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.
