How isn't it change? And who the fuck is he supposed to appoint that has experience in the executive branch you eliminate all of the Clintonistas from consideration?

Dung, all joking aside you are obviously politically knowledgable (sp) you should get a job with the administration. You know your sh*t. You sell the story also to people to the left of Obama as well as the right.

[DigitalDave]

Yes, anyone with a moniker describing a pile of crap should definatly work in government.

[Onceler]

I love the idiocy from the right about CHANGE. It's like...oh, Obama's wearing a suit today; Bush wore suits, too...some CHANGE!

It would be stupid for Obama to appoint all Washington outsiders to important posts in his admin. That ain't the change he was talking about, dumbo's...

I appreciate the compliment but I'm afraid the application process would weed me out:

The questionnaire includes 63 requests for personal and professional records, some covering applicants’ spouses and grown children as well, that are forcing job-seekers to rummage from basements to attics, in shoe boxes, diaries and computer archives to document both their achievements and missteps.

Only the smallest details are excluded; traffic tickets carrying fines of less than $50 need not be reported, the application says. Applicants are asked whether they or anyone in their family owns a gun. They must include any e-mail that might embarrass the president-elect, along with any blog posts and links to their Facebook pages.

The application also asks applicants to “please list all aliases or ‘handles’ you have used to communicate on the Internet.”

Yikes. No thank you.

They just cant figure out that this is the Change America voted for , Its a change from Bushy and the republican party.

Imagine Bill and Hill double teaming world leaders who already will be so glad to see Bush ditched.

Its is the change the entire world wanted.

Go view the tape of Bush at the G20 if you dont understand this.

[Chapdog]

Holder for attorney general.. 0 change and extremely disappointing
Clinton for Sec of State.. I wouldn't have voted for obama if i knew hed do that.

Other possibles:
Gates, Kerry, Lugar

such change

So change means you need all new people who have never been in government before?

Just a false attack on Obama.

Change means away from the BUSH FAILED PRESIDENCY. Were Obama to choose Condi Rice as Sec of State, that would be a failure to change. Senator Clinton as Sec. of State... That is real change.

They are definitally working hard to avoid embarrassing mistakes vetting their people. That questionaire would eliminate me for sure. (mainly because I wouldn't answer some of the questions)

so you have zero problem with who hes selecting so far?

[Jarod]

No, I likely would have perfered Richardson as Sec. of State over Clinton, but I am happy with Clinton. I am very happy with his choices thus far.

It represents a HUGE change from the past 8 years.

[Bonestorm]

Apparently if you can find one commonality between the people Obama is nominating and anyone that previously held a similar position it is no change. Hence, the fact that Holder was a drug warrior while the US Attorney for D.C. means he is "zero" change notwithstanding the fact that he has spoken out forcefully against the abuses of the Bush Administration in the pursuit of the war on terror and their ridiculously expansive views on Executive power.

And no, I'm not generally pleased with all of the leaked cabinet appointments, but that doesn't mean it isn't "change." Further, the one area that needs the least amount of change is the State Department. There are very good people there now, they just have zero power and have been marginalized by the Bush Administration's love of the Pentagon and the unchecked authority of the Office of the Vice President.

No that's not it. Hillary would have won if 'change' was just a Democrat instead of Bush. Obama talked about 'change' from the way Washington worked and that meant the way it worked under Bush and Clinton.
