Obama Just a Poor Judge of People

Glenn Reynolds points out in instapundit.com, that Obama has had a number of bad appointments. This is an understatement. He points out:

SO HOW MANY BAD APPOINTMENTS HAS OBAMA HAD? There’s Chas Freeman, Sanjay Gupta, Annette Nazareth, Tom Daschle, Bill Richardson, Nancy Killefer — who am I leaving out? And there are still problems with Adolfo Carrion. But at least Ron Kirk made it through despite his tax problems.
UPDATE: Oh, yeah. Judd Gregg. And the Zinni debacle.

I think the real problem is that Obama himself is just an extremely poor judge of people. Look back at the type of people he has chosen to be friends with and associated with. Let's not even go into Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright. Even most of his more mainstream associates have had problems.

If only people knew that this was the type of change he'd be bringing. One thing he has accomplished in all this is that the media is now yawning about his ridiculous appointments. It's like - Oh - another one? So many bad ones - people have come to expect this from Obama.
