The Great Andy Card Replacement

Right - changing the White House chief of staff from one old Bushie to another will make a big deal change in an administration that is blind and deaf to the rest of the country.

As Judd at Think Progress notes:

6.592 trillion: Federal debt on June 26, 2003, the day Josh Bolten became director of the Office of Management and Budget.

$8.364 trillion: Federal debt today.

In the Bush administration, this is grounds for a promotion.

Bolten was Bush's budget man before this, and has been with the Bushies since the start. He's another dismal choice in a sea of horrible choices.
