This New York Times article (6/12/2008) by Gail Collins questions the judgement of Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama after the recent resignation of James Johnson. Johnson was the head of the VP candidate selection committee for Obama.
Collins criticized the appointment of a man who in the past selected two highly unsuccessful VP running mates (for Walter Mondale and John Kerry); headed up the Countrywide Financial Corp. and had a role in the subprime lending fiasco; was the former head of Fannie Mae (which was widely criticized for its questionnable accounting practices; and, who was involved in a number of controversial compensation package decision (including a $1.4 billion stock option package at UnitedHealth Group).
Collins suggests that Obama showed poor judgement because is tired and needs some rest after a gruelling primary campaign. At least, he got this one out of his system early, she said.
Should we forgive him and give him a Mulligan? Or, is this a preview of decision-making to come???
