It won't be long before Buyers' Remorse will become VERY difficult to control.
Noteworthy:
"Rather than come in and clean house, the President-elect seems to be embracing politics as usual.
The 'insult' added to previous 'injury' came with an announcement over the weekend that Obama's White House will continue the political office that was held by Karl Rove in the Bush White House. During his campaign, of course, Mr. Obama vowed to keep politics out of the White House. He criticized the Bush Administration for its partisanship and accused President Bush of running a 'perpetual campaign.' The Obama Administration, he promised, would end what he called 'politics as usual.'
But he is appointing the usual -- a bevy of inside-the-beltway politicians.
Thus far, there are no new faces and no one who will obviously push for new policies. Eric Holder (nominee for Attorney General) and Rahm Emanuel (Chief of Staff) bring lots of Clinton-era baggage; Tim Gaithner (Treasury Secretary) is part of New York's big-money establishment. Tom Daschle, (HHS Secretary) is welded into the Senate's good ‘ole boy network. Further, Obama helped to protect Joe Lieberman's Senate committee chairmanship even though Lieberman crossed party lines to actively campaign for John McCain. The leftist Bible, The Nation, noted recently that 'not a single, solitary, actual dyed-in-the-wool progressive' has even been mentioned for the Obama Cabinet.
The Far Left contends that Barack should be dancing with the ones that brought him to the White House. Those on the right who treasure our traditional America values of personal responsibility and freedom have far more serious cause for worry.
While Obama is filling top slots of his Administration with politicians from the center, his agenda will be thrust forward by the Schedule C minions in the lower levels of government who will be able to work under the radar to push his far left ideology.
That is the bottom-up strategy that he learned as a community organizer and a strategy that links him with his primary season competitor, Hillary Clinton, who promoted the feminist goals of the Beijing Platform for Action through various task forces set up in the federal agencies following the U.N.'s Beijing World Conference on Women. Both of these leftist politicians have learned to speak the language of the masses while working behind the scenes on the policies of the radical true believers."
