Looks to be a competent group. Can Hillary take orders from Obama?

Considering Hillary wears the pants in the Clinton House, then the answer is no.

No responses?
I was waiting for someone to start a thread earlier.
I guess the haters are tired of hating.

Kudlow loved the picks. It's an impresive start. GG will have some detailed list pretty soon on how terrible it was though.

I thought Rumsfeld,Powell and Rice were a solid group also...we will see.

That, or they're fleeing the country.

Washington insiders. Where's the change?

Didn't you know that the "Change" was just a ploy to get the simple minded to vote for him? He hasn't shown me anything any different than any other crappy politician.

So if there's no change does that mean there's no hope either?

That is correct, all citizens report to your reeducation centers

Does that mean he can't walk on water either?

Fully agree...

I voted McCain, but said I'm not upset Obama won. I'm still not upset, but he certainly hasn't followed up on his promises of getting rid of the old guard.

It's better that he is surrounding himself with people with, no matter how small, a clue, rather than the "change" he promised. His campaign slogan could have been an honest "business as usual" as his voters have shown the substance hasn't mattered to them.

Most of the folks I've heard of seem competent - much more so than the early Clinton team.

However, when I've heard Larry Summers quoted as saying something to the effect that the Bush tax cuts amounted to redistribution of wealth ... I'm very scared, and none of the rest matters. I'm not in a tax bracket that is in the sights of the left and wouldn't benefit much from most tax breaks anyways. But, the language belies an interventionist agenda.

There will be no change. We got the Clinton's back in power. Plain and simple, Hillary is readying for 2012, With Slick Willie in the wings, we may be in for -8-12-16 years of a Clinton power play. Obama is not as smart as people think. Everything that he ran on was smoke and mirrors. It was the shell game of the Washington insiders. Think your money is safe.... No more than Poland was when Hitler invaded.

Well...I fully welcome a Clinton administration if they can reverse that last 4 years of income loss I have endured. I will be happy to see the Bush years end. What this administration has done to our economy is almost treasonous...I'd personally like to kick his ass.

You will have to go back a few administrations to get that job done.

Gerald Ford - Pardoned Nixon and committed political suicide.

Carter - Let the Shaw fall, failed the hostage rescue.

Regan - Bailed out the S&L, Fired the ATCs. Least we forget Iran-Contra.

George Bush - Failed to finish Saddam off in the 1st Gulf war.

Clinton gave Al-Qaeda a pass. Marine Barracks, Cole, WTC, ect. Too busy getting blown in the Oval Office. Lied under oath. Impeached in the House, put on Trial in the Senate. Al Gore cast the tie break vote to allow him to stay in office. Political Suicide for Gore, should have paid attention to Gerald Ford.

Bush II - Fought a prolonged war in Iraq against our enemy Al-Qaeda.

Do you even remotely know what you're talking about?

There was no need for Gore to cast a vote, not that Gore was presiding anyway (it was Chief Justice Rehnquist), because to convict in the Senate requires a two-thirds majority (which was 50-50 for obstruction of justice, 45-55 for perjury). How they came to such a ridiculous conclusion escapes me, but there is no need to rewrite history, especially since it was only 10 years ago.

I stand corrected, on the Al Gore tie breaker.
But for lying under oath Bill Clinton lost his Law License. Everyone knows he should have been convicted in the Senate.
Just goes to show you how above the law they are.

Obama now says he isn't going to raise the taxes on oil companies because the price of oil dropped below $80/barrel. Hilarious, it has been under $80 for 4 months, and the last 2 months he continued to tell everyone he was going to raise the taxes on the oil companies.

Not that I thought they should have had their taxes raised, but just more promises broken.
