How green is Obama’s new limo?

Reports that the new Obama Presidential limo will be based on the GMC 2500, a gas guzzler which does less than 10 miles per gallon, and not the similar, yet hybrid, Ford Mercury Mariner, might be worrying for ecomentalists that backed Senator Obama in the recent Presidential election.

But there has been some evidence of Obama’s green credentials in recent days, with Mr Obama recycling Brent Scowcroft, a foreign policy advisor to the first President Bush.

More evidence of “the same old policies” is provided by the appointment of Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano, a supporter of the Iraq war, to run the Homeland Security department, and General James Jones, who backed John McCain, as his National Security Adviser. George W Bush's Defence Secretary, Robert Gates is also likely to be retained.

Change has come to America.

Hillary Clinton in Obama's cabinet?

There is news emanating from the Obama camp that they are seriously considering offering Hillary Clinton a Cabinet post.

What a slap in the face that would be for voters who supported Obama. They voted for change, and are going to be offered Hillary Clinton.

At least Barak Obama has made a start on another of his campaign pledges. He is so environmentally friendly that he is even recycling failed politicians from the 1990s.
