What do you think? Dangerous? Yes? No?
I find it incredibly odd that he would appoint a Republican as Commerce Secretary, giving the conservatives a bone so to speak, and then quite promptly yank away what is arguably the most important part of his job.
Partisan politics as usual? (Something Obama swore up and down he wouldn't do) or is he just trying to make sure the Census goes right? Or is he trying to make sure the Census goes "left"?
Interested in opinions since this could easily get swept under the rug with all the stimulus talk. I'm wondering if that might not be Obama's plan. Make a little power grab over here while i've directed everyone's attention over there.
