President-elect talking out of both sides again

Friday, December 5, 2008 11:56 PM EST

Here we go again - same old politics as usual with an administration that campaigned on making change.
This president is talking out of both sides of his mouth. One side is saying “change,” the other is filling high level government positions with uninteresting “same old, same old” politicians. The biggest offender being Hillary Clinton for secretary of state.

While on the campaign trail Barack Obama was quoted as saying, “When it comes to hiring people in my administration, the litmus test that will apply will not be based on party or ideology or who's traded the most favors, but on qualifications and experience. We're going to have experienced, competent people in the White House.”

Barack Obama had this to say about Hillary's qualifications and experience. “What exactly is her foreign policy experience? Was she negotiating treaties? Was she handling crises? The answer is no.”

I'm going to go get a cup of tea now and contemplate how gullible the left really is.

" CVN comes out of the bushes after the bitter defeat his party took. He lobs an attack and hopefully disappears again licking his wounds after getting his backside whipped like a government mule. You are courageous to show your face after taking the beating of your life. CVN the comeback kid. Coming back for more beatings. "

" Instead of wasting time whining about the new president about to come in, why not just wait & see what he does. It can't get any worse than it already is. Bush's legacy will be that he totally ruined the manufacturing sector for the livelyhood of millions of families, and left the country in an economic shambles, and strife in a useless war. But of course, he will just walk away, and enjoy his new house he just bought in Dallas, living off the big pension he ends up with, oblivious to the common folks' problems. Meanwhile, 1000's of families will be losing their homes because of his & his father's twisted approach to what was important to America, namely corporate greed. If McCain was elected, we would have been in for more of the same. Do I paint an accruate picture, or do I exaggerate? "
