I thought the Obama campaign was all about "change", to get us beyond the "Bush Years", and all of those "special interests" in Washington DC, etc. However, it seems we are moving back to the "Clinton Years" as President-elect Obama loads up his team with former Clinton administration insiders.
But that's OK, right, because these are Clinton's old cronies? Republican cronies are to be abhored, and Democratic cronies are to be revered! At this rate, I must wonder if Hillary Clinton will be Secretary of State?
Here are a few of the "Clinton Team" recently picked up by Obama:
Gregory B. Craig, a former State Department official who served as former President Bill Clinton's impeachment lawyer, will be White House counsel, serving as President-elect Obama's chief lawyer.
Mona Sutphen, a former special assistant to Mr. Clinton's national-security adviser, Sandy Berger, was named deputy chief of staff.
Jim Messina, a veteran Senate aide and Mr. Obama's campaign chief of staff, will also serve as White House deputy chief of staff.
Phil Schiliro, a veteran House aide, will be President-elect Obama's liaison to Congress.
Rahm Emanuel a former senior advisor to President Clinton will be President-elect Obama's White House chief of staff.
Ron Klain, who was also a top aide to Vice President Al Gore will be Vice President-elect Joe Biden's chief of staff.
