Why are people complaining about Obama electing some Clinton officials?

[Saucy]

I am confused as to why people believe it will be the Clinton administration all over again when it is far from being that. First Obama is simply not Clinton. Secondly, it is quite difficult I am sure to find people who would be qualified for some of the toughest positions in this country that did not work for the Bush or Clinton administration. They have been readily in office for the past 20 years or so. I am not saying its impossible but I do say that it is smart to find and tap the talent that you hope and expect great things from. Is this wrong? Thoughts?

Change does happen from the ground up meaning that however is in office will feel the strain. But it also will come from Obama and that will make a big difference as well. One cannot hope to make a situation better with just new people, change and the idea of it happeneing goes way beyond that.

Because Clinton was the first black President. And Obama is the first black Clinton.

Because the Clintons were crooks. Most of their staff were crooks. And now, the staff of our new President-Elect will be composed of the same old crooks that were there before.

Hey...maybe they will bring back some of the stuff they stole when the left the last time!

He promised change but now he is offering more of the same old crap.

You are correct. Most newly-elected presidents need advisers from previous administrations from within their own parties. It is wise for Obama to reach out to the previous Democratic administration in order to create a smooth transition and to help develop a Cabinet that is comprised of people with the expertise and who understand the bureaucracy in Washington.

Yes this is wrong. If Obama preached over and over again that he wants change, then why is he picking people like the Clinton's? If he was honest about change, he would be picking Washington outsiders for starters, not the Clinton's. I see now, that Obama is not about change except change from one party to another. That is NOT why he was elected. People wanted REAL change.
