Sorry, I meant George HW Bush policies. Obviously, Obama is not going to repeat the crude and ineffective tactics of Dubya.
Obama nominated over Clinton in the primary by a resounding margin with a clear mandate from the voters to change the policies of the Clinton Admin.
Example #1 of the bait & switch:
washingtonpost.com
" ... As noted, any person is entitled to make a mistake. But no one is entitled to be attorney general. That's a post that ought to be reserved for a lawyer who appreciates that while he reports to the president, he serves the people. This dual obligation was beyond the ken of George W. Bush's attorney general once removed, Alberto Gonzales, whose idea of telling truth to power came down to saying "Yes, sir. Yes, sir." On Guantanamo, domestic spying and Bush's "l'État c'est moi" view of the presidency, Gonzales was a cipher, and the damage of his tenure still needs to be repaired.
Holder was involved, passively or not, in just the sort of inside-the-Beltway influence peddling that Barack Obama was elected to end ..."
Even consummate DC insider Richard Cohen is astonished at how completely Obama has shafted his voters.
