Good News Out of Washington, For a Change

Obama Has Fewer Than Half of His Top Appointees in Place - NYTimes.com: "Of more than 500 senior policymaking positions requiring Senate confirmation, just 43 percent have been filled — a reflection of a White House that grew more cautious after several nominations blew up last spring, a Senate that is intensively investigating nominees and a legislative agenda that has consumed both.

While career employees or holdovers fill many posts on a temporary basis, Mr. Obama does not have his own people enacting programs central to his mission."


Oh no, Obama's statist mission being thwarted by a shortage of senior statists in Washington?
