Liberalism: Act IV

Let's review: So far, Obama has called forth from the political graveyard of the 1990's such retreads as Hillary Clinton, Tom Daschle and Eric Holder for prominent roles in his administration. (Lest we forget, the sempiternal liberal Joe Biden is his VP.) And it looks like he's just getting warmed up. By doing so, Obama confirms what conservatives had been loudly proclaiming from the rooftops prior to the election that, beneath the thin veneer of garish rhetoric and talk of "change," Obama represents a mere repackaging of tried-and-failed, stifling liberalism. He will not set out on a new course but will simply follow the policies of archliberals like FDR, LBJ and Bill Clinton.
