Barry is shrewdly manipulative and dangerous.  His controversial appointees coincidentally have/had baggage from the Clinton era and are familiar and high profile names; Daschle, Geithner, and Holder. 
He's too cautious and calculated to not have known his boys carried serious baggage. 
It is not a stretch that he nominate crooks to deflect attention from his action/inaction? It will be interesting to see who his next picks are.   He won over some critics with "I screwed up."  Sensible people know it's crap because.   
Barry knew the original "stimulus" was impassable when he "reached across" to republicans.  Republicans and reasonable democrats are  doing the work.  He knew he did not have experience for an economic package or anything else an elected official does.  But Barry has experience in manipulation.  We should all wonder what he is working on. 
He's demonstrated his love of strategy when he dismissed valid questions that were potentially detrimental to his campaign about Reverend Wright, Ayers, Acorn involvement and his citzienship as Republican "smear tactics," and as a weak attempt to make him a bad guy.  His belief or reliance on strategy and manipulation says a lot about him; just look at his devoted "fan base."     
Americans elects a president to protect the country and uphold American tradition.  Barry is incapable or realizing or appreciating the seriousness and duties of a Commander in Chief's duties because they are NOT his own.
That is scary.
