NOT!

Barack Obama, December 27, 2007: "The real gamble in this election is playing the same Washington game with the same Washington players and expecting a different result."

Vice President Biden: First elected to Washington office in 1972.

Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel: Worked on his first congressional campaign in 1980; first presidential campaign in 1984; moved to Washington in 1993. Worked as Clinton staffer for five years; went to the board of Freddie Mac; elected to Congress in 2002.

Expected Secretary of State nominee Hillary Clinton: First came to Washington in 1993. Elected to the U.S. Senate in 2000.

Secretary of Homeland Security nominee Janet Napolitano: Anita Hill's attorney during the 1991 hearings; Clinton appointee to be U.S. Attorney in Arizona in 1993.

Secretary of Health and Human Services nominee Tom Daschle: First elected to Washington office in 1978.

Attorney General nominee Eric Holder: first began working at the Department of Justice in Washington in 1976.


Greg Craig, the incoming White House counsel, began his career at a Washington law firm and started his career inside the Beltway as an aide to Ted Kennedy in 1984.

Peter Orszag, the incoming head of the Office of Management and Budget, worked on Bill Clinton's National Economic Council starting in 1997 and went on to work at the Brookings Institution and the Congressional Budget Office. He is the "fresh face" among the named staffers so far in the sense that he has only been in Washington for about 11 years.




GOOD THING HIS ADMINISTRATION WON'T BE FULL OF OLD SCHOOL PLAYERS!!!

Isn't it though!
Another Obama lie just to get elected..... It is only beginning.

The sad thing is Condy is much more qualified for SOS than Hillary he should have kept her............ He will regret his decision.

His campaign was bring a bunch of inexperienced people no one ever heard of?



You do realize that if he did that you would be here complaining that they don't have enough experience, right?

WRONG!

The only thing I liked about Obama was that he was selling this 'outsider' agent of change angle... I actually believe that we do need fresh faces and real change in Washington.. There is TONS of talent in the private sector and academia.. I wish he would have tapped into some of that instead of bringing Hillary and all her pals back into power...

He sure is doing her a favor and keeping her close enough to pad her resume but distant enough so that she can distance herself from him when the time is right.

Obama is running on fear, certainly not experience. He needs his nannies around him to try to make a go of this fiasco. We will all be caught in the crossfire unfortunately. Unless these "insiders" can keep a tight leash on him and hold the country together til he is gone. Will we last til 2012?

Right! He'd be much better off appointing a bunch of recent college grads and other unexperienced people no one's ever heard of!
