As Obama continues making public his choices for his cabinet more evidence mounts that his version of change is just more of the same. One of his first announcements was Rahm Emanuel for his Chief of Staff. Many have criticized this decision as a partisan move. Other establishment choices followed, including the recent choice of Timothy Geithner for Treasury Secretary. Welcome to change Obama style. In other words, welcome to Bush 2.0.

Who said the following?

…the economic crisis facing the country is “an opportunity to do things you could not do before. You never want a serious crisis to go to waste…”

These are the scary words from incoming Obama Chief of Staff Emanuel. I thought Democrats were against such talk after the accusations George Bush received after “using” the 9/11 crisis to remove more and more of our civil liberties in the years since. I suppose we will find out what Emmanuel meant by those words in the years to come. I’m worried, aren’t you?

Apparently, those Democrats castigating Bush for politicizing the 9/11 attacks are the fairest of fair weather fans. They cry foul not based on principle but based upon which team is swinging the bat.
