If You Like Obama, You'll Love His Team

Bill Dyer (a/k/a Beldar) over at Hugh Hewitt's references this article from the Sunday online edition of the Financial Times, which points out some of Obama's likely choices for cabinet positions.

How do you like this, America? Chuck Hagel as Secretary of Defense. John Kerry as Secretary of State. Hagel, for those who don't know, is a nominally Republican senator from Nebraska who fought against Bush's every move in Iraq, including the surge, and who was once considered to be in the running as Obama's VP - i.e., he's a moron's moron. John "Lucky Hat" Kerry needs no introduction.

If this happens, I will have to borrow from The One, Himself, when he was busy throwing some of his shady associates under the bus: "This is not the America I knew." In fact, I wonder if a President Obama wouldn't, in effect, be throwing us all under the bus.

Update: Hey, thanks a lot, Mike.

Update II: Associations matter. For example, Obama couldn't get clearance to be his own bodyguard.

Isn't that pretty obvious already, from the way his campaign has been conducted so far?
