The More Things Change

Why does Barack Obama’s “change” seem eerily like more of the same?

All I’m seeing is a bunch of old Washington insiders getting promotions and new job titles.

• Senator Joe Biden becomes Vice President.
• Former White House Chief of Staff John Podesta leads Obama’s transition team.
• Senator Tom Daschle, former voice of partisan divisiveness will be Secretary of Health and Human Services.
• Senator Clinton will become the Secretary of State.
• Former Clinton advisor Eric Holder is the pick for Attorney General.
• Heck, Obama even seems to be forming some sort of alliance with Senator McCain, who just a few weeks ago, was branded as a George Bush clone and an enemy of change.

You’re seeing the beginning folks… The beginning of more of the same. More business as usual in Washington. I was honestly hoping that I was wrong in my previous opinions – because I’d rather be wrong than live with the consequences of being right.

The Obama illusion is slowly wearing off. The mirrors are being put back into storage and the smoke is clearing.

It’s sad how many people bought into the Obama show – hook, line, and sinker.
