PHOTO INDEX: EVIE REFALKO McNULTY WITH BARACK OBAMA AND ANN LOKUTA.

OBAMA'S STRATEGY

It seems the President-Elect has taken a safe but steady form of strategy in employing a Cabinet. The choices reflect a type of pragmatism not seen since the days of FDR. Obama has put in place a team of strong individuals, a few who under different circumstances could have been President themselves. This will be a strong group of people willing to give opinions but knowledgable enough to recognize that Obama is at the top of the food chain. The Cabinet picks have inspired confidence in the new administration and even a level of excitement as we draw near Jan. 20th and the start of a new era.

LOKUTA FOR.........?

Some of the posters to this blog have seemed to start a grass roots effort to get Judge Ann Lokuta into one of the county row office races. The favorite pick seems to be for Prothonotary. Whether the barred Judge would have an interest is open to conjecture but it seems people, some people are willing to support someone who has a reputation for shaking things up.

BOOGIE SHOES

So President Bush goes on a final tour of Iraq and gets a pair of shoes thrown at him. The President ducked very well, bobbing and weaving like Ali in his prime. I guess he expected a bigger thank you from the Iraq people for depleting their water supply, having sporadic electricity a few hours a day and destroying half of the infrastructure of the country. Hey, good thing he didn't get his hands on their economy, financial institutions and any rebuilding programs. "Nice job there, Bushie". For our President, a tribute from K.C. and the Sunshine Band.
