Comments on: Clinton: Vetting process for administration jobs 'a nightmare' http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/07/13/clinton-says-process-of-vetting-for-administration-jobs-a-nightmare/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Michael Kyle http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/07/13/clinton-says-process-of-vetting-for-administration-jobs-a-nightmare/#comment-2843556 Michael Kyle Tue, 14 Jul 2009 03:51:00 +0000 http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/?p=60276#comment-2843556 I think this article and its angle takes Clinton's quotes out of context. And who really cares anyways? I bet the media is dying to expose Clinton as having pent up emotion that she didnt win the presidency, but I doubt that is the case. In fact, I bet she is loving life a hell of a lot more not having to go gray quite as early as Obama! ;) Start focusing on REAL political issues like the defunct political system in California! This is not even worth a ticker item... I think this article and its angle takes Clinton's quotes out of context. And who really cares anyways?

It is a shame as the next time the Sec of State or others may not be so candid with fellow government employees.

What should be examined is how does the person answer questions, how does she/ he respond to controversial decisions, is she/ he willing to accept that some opponents will be offended regardless, does the person have well restrained temperament or is she/ he very excitable and erratic, and is the person well informed about the subject matter at hand. The revelations of these answers will still take time, but these benchmarks are at least much more concrete than the criteria that Hillary Rodham Clinton has addresses.

If these nominees are not properly vetted, then the same peole, such as Hillary, would be criticizing the president for nominating peole who are either unqualified or has serious problems in their backgrounds. You just can't win with some people. Damed if you do, and damed if you don't! I agree with you Seth.

You are no longer funny, relevant, even-handed as you one might have been. I address your teaser/headline for this "news article:" Ticker: Obama process 'ridiculous,' Clinton says . Turn to the story, and it's about the horrendously growing-by-administration vetting process. Not about Obama, not about Clinton, but about bureaucratic bs. You've been losing your touch, your punch, and again, your relevance by using these high-school level tricks to get readers. Please clean up; t his was always the first thing I looked at upon getting home from work. Dear Ticker:

Mainly, it's a statement about her frustration with the necessary steps in the process. They're "ridiculous." But we've seen so many appointed that were vetted poorly.
