But I won't. Megan McArdle say word it that Barack Obama won't name Austin Goolsbee chairman of his Council of Economic Advisers. They want, instead, a woman or a minority in that post.
This has been all-too-typical of Obama's picks so far, ignoring more qualified advisers for people, often with less connection to Obama, that will score them more political points.
"There are men, in all ages, who mean to exercise power usefully; but who mean to exercise it. They mean to govern well; but they mean to govern. They promise to be kind masters; but they mean to be masters." Daniel Webster
