Obama's 'Change': Appointing Beltway Has-Beens
newsmax ^ | 11/9/08 | Dick Morris

Posted on 11/10/2008 1:43:54 PM PST by onlylewis

What's with Obama's choice of old-time Clinton cronies and recycled Washington insiders to run the transition to his new politics of change?

Can't the anti-Washington-insiders and the president-elect find anyone who isn't a Beltway has-been?

Judging by the appointments to his transition committee and leaks about possible top staff and Cabinet choices, Obama appears to be practicing the politics of status quo, not the politics of change.

It's kind-of like wiping your butt with used toilet paper.
You have dried old s**t and a fresh new s**t. Either way it still smells like S**T.

We need all the conservative talk people using the tired liberal phrase they trot out anytime this happens and they don’t like it:

“THIS IS GOING TO TURN BACK THE HANDS OF THE CLOCK....”

If I have to find something to laugh about it will be the disillusionment of all those Obama voters.

They remind me of the people in the film ‘Independence Day’ that when up on the roof to ‘welcome’ the aliens. Zap! You’ve been Obamanized.

Obama Wins, Economy’s Doomed will be the big change.

Peter Schiff, president of Euro Pacific Capital and author of ‘The Little Book of Bull Moves in Bear Markets,’ says a big-government Obama administration will lead to an economic collapse on par with the Great Depression.

Sarah Palin was a brilliant pick

If McCain would have OPPOSED the bailout he would be president

Rev Wright issue should have not been pulled off the table by McCain

How could McCain's opposition research not have found the relations on Obama that came out in the 11th hour

Biden was a bad pick because of his gaffs
