What Change??

Change, Change, Change, Change, Change <-----------Obama's campaign promises

Same, Same, Same, Same, Same <---------the look of his new cabinet



I suppose he is not even president yet, so we have to at least give him a chance, but so far the appearance is that there will be very little, if any, major change. So far I do not see a single cabinet position being filled by someone who is not a pro-establishment mainstream Democrat. No new faces at all, and certainly not the look of an administration that is very liberal or one that is going to make any kind of major change.

You didn't actually believe anything he said or promised did you?

This will be awesome. Can't wait to see if the libby media actually calls him on it.


Remember kids: change, change, hope, change, change.

There is a change alright. Everyone from Clinton's cabinet is now his....and Hillary is your SoS, good luck with that. She should be welcomed in the middle east

At least now he isn't a Senator anymore.

You know this will never happen. They will just talk about how progressive it was for him to reach out to people like Hillary and so on. Obama is the media's golden boy who can do no wrong.

Yes we can!

The only liberal television host who seems to be making a stink about it is Rachel Maddow on MSNBC. The rest of the mainstream media seems to love it.

It looks like we will have a Clinton administration all over again. Basically, a very slight shift to the left, but no major change. All you conservatives that screamed "SOCIALIST" can rest easy. There will be no socialism.

As I said several months ago, Obama is no far-left liberal. He is rather moderate, and his cabinet appointments certainly reflect that.

Well he ran on a socialist platform. So all the kool-aid drinkers will have to dance with the girl they brought

Obama will make "new beginning" for national security. http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/12/...rap/index.html

Wonderful, last I checked, we hadn't had a terrorist attack in the US since 2001.....lets CHANGE that I guess.

The terrorist attacks happen when our intelligence agencies want them to. The President's national security team has nothing to do with it. Their job is simply to get on television and say what they are told to say to make everyone feel nice and secure and at the same time, make sure everyone supports the foreign policy agenda to invade whatever country is being economically targetted and thus blamed for the covert operation/terrorist attack. You will be just as secure under President Obama as you were under President Bush, meaning as secure as they want you to be. As soon as they decide that they can trade your security and/or life in order to gain public support for the next foreign invasion, you will no longer be secure. But you can be assured those decisions are not being made by those on the President's national security team. They are simply there to give a speech every once in a while to make you feel good.
