I was amused by the articles today about how the extensive vetting process and "invasive" background checks by the Obama transition team are scaring potential candidates for cabinet positions away. I say who gives a shit - they shouldn't apply for the position if they have stuff to hide. These people are only going to be running the country, for god's sake - so yeah no shit they should receive even more scrutiny than people applying for the FBI.

Seems pretty smart to me that they turn over every stone in someone's past, given the insane microscope Obama is under going in to the presidency, there are those just waiting and hoping he stumbles on even the smallest thing like some cabinet appointee with even the smallest skeleton in the closet.
