WASHINGTON – President-elect Barack Obama promised the voters change but has started his Cabinet selection process by naming several Washington insiders to top posts.

...

The rest of the story is non-critical. But the lead and headline are moderately so.

Pathetic how the MSM has decided now that they got their candidate elected that they can start to actually report again.

It may look that way, but if you read the articles they make it sound like he’s doing a great job by hiring all of ‘ol Bills’ buddies. Now we know why Bill and Hill were silent during the last month of the elections. It almost looks like they are positioning themselves to have inside control of the puppet.

So you think Hillary is going to forgive and forget what these people did to her? I do not think so... she may well play along until she gets her loan she took from her own bank account paid in full with interest, but I am not expecting her to take a back seat to any of these people. She sure never took the back seat during her copresidency. And why would Bill suffer himself to fall under this young pup's guidelines? Seems to me this 'unity' fest is a simmering boil under the covers for the time being.

This is actually "good" news, folks. If Obama is essentially Bill Clinton chapter three, rather than some Trotskyite, we may not actually see the complete dismantling of the freedoms that men died for..., and we may have something we can actually resist and reform.

I had much rather have Rahm Emmanuel than Bill Ayres.....

Of course, I had rather have Sarah Palin, Bobby Jindal, Mark Sanford, or Mike Pence than either of those first two, but 2010 comes before that choice, huh?

Zero is picking insiders because he is such a neophyte and so completely unknown and out of the loop.

It should be obvious to the MSM that Zero did not choose to run for the presidency because of his vision for America.

Zero was chosen to run as a face by the same insiders who have been in power for decades. They chose a man who has no power, no voice and no choice but to promote the policies of his masters.

If the MSM hadn’t been so in the pockets of these people, they might have raised questions during the campaign.

But, the MSM in America is the equivalent to Pravda echoing the Politburo in USSR.

No voice. No courage. No ethics.

Maybe he can pick someone from Jimmy Carter’s administration, or perhaps Jimmy himself.

He was probably chose because of age these people. Remember Bill was in his 40’s when he was elected.

Been saying for several days now, the only ‘change’ we are going to see is in the depth of penetration in the royal screwing we get.

Damn straight! The controllers simply went with the ad campaign featuring the "black guy" instead of the "working woman."

Actually, if what you’re saying is true, then that would be the best case scenario. A worse outcome would be that Obama is planning on making permanent socialistic changes to the country well above and beyond a generic Democratic administration.

” A worse outcome would be that Obama is planning on making permanent socialistic changes to the country well above and beyond a generic Democratic administration.”

I don’t think it makes any difference. The Clintonites are following Quigley’s writings while the leftists who followed Zero are communists whether they know it or not.

The Clinton cabal is closer to oligarchs than socialism. It’s a hydra that is coming into power now. The citizen has no power other than what the ruling group allows it to have. They are proponants of pure democracy which is just mob rule that can be manipulated easily. Our media outlets testify to that. Just wait until Prop 8 is overturned or somehow turned back even though it is the will of the people.
