[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vilsack has a poor record and has made millions working for Big Ag since serving in the Obama administration. A ton of civil rights organizations and advocacy groups are coming out against the pick.

On top of that, Biden said that he is the "bridge to the new generation of leaders." How is picking an old man who served in the job for eight years doing that? I understand the point about having experience and repairing the damage of Trump. But there has to have been at least one other person who could have done a great job, but brings a fresh perspective.

I feel like Biden is just choosing people he has worked closely with, regardless of the repercussions or their records. Just like the Susan Rice as head of domestic policy.

I don't understand some of Biden's choices so far.

If he didn't want to pander to far left activists, fine.  But some of the choices he's made seem foolish...i.e. he could have had a moderate, pro-business crowd around him and still made better selections.   [/quote]
Yeah, the best example was Marsha Fudge and Tom Vilsack. Biden clearly wanted Vilsack to be at USDA, likely because they worked together for years. But Clyburn and the CBC is pushing hard for Fudge at Agriculture. So he gives Vilsack the slot at USDA, then realizes he needs to make Clyburn happy so he puts Fudge at HUD. Fudge has years of experience in agriculture, but none is housing. The funniest thing is that Fudge is on the record saying that Presidents use HUD as a token black position. And then Biden does just that. No strategy at all. [/quote]
