Try to stay on topic.

1. To The Messiah, ‘southern’ is South Chicago.

2. I haven’t found anybody in his cabinet who appears to have ever built or run a business either. There is hardly anybody who has ever even had a private sector job (Hillary comes closest by having a private law firm job which was built on her husbands Gov status. Maybe Gates has done something but I’m not aware of it.)

Ron Kirk is waiting in the wings to be named this week..

Ron Kirk qualifies as a conservative compared to this crowd. I doubt he's on the team.

No Southerners? He and his buddies are bigoted.

I was watching a TCM movie the other night. Terrible the way they portrayed blacks and Southerners back then.

"The risk to the president-elect is that if he doesn't appoint anyone from the South to top level policy positions, he is going to look like he is buying into the stereotype that there isn't anyone from the South smart enough to work for him."

I guess the Clinton's are no longer the smartest male and female on the planet.

Personally, I think it's the Guns & God thing. Too much competition with the elect-Messiah's message & agenda.
