The old adage of “the more things change the more things stay the same” has never been truer in America. We have a President elect who just 1 year ago came out with a strong conviction about how the days of lobbyists setting the agenda being over. I found this interesting when last weekend I read this New York Times article concerning the transition team for our future Fuhrer. The article begins by stating that President Elect Obama has set stricter conflict of interest policies than any other president in history but goes on to identify that “Among the full roster of about 150 staff members being assigned to government  agencies between now and Inauguration Day at dozens of former lobbyists and some who were registered as recently as this year. Many more are executives and partners at firms that pay lobbyists, and former government officials who work as consultants or advisers to those seeking influence.”

Add these appointees with the recently appointed Clinton and the other suggested liberal dream team (movie reference not sports reference), and you have me sold on the idea that the only change to come out of this election cycle will be those of long term negative linear trend of political missteps propagated by the left.

Russia learned a hard lesson at the hands of their “practicing intellectuals” and I can only Hope that we won’t have to learn the same painful lessons from the Change promised by the Obama administration.
