He is turning the page alright, turning it backwards. surrounding himself with the same old washington, some so old they are falling out making their speaches. Where's the new blood, Obama was talking about. Starting from the bottom up. He sure blew that. All Obama fans are the biggest SUCKERS, I've ever seen. And comparing him to Lincoln, give me a break, Lets see in 4 years who we compare him too. Obama was for change, where's the change.

With the Clinton's penchant for drama, my fear is that with Clinton's foreign money making activities curtailed because Hillary is SoS, Bill might get bored and start paying attention to other women. If that happens, the Democrats should forget 2010 and 2012. I really don’t think this is a wise choice, simply because unlike McCain, Hillary has difficulty being led and being a team player.

After 8 years of a rogue government and incompetence, won't it be great for our people and our national and international goals to finally have people in charge who know what they are doing, and who are actually strong and wise enough to ask questions? Thank goodness government by "Bobble-Head" will soon be over. Obama will be the President, and will not oly set policy but will also get advice on the best policies. He's actually going to listen to others and not rule by "my way or the highway." His cabinet and his appointees will enact his policies of change. Let's all take a deep breath and see how this plays out. There are still many positions to be filled. So far, I think President-Elect Obama is doing a great job. BTW, Hillary is a great choice for Secretary of State. Why do so many of you think that change can only occur with all new people in positions of national power?

I'm sure you would have preferred 4 more years of "...All Bushed UP" You people have had your heads buried in Rush's behind entirely too long. Go to school, get an education, try critical thinking for a change.

After you get your diploma, you'll then appreciate the intelligence of the Pres Elect. In the meantime, back away from the computer...you'll hurt yourself LMAO

Pres. Clinton knew how to reach across the aisle. the beginning was rough (with health care), but he was a smart man that surronded himself with a lot of very smart people; so president-elect Obama is using some of these very people in his cabinet... God bless him; the last thing we need is a huge learning curve when this economy is in the toilet. perhaps the second half of his administration he can tap newer blood; but so far I believe he is just being smart and showing the world he is serious about the issues ahead. so all of you that want to dismiss him; remember he will be our president and he undertands that history will judge him in the end. May God Bless him and May we all do our part of lift this country back up. Rise America Rise!

In retrospect, appointing Hillary as SOS means that if she accepts this position, she will have to give it her all if she has any desire to run for the Presidency. Obama is smart enough to know this and has probably made a very strategic appointment. If she does a good job, it will enhance Obama for reelection in 2012 and if she fails she will cement the fact that she will never win in 2012 or 2016. Smart move President elect Obama!

I agree with Abyssinian Lion that Richardson, Hagel and Rice would also be great additions to his government. Some people complain, however, that this is not change. I never expected the President-elect to put political newbies in positions of power. We've already seen how that can lead to disaster. Change comes with a fresh take on policy. President Obama himself is the essence of that change.

Second, no matter what anyone thinks of her, she has been a surprisingly consistent supporter of our troops. Third, State Secretaries who act independently don't last long, so she will be a team player whether she want to or not. Finally, having her in a high-profile job will force Bill to behave himself and watch what he says and does (at least that's the theory). Obama sounds like a bit of a chess player.
