What’s with Obama’s choice of old-time Clinton cronies and recycled Washington insiders to run the transition to his new politics of change?
Can’t the anti-Washington insiders President-elect find anyone who isn’t a Beltway has-been?
Judging by the appointments to his transition committee and leaks about possible top staff and Cabinet choices, Obama appears to be practicing the politics of status quo, not the politics of change.
Kerry, Powell, etc.

That's the CHANGE WE NEED.

Aisle?

Again, was I sleeping? Did he already pick all of his cabinet members?

Here is the transition team so far - I only see two references to Pres. Clinton's administration.

In a way, I agree, because politics is generally just politics as usual. Each segment wanting to get their side supported (lobbyist, corporations, regions of the country, political parties, etc...). I don't personally expect who is President to affect my life significantly, or at least I hope it doesn't. My own hard work determines how my life will be.
