Obama's Inner Circle

Submitted by Joel Peterson, Feb 21, 2008 09:17

Am I the only one who finds it odd that five of the nine people currently on Obama's advisory staff used to work for President Clinton? Obama has said a lot about change and the need for a new way of doing business in Washington. He has said that Hillary Clinton will no different than those who have gone before her. As our president, he will be the change Washington needs. Change, change, change, change, change. And yet...! He has five advisors on his staff who worked for President Clinton in the past? How is that a change...? It strikes me as more of the same, not a new way of doing business in Washington. What am I missing?
