Given the fact that BHO was leaning on Bubba today, it’s entirely possible he simply chose him because he’s competent, which he is. A liberal of longstanding, but competent which this administration doesn’t look for outside of defense. Not to mention the fact that during the Bush years he ran alternative investments at Citicorp. All administration officials need to spend some time at a financial institiution, like future Justice Kagan and Goldman.

That's not how 0bama typically chooses people to work for him.
Obama’s is using this guy’s Judaism as a prop.

(And I do not mean this derisively of Jewish people. I mean this is obvious tokenism.)
