Does Jamie Ruben have some personal beef with the Obama Administration?
He's on MSNBC now and I've seen him across all the cable networks the last couple of days and he seems so snide and negative about Obama and the whole Administration. He goes out of his way to compliment Bush and subtly slam Obama.
Anybody know what's up with him?

7. Clintonite...they CONTINUED Poppy's agenda in that region throughout the 90s.

Obama must have been given a script to follow and decided to try another way. Ruben would be expressing the Bush-Clinton-Bush POV. This must be causing some turmoil in certain offices at the State Dept.

8. Apropos of nothing, perhaps,
but isn't he the son of Robert Rubin, Bill Clinton's Treasury Secretary and from Goldman Sachs prior and Citigroup after?

11. No. Different Jamie Rubin. Strange, but true.
The son of Robert Rubin is married to Gretchen Rubin (Happiness Project, etc.).
