OBAMA KEEPS BUSH WAR TEAM"

The Obama campaign line about electing Sen. John McCain would mean four more years of the Bush Administration is getting more foolish everyday. After retaining President Bush Defense Secretary Robert Gates we now learn that President-Elect Obama is willing to keep all of President Bush appointees at the Pentagon Bill Gertz reports in his column. Defenses Secretary Gates has asked most of the Bush Administration appointees except those targeted for dismissal to stay on until President-Elect Obama replaces there position. Robert Gates received permission from the Obama Transition team to extend the number of appointees a invitation to stay on until there current position is replaced. Mr. gates said in e-mail on December 19. The chance to stay is available to all willing appointees with the exception of those who who are contacted individually and told otherwise... Geoff Morrel Pentagon Press secertary, confirmed that the Secretary Gates wants to retain most of the Bush political appointees. He said the policy of keeping so, many political appointees is unusual for a transition from a Republican to a Democratic Administration. Finally, to all the liberals who hated the Bush War Machine now "That Is Change We All Can Believe In".

OBAMA "ELITIST CABINET"

President-Elect Obama used the word "Change" to get elected President Of The United States, but the only thing that he, has changed so far is bringing in his Ivy League elitist Friends to Washington to help him make policy for this country. President- Elect Obama is going back to the same well of academics that got us into this economic crisis. The same Ivy League graduates who are the so, called best and brightest gave us the "Dot.Com bubble and Housing Crisis" that has put this country on the brink of a depression. President-Elect Obama did not go outside the box and get some average Americans who are successful and did not go to Ivy League Schools. I know that he, appointed a couple of people who graduated from the University Of Chicago, Georgetown and Michigan but, most of his appointees have no idea how the rest of America lives. This why Conservatives rail against Ivy league academics because, they resent the rest of Americas family values and the consider them to be the past not the future. President-Elect Obama has to understand that going to these Ivy League Schools does not mean that you are always going to get the best advice. President Kennedy used the same Methodology and we got the Vietnam war from the best and the brightest. These Ivy League appointees have a different agenda and that is they want to change America into a secular progressive country. This should not be the goal of the Obama administration. Finally, I don't know if President-Elect Obama is correct in hiring his Ivy League friends but, it would have been nice to see some college graduates from State Universities that would have had hands on experience with average Americans struggles in there daily lives.
