It's becoming clear that the 'change' is not in personnel but in a new form of 'triangulation'. Basically what Bill Clinton did to the Democrats on economic issues Barack Obama wants to do for social issues- reach out to the religious conservatives, etc. etc. Pretty much what I suspected all along. But the extent of the Clintonite infiltration does surprise me a little bit.

"Change" meant putting in competent, experienced people who believe in government to replace the cronyism and nepotism of the last eight years.  We have a Nobel Prize Laureate as our new Energy Secretary!  This is one of the most impressive teams in American history.  It's a huge change from a team that tried to put the President's lawyer on the Supreme Court and put a blundering bombastic buffoon in Defense for six years.



So in essence it was a change from the Bush years back to the Clinton years....that still doesn't answer why Obama was any better of a "change" candidate than Hillary during the primaries.

Because Obama was obviously better qualified to sell that "change" message.

Obama was better qualified to sell a "change" back to the competent Clinton years?
