Why aren't Obama's appointees protecting him?

Is there a reason that President Obama’s appointees aren’t protecting him from embarrassment?

Geithner insisted on becoming treasury secretary despite his tax problems.

Daschle so far hasn’t had the good grace to back out after the disclosures of his tax cheating.

Ray LaHood, one of the great pay to play Republicans of all time and a GOP turncoat, will make sure those who want to play will pay.

Eric Holder helped Clinton pardon terrorists and Rich.

Hillary and Blll Clinton embarrassed themselves with all kinds of unethical behavior before they set out to make Obama look dumb.

David Axlerod lies like a Chicago politician, which works for Obama.

Joe Biden is inartfully practicing nepotism with his former senate seat, which is being held by a staffer for Biden’s son.

At least Bill Richardson had the good manners to withdraw as the Commerce Dept. nominee, but if he really had had Obama’s interests at heart, he never would have taken the Commerce nomination in the first place.

But Sen. Judd Gregg (R-VT) reportedly is willing to betray his party, country and state for a full-time job. If he does take Commerce and gives the Dems 60 seats in the Senate, no one, including his enemies in the Obama administration, will trust him. And Republicans will hate Obama as intensely as Gorian Dems have hated Bush since 2000.

Do you see the pattern of dishonesty, self-serving appointees and gutless responses by President Obama?

Is it possible that Obama’s appointees don’t feel much loyalty to him because they don’t respect him, hardly know him and even resent his improbable election?
