Shorter Politico:
Doesn't Barack Obama's election prove that Real Americans suffer from discrimination more than anyone else in America?
Okay so I really can't let this piece go without saying something about the absurdity of Politico hinging a piece about dissatisfaction with Obama's cabinet on an anonymous quote, (or on no quotes at all) then tossing the only people who will go on record at the end of the piece, because they contradict the point of the article. What makes the "senior anonymous aide" and their personal insight more significant that the southern Democrats quoted by name as either poking fun at Politico for the question or saying it doesn't matter? I mean I guess "Democrats pretty satisfied with Obama cabinet" isn't exactly thrilling copy.
