Even though Sylvia Burwell comes from the business community, expect obstructionist Republicans/Tea Partiers to object to her nomination.
Obama put someone in the empty sit again look its a female.
Walmart's charitable org...isn't that an oxymoron?
I hope that she can do a good job. I wouldn't want to be connected to Wal-Mart. That company needs to have more stuff made here in the US and treat its workers better.
Well for once I can understand one of his appointments. His budget head brings an extensive background in giving away other people's money. Perfect ... just perfect. :-(
I'll admit everytime I hear the word Wal-Mart, I get upset and angry but I'll hold my judgment on Ms. Burwell for now. I also know there are those who will critize the president's picks no matter who they are just because he picked them and I don't want to have any part of those crazies so carry on Mr. President.
Stay tuned; Mc Cain will "have further questions and Cruz will "have , here, in his pocket......"
