President-elect Barack Obama's transition team is asking potential appointees for detailed background information, setting the stage for one of the toughest review processes to date. Analysts Peter Baker and Paul Light explain to Gwen Ifill the reasoning behind the intense vetting strategy.
Heh, good on the Obama team. If they don't check these guys out with a fine tooth comb. You can bet the Republicans will and if they dig out any dirt. The Republican manufactured shit storm will be immense.
um.... he was vetted in the democratic primaries and in the general election ... as in, he ran a nearly 2 year campaign, under intense media spotlight. I would like to see if anyone could endure that kind of process. The people voted, just like how the left wing had to put up with Bush, the right wing will just have to put up with Obama.
