Fresh New Faces, Or Old Recgonizable Ones?
The Obamaessiah is in the process of naming his cabinet post and as many might have guessed, there really isn't much change in his picks from the last Democratic presidency of Bill Clinton. We are seeing some familiar names in the muck of it all. Former Secretary of Energy Bill Richardson, has been named the new Commerce Secretary. Former advisor to Bill Clinton in 1998, Rham Emanuel, will be the White House Chief of Staff. Then you have Hillary Clinton as the new Secretary of State. Wow! Mr. Obama, you really pulled it over the American people. The platform of 'Change' was really a smoke screen of pushing the agenda forward. There has been some criticism of Mr. Obama for not bringing fresh new faces to the table, but in some cases I couldn't really blame him. There aren't too many fresh new faces in Washington to take the reigns and move the country ahead. Reason stems from that simple fact that most people see how ugly the politics have been that past 8 years. The constant blame President Bush for anything and everything has gone on far too long. Too many Americans are relying on the government to fulfill their basic needs. Now we have the choices for almost all of the Obama Cabinet and many come with some valuable experience but there are others who have a significant amount of baggage to lug around with them that can make them a target for the Republicans. Now the Republicans need to really take this information and carefully examine every move that these people make in their new found position and ensure that they act in responsible manner regarding the fate of the US. As most Conservatives are upset with an Obama victory, they can certainly take comfort in the fact that the same Clinton faces that will soon take residence in the Obama cabinet will most definitely feel the uncomfortable Conservative stare and cave under pressure.
