This is the best Obama can do?

We all know about Gov. Bill Richardson's withdrawal as commerce secretary because of a grand jury investigation into a pay-for-play scheme involving New Mexico state contracts.

Now we learn that Timothy Geithner, the Wall Street tycoon that Barack Obama picked as his treasury secretary, neglected to pay $42,000 in back taxes. Obama calls Geithner's failure to pay his taxes an "innocent mistake." Who hasn't been there?

Also, Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, Obama's pick to run the Homeland Security Department, hasn't bothered to complete her home state's security plan in the six years after she took office.

Maybe we could send a message to Osama bin-Laden and ask him to hold off on plans to attack us for a few years until the Obama administration is up and running.

Joe Biden's foot-in-mouth disease. Hillary Clinton's past. CIA Director-nominee Leon Panetta's total lack of experience with intelligence matters.

I feel safe, don't you?

This is the best and brightest the Democratic Party has to offer? Is this the best Obama can do?
