So far, it looks like all the Clinton administration players are coming back; so the only real change will be the huge shift left of the Clintons.

This new administration is looking like it's going to make America as we know it, unrecognizable.

Forcing high school students to do 50 hours of community service per year, and college students 100 hours?

Isn't that "involuntary servitude?

This clown is going to keep the courts tied up with challenges to his policies.

An now we read he plans to use "executive orders" for an immediate impact. Sounds a little like a dictatorship.

Bill Clinton was a great president. All future presidents should strive to be like him.

If thats the 'change' I voted for, then I'm pretty happy.

PS: If Obama is filling his ranks with Clintonistas, then how can that signify a change "Left of Clinton"? That makes absolutely no sense.

Executive Orders Issued by President George W. Bush (http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/orders/ - broken link)

What's your point again?

Sure McCain would have been a retread of Bushies and we have a significant change from that to former Clinton administrators. What were you expecting a bus driver for Secretary or the Treasury or someone with experience?

Obama supporters heard and understood what he meant by change. McCain supporters read a right wing blog that defined Obama for them and now they are surprised that what they were told isn't accurate as if that was the doing of President Elect Obama.

If you don't like it, then you shouldn't have lost the election.
