I read an a article and I posted it for a wider read, how you got a message
that I am excited by it is truly beyond me. Just for information, there are
still those of us that read a whole spectrum to get informed on issues before
we make decisions, but we can use our rights as well to post them so that many
can have access to them. I think that is a very fair response to you and I will
leave it at that for now, but remain to wonder why Africans are this aggressive
in fighting for Obama to a speed of shutting all of us up, and limiting what we
can read or post, yet it is the Jews that are getting most of Obama's
appointments, I have yet to see the numbers of African Americans he has
appointed so far. I hope Africans stretch their knowledge into Jewish forums to
see the kind of debates they have on Obama. May be just may be that is why they
deserve those nominations and we simply don't.
Sorry I have a dinner to make.

Mulindwa,
I don't see what is exciting you here.
Trust me the guy is not that stupid as you may think. And anyway, do you
really believe it is practicable for him to come in fresh from nowhere, with a
bunch of team that is equally green?
Oh Dear!
Tokyali mboko. Tambola na mukili.

The Third Clinton Administration
Ralph Nader
Counterpunch
November 22, 2008
While the liberal intelligentsia was swooning over Barack Obama
during his presidential campaign, I counseled "prepare to be disappointed." His
record as a Illinois state and U.S. Senator, together with the many progressive
and long overdue courses of action he opposed during his campaign, rendered
such a prediction unfortunate but obvious.
The signs are amassing that Barack Obama put a political con
job over on the American people. He is now daily buying into the entrenched
military-industrial complex that President Eisenhower warned Americans about in
his farewell address.
Now this same intelligentsia is beginning to howl over Obama's
transition team and early choices to run his Administration. Having defeated
Senator Hillary Clinton in the Democratic Primaries, he now is busily
installing Bill Clinton's old guard. Thirty one out of forty seven people that
he has named so far for transition or appointments have ties to the Clinton
Administration, according to Politico. One Clintonite is quoted in the
Washington Post as saying – "This isn't lightly flavored with Clintons. This is
all Clintons, all the time."
Obama's "foreign policy team is now dominated by the Hawkish,
old-guard Democrats of the 1990," writes Jeremy Scahill. Obama's transition
team reviewing intelligence agencies and recommending appointments is headed by
John Brennan and Jami Miscik, who worked under George Tenet when the CIA was
involved in politicizing intelligence for, among other officials, Secretary of
State Colin Powell's erroneous address before the United Nations calling for
war against Iraq.
Mr. Brennan, as a government official, supported warrantless
wiretapping and extraordinary rendition to torturing countries. National Public
Radio reported that Obama's reversal when he voted for the revised FISA this
year relied on John Brennan's advise.
For more detail on these two advisers and others recruited by Obama
from the dark old days, see Democracy Now, November 17, 2008 and Jeremy
Scahill, AlterNet, Nov. 20, 2008 "This is Change? 20 Hawks, Clintonites and
Neocons to Watch for in Obama's White House."
The top choice as White House chief of staff is Rahm Emanuel—the
ultimate hard-nosed corporate Democrat, military-foreign policy hawk and
Clinton White House promoter of corporate globalization, as in NAFTA and the
World Trade Organization.
Now, recall Obama's words during the bucolic "hope and change"
campaign months: "The American people…understand the real gamble is having the
same old folks doing things over and over and over again and somehow expecting
a different result." Thunderous applause followed these remarks.
"This is more 'Groundhog Day' then a fresh start," asserted Peter
Wehner, a former Bush adviser who is now at the Ethics and Public Policy Center.
The signs are amassing that Barack Obama put a political con job over
on the American people. He is now daily buying into the entrenched
military-industrial complex that President Eisenhower warned Americans about in
his farewell address.
With Robert Rubin on his side during his first photo opportunity
after the election, he signaled to Wall Street that his vote for the $750
billion bailout of those speculators and crooks was no fluke (Rubin was
Clinton's financial deregulation architect in 1999 as Secretary of the Treasury
before he became one of the hugely paid co-directors tanking Citigroup.)
Obama's apologists say that his picks show he wants to get things
done, so he wants people who know their way around Washington. Moreover, they
say, the change comes only from the president who sets the priorities and the
courses of action, not from his subordinates. This explanation assumes that a
president's appointments are not mirror images of the boss's expected
directions but only functionaries to carry out the Obama changes.
If you are inclined to believe this improbable scenario, perhaps you
may wish to review Obama's record compiled by Matt Gonzalez at Counterpunch.
