A contiuation of the same "failed" policies

[southpaw]

Seems that Obama likes the same failed policies of GWB. He won't go after the tax cuts for the rich and he'll keep borrowing and spending money in the trillions. He hasn't even been sworn in and he's already spent more than Bush did in 8 years! Talk about change we can believe in!

Heck I read today that one of his key economic advisers is a supply-sider! Blasphemy for a liberal to have a supply sider in the innercircle!

And the Cabinet....Okay, Eric Holder, attorney general, supported pardoning terrorists and Marc Rich. Obama chooses associates of Robert Rubin who was on the board of Citigroup, which would be broke but for tens of billions in taxpayer subsidies just made to it -- and he walked out of there in 1998 with $107 million in consulting fees while he's on the board taking it down the tubes. He chooses Bill Richardson, who, as energy secretary, who helped create the energy crisis. He chooses Hillary. He chooses Hillary as secretary of state. It was Hillary who exchanged spit with Yasser Arafat's wife some years ago. Remember how that angered the Jewish community? The media won't point any of this out because they want you to believe it's a great cabinet Obama is putting together, but it's retrograde. Richardson's nomination could be haunted by two incidents: First, he offered Lewinsky a job at the United Nations in what prosecutors called an attempt to buy her silence on behalf of President Bill Clinton, Richardson also could face a Capitol grilling for accusations he faced from both Democratic and Republican senators for failing to properly safeguard nuclear secrets after he left his U.N. post to become energy secretary. After delaying Richardson's appearance before the Senate Armed Services Committee in 2000 for inquiries into security lapses at Los Alamos National Laboratories, Democratic Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia told him he would never again receive Senate support for any office he sought: "You have squandered your treasure," Byrd told him. And though Napolitano, who was re-elected Arizona's governor in 2006, has spent all of her political career in that state, she is no stranger to Washington controversy. As a private attorney in Phoenix in 1991, Napolitano was part of the legal team representing Anita Hill, a former Equal Employment Opportunity Commission colleague of Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas, whom Hill had accused of sexual harassment. Her work on that case postponed Napolitano's own Senate confirmation as U.S. attorney but did not derail Thomas' confirmation as a Supreme Court justice. At the time, some suggested she ‘coached’ a witness for Hill into changing testimony. Napolitano refused to answer questions about that on grounds it would violate the lawyer-client confidentiality agreement. She was the Clinton-appointed U.S. attorney for Arizona when the Justice Department decided against prosecuting Sen. John McCain's wife, Cindy, for stealing prescription drugs from her medical charity, but she took no part in that case because she was awaiting Senate confirmation, on which McCain was to vote.
