When the campaign began two years ago there were rumors in the gossip circles in D.C. that the nominees would be Obama and Hillary----that it Was a done deal. IMHO: After the Obama campaign and supporters tore Hillary apart viciously in the Primary Campaign, it became obvious that Obama and Hillary could not run together. Not a winning ticket. With the Clintons and the Hillary camp licking their wounds, the extreme left of the Democrat Party----Obama's Progressive Party------knew that to win they needed that 30% of the Democrat Party to win----so what could they do? Biden and dealing with the Clintons, jmho. The result of this is what you see now Did Obama and his supporters naively think that the Clintonites would let go of the major appointments? Former Clinton or past appointees who are in Obama's Cabinet include: Rahm Emmanuel, chief of staff Hillary Clinton, secretary of state Paul Volker, former chairman of the Federal Reserve Ron Klain, Biden's chief of staff Larry Summers, senior economic adviser (mentor to Timothy Geithner) Timothy Geithner, secretary of treasury Bill Richardson, secretary of commerce John Podesta, transition chief Eric Holder, former deputy attorney general Tom Daschle, former Democratic leader in the U.S. Senate, secretary of health and human services David Axelrod, chief strategist Gene Sperling, economic adviser Neera Tanden, policy director As Professor McCoy wrote: Symposium: Barackracy hypocrisy December 03, 2008 Ellis Washington worldnetdaily.com While I have heard McCain state many times, "I am not George Bush," I have never heard Obama say once, "I am not Bill Clinton." ~ Professor Leonard McCoy, Savannah State University McCoy: Obama talked about change from the bottom up, but when you look at what Obama is doing, the change is from the top down. There seems to be something very sinister here. "Change we can believe in" was a major political slogan of Obama. Is this Barackracy hypocrisy? Who is making the decisions of his campaign?
