Dan Glickman
Was I the only one who noticed the irony in the appointment of former Rep. Dan Glickman (D-Kan.) as secretary of agriculture (Dec. 29)?
After serving his district for 18 years Glickman was voted out of office by the people who knew him best. And what’s his reward? Our President promotes him to a Cabinet position.
Since he wasn’t good enough to represent his constituents, why is he now good enough to serve the entire country? Does the President know something more than those who had been represented by Glickman? And is this just another case of government not being responsive to the people? Just wondering.
