The Clinton era, Mark two.
January 21, 2009 by sovereignjohn
Barack Obama ran his campaign on the promise of bringing “change” to
Washington. Change, my ass.
Obama then appointed Clinton to be his secretary of state, and set about
doing what Clinton would do if Hillary had won the presidency
— immediately restore a Clinton presidency to Washington.
Virtually every major position in the Obama administration is a figure
associated with the 1990s Clinton White House. Most all are longtime
‘Inside-the-Beltway’ types.
Rahm Emanuel, often called Clinton’s consigliore, will be Obama’s White
House chief of staff. Bill Richardson, Clinton’s UN ambassador and energy
secretary, is commerce secretary.
Clinton Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers will head Obama’s
National Economic Council. Clinton lawyer and justice department official
Eric Holder was Obama’s choice for attorney general.
And the list goes on.
