Familiar Faces, by Jennifer Rubin – 11.19.2008 – 8:07 AM
* Hillary Clinton, John Podesta, Rahm Emanuel, Eric Holder, Mona Sutphen, and Greg Craig, to name just a few. What is this, a Clinton class reunion? I get that the Obama team needs experience. I get that some of these people are moderates and pragmatists, which is good if you want to keep the country from going over a cliff. And as far as Secretray of State goes, most of the other mentioned alternatives are far, far worse than Hillary. *** That would be alright, I suppose if the President-elect had not built his entire campaign on the premise that we had to throw the rascals out. *** With his vaunted creativity and renowned people skills, I am sure Obama can attract quality personnel from outside of the Bill Clinton yearbook. *
Or can he?
