Interesting remarks. Your "same as the old boss" comment would be true no matter who the new
Pres. would be. Political realities at this level will override the ideology of even the most ridiculous of zealots
once they understand that the world is not a static set of assumptions.
The danger with Obama is that he's a
completely unknown entity based on an unaccomplished past. If you consider his campaign rhetoric he's an
unthinking panderer at worst, or a skillfully shifting "finger in the wind" politician at best. He's shown the
qualities of both, but not much else. His much vaunted intellect is not in evidence, indeed, he seems to be
robotically setting up the next Clinton/Bush admistration, if that makes any sense, and I don't see anything good
coming from anywhere.
He's going to have a big problem with someone qualified willing to accept CIA. He
burned those bridges with Holder as Attorney General. Maybe Powell, but its a glaring hole in Obama's Nat'l
Security admin, for good reason, and there must be some soul searching going on in some quarters.
One big danger
lies in the Obama/Reid/Pilosi triumvirate. In this scenario, one could even picture Obama being a moderating
influence on Congress within a brotherhood of thieves. One can only hope, but its not me.
An interesting
aspect of all this is the press. If anything, they deplore being proven wrong, and their selling their souls to
Obama may turn ugly if things don't improve. At least that would be entertaining while eating beans and rice.
