People are just looking for a reason to criticize this man. Obama's mission is to get this country back on the right track and that mean by any means necessary. Please stop acting if this country is not in a horrible fix and it's going to take a lot to get us out of this mess. It is amazing how some of you idiots are blaming Obama more than Bush and his failed administration.

You must have some people with knowledge of Washington, everybody can't be new. Having said that, the Clinton years for the most part was successful and it is nothing wrong with using what worked and leaving the rest. Even though some of the faces and names will be familiar, there is no question that Obama and Clinton are 2 different kind of leaders and will govern differently and will lead their team differently. Obama is on the right track, do start listening to all the negatives before he even has a chance to prove himself. Obama will do just fine if everybody will just stay in their own lane!

The net result is that when the bubble finally burst (like NOW) it is much worse than it would have been otherwise. Even Alan Greenspan (reappointed chairman of the Fed by Clinton) now admits it was a mistake. In other words, we are all paying now for clinton's economic success. So idead, why would we want the people responsible from the Clinton administration back? Of course, I do hope they bring back Monica Lewinsky. Great entertainment value.

Obama is offsetting his "inexperience" with experienced insiders who can help bring about his agenda. Obama is fortunate that, with all the Republican rhetoric about "if you elect him he's gonna do xxx and yyy," the public surely knew what they were getting when the majority voted him in and increased Dem numbers in Congress.

He never said that he was going to fill offices with novices that have no experience. I thought that's what you people were criticizing him for. Not having enough experience.

"Change" does not mean "inexperience" or "incompetence", which might be the case if Biden had selected a "fresh young face". In fact, the only way Obama is going to get change to occur in the entrenched political system in Washington is to select the most competent, tough, experienced, honest people he can that agree with his principles- Emmanuel and Ron Klain are both excellent examples of such professionals.The White House is no place for amateurs, as previous presidents have found out the hard way.
