Yeah, he should have gone with all those guys from the Bush years who got us into this mess! Of he could have picked a bunch of inexperienced people who can learn on the job at a time when our country is in one of the worst economic crisis and worst international relationships in our history cuz we have so much time to figure this all out? This comparison of how he is trying to hit the ground running with people who already know their way around with the abstract idea of "change" is a confusion of logical levels. The people he is putting in place will be throwing ideas at him from the position of having been there and having done that before. The changes he can implement with a crew like this will avoid at least some of the untested mistakes of inexperienced people. And if the worst thing that happens is that we return to the economic condition of our country during the Clinton years, and our status with other countries of the world... would that really be sooooo bad? > > Read more: > > 'FDR's New Deal Team vs. Obama's Braniacs' > by Paul Rosenberg > Open Left, Sun Dec 07, 2008 > http://tinyurl.com/5quuws >
