Among Obama's vetting of appointees:

"They must include any e-mail that might embarrass the president-elect, along with any blog posts and links to their Facebook pages.

"The application also asks applicants to 'please list all aliases or "handles" you have used to communicate on the Internet.'”

Kyle/Dwayne/Anthesian can kiss that Cabinet position goodbye.

Who wants to vote or work with someone who has made every decision in their life based on how it will look politically?

I remember reading excerpts of WJC's diary while he was at Oxford and he would temper his comments, on issues of the day, based on how they could be viewed politically in the future.

I don't trust people who think that way.

Americans want fake, ambitious, calculating people for their leaders.

Like the AP in my mission who made up "spiritually-uplifting stories" Paul Dunn-style.

How long before he's asking for loyalty oaths? Not oaths based on the Constitution but to him personally? Fascist.
