Meet the new boss, same as the old boss

From the AP


President-elect Barack Obama's aides have privately asked senators whether Washington attorney Eric Holder would be confirmed as the next attorney general, according to a person involved in the talks.


The talks suggest that Obama is deeply interested in Holder, who served as the No. 2 official in the Justice Department under President Clinton.


In the past week, Obama aides have asked Senate Republicans whether they would support Holder. In particular, the aides questioned whether Holder's confirmation would be delayed because of his involvement in the 2001 pardon of fugitive Marc Rich by President Bill Clinton.


For all those who thought Obama was a "different kind of politician", seems he's just the same old politico in a new suit...


Yeppers... "Change"... "Hope"...


As The Who put it so well in the song "Won't Get Fooled Again",

You just said Obama wasn't your president did you not?

Yes, like so many thousands of liberals who claimed that President Bush was not their President for the last eight years.

There is NOTHING wrong with being upset that your guy lost, I get it. I truly feel those who didn't vote for Obama will belly ache just as much as those who didn't vote for Bush did. The thing that gets me is that he hasn't even taken office yet. None of us would feel good if people judged us without even giving us a chance.

Well, I'm a liberal who did not vote for George Bush either time (and I didn't vote for his father).

I was not happy when Bush was elected the first time.
