Six members of President-elect Barack Obamas transition team for government operations worked in the Clinton administration, and one of them runs a consulting firm that has listed Freddie Mac as a client.
The group will review the nuts and bolts of federal agencies, from managing government property to hiring government workers to handling national archives and official records.
Linh Nguyen, wholl oversee the office of personnel management review for the Government Operations Transition Team, founded Morningside Consulting in 2006. His company has since done work for Freddie Mac, as well as Wells Fargo, American Express, Chase Bank, Citibank and a handful of government agencies, including the homeland security and defense departments.
Before founding the consulting firm, Nguyen was a partner in Accenture, which began as the consulting division of Arthur Andersen and later became Andersen Consulting. Accenture is a company that specializes in consulting, technology and offshore outsourcing services.
Working with Nguyen on personnel management is Sylvia Bolivar, who served in the White House personnel office under President Bill Clinton. Shes now the special assistant to the president of a labor union that represents textile, hotel and food industry workers. She supported New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton during the Democratic primaries, donating $1,000 to her campaign, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
The Clinton administration connections in Obamas government operations transition team run from a former chief of staff for the General Services Administration to a former director of the Office of Government Ethics.

a former director of the Office of Government Ethics
in the Clinton administrations.. damn.
that must have qualified ‘em for hazardous duty pay.
I’ll be honest.
If all Hussein brings us is a 3rd Clinton term, I’ll be pleasantly surprised.
I figure the guy will make the Clintons look like hard core conservatives.
I hear ya.
Obama Clinton

“The Obama transition tapped a cybersecurity and Web 2.0 consultant, Bruce McConnell, for the part of this team that will handle National Archives and records administration reviews”
He must be pretty handy with a shredder and wiping stuff off the internet....lol.
Of course, we knew someone would have to write the speeches and keep the teleprompters in good working order for Obama.
Bubba must be in a red faced rage in Chappaqua.
The team that he put together has now been appropriated by Obama.
Without attribution.
When Obama was talking about Hope, we didn’t know he meant Hope, Arkansas.
Socks the cat will probably be the Obama’s new pet.
The way things are going, it’s only a matter of time before Vernon Jordan,Monica Lewinsky and a blue dress become additions to the Obama admnistration.
Well, duh.....
The Clintons and Obama are both fronts and both work for the same man, Soros and whoever he is aligned with.
Change!
I understand the Clintonistas are thrilled to be back in power. The question is, is Obama thrilled to have the Clintonistas back? Did he always plan to have what looks like a third term Clinton administration?
Not really --There is no loyalty in politics --power/prestige is what the politicos grave and they don't care who they have to align with to get it --Clintonistas be overjoyed at getting back on the scene
One of two things happened here:
I think the second is more likely. Hillary had something to strong arm him with, and the "price" for her endorsement and support was a good cabinet post plus good posts for her and Bill's friends and advisors.
I just don't see the Clintons giving up the entire party and apparatus without a fight. She probably had enough on Obama to take him down in the general election and run again in 2012. But she didn't. I think we're seeing the reason for that now.
CHANGE was just a banality that could be chanted by the lemmings —nothing more
Either he is just a puppet and whoever is pulling the strings is telling him what to do or he knows he doesn’t know a damn thing about running the government so where else can he go to get people except the retread democrat establishment that served Clinton
I’ve been saying this for a week already. Really. I have. You can look it up, LOL! :)
Ping! More ammo for Monday’s Water Cooler Chat. :)
If it smells like a skunk, it’s a Clinton. ;-)
