Once again, we agree...on two things;

First, she was wrong and possibly misleading.

Of course, again you are correct, they are not picked by President Obama...

Second, it's a good thing to have checks and balances.

...however, Geitner and the rest of Obama picks for staff are corrupt as well. So I included all of the government as Obama staff because they seem to follow his every command. No checks and balances in this new and improved government. See new post

She goes on in a new post [where once again she drops my name]. Awesome.

As my friend "P" pointed out I did lump the Congress, House and Senate, as part of the Obama administration which they should not be but as I see it they are one and the same. Whatever Obama wants he gets or he punishes them.

I thought she needed an "atta-girl".

Once again, we agree on something! Checks and balances is a good thing. It's not always positive to have a legislative branch who walks in lock-step behind their President for partisan reasons.

Given your perception of this situation, you must have been pulling your hair out during the first 6 years of the Bush administration. I think Cheney/Rove made a few Republican legislators cry on more than one occasion in an effort to keep them in line.
