To be quite serious, I don't think you see the forest through the trees.

Obama has set higher standards for appointments than any recent President, if perhaps any in modern history.

The vast majority have been of top quality and had no issues. Yes, there have been a few high profile candidates with issues, who have been turned away or deemed worthy enough to be confirmed by the Senate in bi-partisan votes.

Does this make Daschle a hypocrite? Yes, it certian't has the potential to...but that doesn't make Obama one. In fact it's the standards by which Daschle is being measured that reflect more on Obama in a positive light.

I think when you actually look at the makeup of his Cabinet it's quite impressive regardless of where you stand.

This assumes you've actually taken a look, and not just read some liberal media hit piece.
