I have to admit, it's true

I haven't been paying that much attention to the announcements of Obama's cabinet choices which, in the main, have been just/at least as disappointing as his decision re: Rick Warren and the inaugural invocation. Because of my associations with only limited non-profit groups, there's no one who specifically emailed me about all of those decisions, though I have gotten a fair bit of email about Bush's legacy of protecting people who want to retain jobs in health care that for religious reasons they don't care to actually perform according to the standards of the medical establishment.

And I sigh.

Because otherwise this is a pretty happy time for me.

Obama.

Radio 4, the UK Talk Radio today stated that he has chosen two believers in global Warming to his new cabinet, (if that's the right term for the US). This is, apparently in addition to a 'scattering' of other folk who also believe and hopefully are willing to act.

Promising I guess.

Also this past weekend, I read an article in the Mail on Sunday, (UK Rag) which basically said that all recent historical revolutions, (like in the past 300 years have been driven or directly caused by depressions. It centered on the obvious connection between the great epression of the '30's and the rise of Nazi Germany. But, it did make you think if Obama is that revolution or if womthing else was on the way.
