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",

Gen. Wesley Clark: Iraqis ‘Not Better Off’ After Troop Surge
Monday, November 03, 2008
By Nicholas Ballasy

(CNSNews.com) – Violence is down in Iraq because of actions taken by Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the U.S. military, but the Iraqi people “are not better off than they were before,” said retired Gen. Wesley Clark in an interview with CNSNews.com following his speech at the U.S.-Arab Policymakers Annual Conference on Thursday.

So, you were saying?

First, Obama has experience.

My biggest problem with Palin was never her lack of experience, though I admit that bothered me initially, just as I didn't support Obama for the nomination due to lack of experience.
