Bush’s New Cabinet

President Bush is taking a lot of heat from the left on his Cabinet replacements, especially for Condi Rice being nominated to replace Colin Powell as Secretary of State. The main complaint is that the new Cabinet members are staunch Bush policy supporters and the fear mongers of the Dems. are trying to scare the American public with predictions of an out-of-control executive branch that functions with zero internal dissent. A Wall Street Journal editorial discusses this concept today: (free registration req.)

… This brings us back to the current administration. George W. Bush is accused of burying cabinet government for good with his appointments of close confidantes Rice, Alberto Gonzales and Margaret Spellings. Nonsense. Contrary to Andrew Sullivan, a cabinet is not something a president governs with; and contrary to Andrew Jackson, it is not something a president governs around. Ideally, a cabinet is what a president governs through. Now that Mr. Bush has moved his own people into the cabinet, he may at last be able to do just that.”

As a former vice president of a public company, I clearly understood that we were allowed fully to express our opinions and ideas within the confines of the boardroom, but once a company decision was made, we were to close ranks and execute the decisions of the company. That is all that is going on in the Bush administration. It’s time for action from his Cabinet and the rest of the executive branch, not just more talk! . . . db
