The most corrupt admin in history
Well, certainly the most corrupt three week old one, anyway. Tom Elia has a HopeyChangey recap:
At the dawn of the Obama Administration we have witnessed: four high-level appointees blow up over various issues, tax and otherwise (Richardson, Daschel, and Killefer get axed; Geitner stays); the appointment of at least 12 lobbyists to positions in the Administration — in direct contradiction of campaign promises; a pork-laden economic stimulus bill without precedent in US history; and the reversal of campaign positions concerning controversial policies like rendition.
The first couple of weeks of the Obama Administration has simply reinforced my stated belief that the Obama campaign and subsequent election represents the biggest, most successful political con of my lifetime.
Indeed. Anyone who thought it was going to be anything else but more socialist business as usual is a dewey-eyed fool. The Obama admin will be exceptional only in the stark brazenness of its speedy grab for more federal power and influence.
