Change

Oh, the idiocy.

Today Barack Obama was confronted directly by Ed Henry of CNN on the promise of 'change'. How could that be true, Henry said, when so many of Obama's stated and rumored apointees had ties to the Clinton administration?

This should be simple. People wanted change from George W. Bush. Not from Clinton...or Reagan...or Rutherford B. Hayes. The fact that every cable airhead is talking from this same speaking point proves the idiocy. The only way it could be defended is to conflate the performance Bush II with Clinton. In other words, both administrations were equally flawed, so none of those who contributed to them should ever be allowed back at the levers of power.

If there is any journalist...no matter how inexperienced or dense...who believes that to be the case, they should turn in their final expense report and move on to a profession more to their suiting.
