I may be depressing some of you with my recent posts which have offered criticism of the Obama transition team’s hiring decisions. I’m not anti-Obama (far from it!), I just want us all to be realistic about what’s happening, and to apply what pressure we can to keep things moving in the right direction.
I also want to give credit where credit is due. This is from the transition team’s official website, change.gov:
The Obama-Biden Transition Project does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or any other basis of discrimination prohibited by law. (Emphasis added)
Right on.
Steve, thanks for noting the positive things that are happening.
We are all counting on you to help keep Obama honest though. I beleive he is a good man and wants to do the right thing for this country, but is up against the most powerful, monied forces on the planet. As he noted in many of his speeches, he needs us to keep the pressure on to do the right thing.
