What is Vetting?

It makes me wonder what vetting really is or what it means. During the election, the democrats seemed to think the republicans had no idea how to vet a proper Vice Presidential candidate. All these stories kept coming out about Palin and how she did this, or said that.

But now, I'm starting to think that no one knows how to vet someone for a position. Look at all the cabinet positions and White House staff positions have already been vacated before they've even been filled. We haven't even completed the first 30 days of the presidency.

Consider this. Talk is talk, a speech is a speech, but unless you can back up what you say with real actions, then it means nothing. Where is the "change"? Where is the tossing of "politics as usual"? You let me know when you see it.
