All told, Obama has about 500 appointments to make that are subject to Senate confirmation, and about 3,000 positions to fill overall, Light estimates.
Seems a bit excessive, no?

He can single-handedly make an impact in the DC area unemployment situation.

After having seen some of the appointed douchebags do their thing...shouldn't those key "heavy lifting" positions be filled by more experienced (vice more politically connected) people?

Just about every government job by me is filled based on connections, and since Obama is a Chicago politician, why should we expect anything different?
