To riff on Cesca's take here, I'm chiming in on this whole "change" bs meme. If you work in an industry, any industry, and you're looking to start a new company, you get people who have worked in that industry to help you build the new company, no? Doesn't change the mission statement of the industry, it just gives you experienced people!! (I guess he could have seen if there was anyone from the Carter administration still around...) I agree with the Cole of John-
Where, exactly, is Obama supposed to find qualified people with government experience if they did not cut their teeth in the Clinton administration? From the Bush administration?
