Chris Cilleza, resident dolt at the WaPo, has a poll
He thought it would be cute to ask Obama would offer Gore a position as Secretary of Energy (mostly nukes, and 15th in line of succession under the the Presidential Succession Act of 1947), or Energy Czar (whatever that is, no budget, just some drapery and a conditional podium that doesn't face Wall Street or Main Street), Senior Adviser on Climate Change and Global Warming (same as Energy Czar) or "nothing".
Clearly "nothing", as in Jefferson-Jackson in Des Moines. What the hell other than the threat of a primary challenge mounting about the time the honeymoon wears off and the "100 Days" accomplishments is ... no single payer until the next administration, no smart, purposeful, use of public money to transform the transportation sector, no radical energy plan, ...
We wanted a Democrat, and if all we got was center-right administration attempting to market its image as center-left, then we'll have to get us a real Democrat.
I checked "nothing". We've been to Iowa. For Gore.

Couldn't we, ya know, wait until the guy actually takes office before declaring him a failure?

The guy's term of office hasn't even started yet, and you want to start forming the circular firing squad?
Count me out.
