More "change" from Obama

Sources close to the Obama transition team have confirmed that former Senate majority leader Tom Daschle will be the next Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Daschle, a "special public policy adviser" at lobbying firm Alston Bird, is the latest in a long line of appointments that have left voters bemused at the "change" in Washington.

The Obama team have been busy recycling operatives from the Clinton administration. Among the list of corpses brought back from the dead, Rahm Emanuel, the incoming White House chief of staff was a political aide in the Clinton White House, and Greg Craig, incoming White House counsel. was President Clinton's lawyer during his impeachment.

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.
