See what I did there?  I answered the trivia question without spoiling it for anyone that didn't know for sure.  I DEMAND credit for the correct answer.  [:P]

Anyone get a count of how much "change" there is? Seems about 50% used Clinton appointees and 50% insiders from other places.

Anyone that pays attention knows that I have not been ragging on Obama.  But CHANGE and Biden was the first alarm bell.  If you missed the smaller ones Clinton was a big one.  I might just not be paying attention or the old guard stands out to me... but it seems there is very little actual change.

I'm not even saying that Clinton, Biden, or anyone else was a bad appointment (I reserve the right) - just that it isn't exactly "change" on the grand scale he advertised.  Though, such a drastic measure (actually bringing in a lot of new blood) would have it's own set of problems.



Technically, its still a change from the current administration.

Sorry RM, CF wins, even if he keeps saying the second letter in my name is a Q.

He did beat me by 97 seconds. Go ahead, give him the money.

That's the beauty of a "change" platform.  It is what you want it to be.   And after the last 8 years, pretty much everyone seems to think something has to be done differently (except for, apparently, Guido).

That's why I've never supported change for the sake of change. No matter how bad something is screwed up, it can always be screwed up worse. I've done it plenty of times.

When you review history, "change" for the sake of change usually leads to devastation and atrocity.

I can think of several examples but I don't want to get "Godwined".

I think the "change" is going from an administration defined by total incompetance and cynicism to one of competance and possibility.

My favorite change: a Commander-in-Chief with a command of subject-verb agreement!  Wooo-hoo!

Change is sure coming my way. If Obama gets his  tax policy passed, I see even more of my "wealth being spread around."
