How Will Obama Build His Administration?

With so much focus being placed on the historical implications of Obama's ethnicity, I think an entirely different (if not as sexy) aspect of this election is being missed. We're finally hiring a Chief Executive who THINKS like an executive. Like him or not, this guy is smart and knows enough NOT to surround himself with a bunch of crony incompetents. I think the naysayers are in for a serious shock. This dude is gonna rock.

If you take a look back at history we did a whole lot better in the Clinton years. I dont know what the complaining is about but if Obama can surround himself with successful people who also want to achieve what he wants to acheive "Change" then I dont see what the problem is with picking experienced people even if they are from a past administration.

And you would like to be taken seriously?
Or should I say "seeryusly"?
I'm embarrassed for you...

Well dear Robert:
In my opinion I think the Clinton cabnit was one of the best cabnit ever the USA could have in years.

I can see it now. After all the dust settles and excitement disapates, change for better is not coming to America. Enough "change" to win the race, no change in selecting post-clinton-bush cabnit members. Just as GWB picked from GHB's circle, Obama is picking from the Clinton pool. So much for the change. It won't take long now before America wakes up to the Clinton cabnit packaged in Obama brand.
