One more time: Howard Dean

[HelenWheels]

Just read where Howard said in a recent speech he wanted some post in the Obama Administration but it was now apparent he wasn't going to get one. What ingratitude on the part of Obama.

WASHINGTON - Outgoing Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean said Friday he would have liked to work in the Obama administration, but instead is embarking on a life in the private sector after nearly 30 years in politics.

"Dean told The Associated Press in an interview that he is weighing where next to take a career that has moved rapidly from family doctor to Vermont governor to presidential candidate to national party boss. This Wednesday, he ends a term as chairman in which Democrats recaptured the White House, seized majorities in Congress and picked up governorships.

Some of his supporters have been upset that after all he's done for Democrats, President-elect Barack Obama did not pick him for an administration job. When asked how he felt, Dean said he would "punt on that one."

"Obviously, it would have been great," Dean said in a telephone interview from his home in Burlington, Vt. "But it's not happening and the president has the right to name his own Cabinet, so I'm not going to work in the government it looks like."

6. It doesn't say what the OP asserts

[madfloridian]

7. The OP only asserted this part, the rest was obviously opinion.

"Howard said in a recent speech he wanted some post in the Obama Administration but it was now apparent he wasn't going to get one."

AND that is what is in the article.

You are doing selective reading.

8. nope

It wasn't a speech and Dean never said it was "apparent he wasn't going to get one." The OP was spun negatively.

13. Speech, interview

the info is the same.

[wyldwolf]

16. not as you presented it

[mckeown1128]

18. I agree wyld.

The thread was suggesting something that wasn't in the link. Some are determined to find Dem on Dem drama that just isn't there.

[HelenWheels]

12. And you are nit picking

Maybe I did put some of my feelings into my post but isn't it apparent he isn't going to get an appointment? Geez.

[madfloridian]

17. Hey, I was defending you. Sorry.

Geez...

[HelenWheels]

19. I didn't mean you sorry nt

[HelenWheels]
