Why I'm defending Summers?

For background reasons -- and my own PUMA credentials -- see the first Comment to this post.

Obama was hiring all good old Clinton 90s people for economic positions. 'Women's groups' bashing Summers gave Obama cover to bring in two inexperienced Bots -- as token women.

WHY ... and my PUMA credentials.

I supported Hillary because she and Bill did a good job in the 90s, especially with the economy. Summers, their last Treasury Secretary, was a key part of that team, and is the best qualified person now available for his old job, or some other high post.

Also, bashing Summers is bashing the Clintons, who hired him and promoted him through three confirmation processes: as Under Secretary of the Treasury, as Deputy, then as Secretary.

Also, I don't like the sort of attack that has been done against Gore, Hillary, Bill, Ferraro, Palin -- misquoting someone or distorting their words so as to call them a 'racist' -- or in Summers' case a 'sexist'. I don't want to see PUMAS joining bots and NARAL in a similar attack against Summers.

MY OWN PUMA CREDENTIALS
I supported the Clintons in the 90s. Since fall 2007, I have been posting and blogging for Hillary, then Sarah, under fsteele, old democrat, 1950democrat, turndownobama ... at sites such as hillaryis44.org, bitterpoliticz, pumapac, clintondems, etc as well as MSM.
I have started the following blogs/sites: 1950democrat.livejournal.com, fall 2007; ironmyvote.com, Jan 2008, turndownobama.com, c. May 2008; PumaResponders.com project summer 2008.
I have also registered pumapac.net and pumapac.com to 'guard their back' to keep the bots from making fakes sites under those names.
