Where’s the change? According to this article (Obama Transition to Power (CNN)) more than half of Obama’s appointees thus far were in the Clinton administration.
We're not saying they’re not qualified to do the job but are they the ONLY people qualified to do the job? Where's the change if Obama’s comprising his administration mostly of old Washington insiders? Where’s the NEW Washington we were promised? They’re the same Clintonista’s that ran the country over eight years ago but, like most of us, they’re older, grayer and heavier now.
We were told we wouldn’t get four-more-years of Bush but four-more-years of Clinton was never mentioned.
This was probably part of the backroom deal that got Hillary to back down during the convention rather than go “scorched earth” and win the nomination. Couple that with Hillary possibly being part of the administration and Bill may have found a way to get his third term he lamented about in 2000. He said at the time that if he could run for a third term he would.
But, all-in-all THAT’S not change. It’s more of the same just “retro” same.
