Many pundits are starting to get on President-elect Barack Obama for appointing some Clinton administration officials to his new government. They rant that appointing these throw-backs aren't the change Obama promised.
Perhaps during the campaign the pundits mislistened. Yes, Obama promised change, but mostly change from George Bush and the Republicans, not change from competent government. Apparently, some will only be happy if we flush everyone from Washington, DC, then scour the front-porches of Arkansas, the barrooms of New York, rest homes in Florida and malls of California for new talent. I guess they envision a return to the yahoo government of the Jackson administration.
John McCain tried this and look where it got him!
