Is This The Change We've Been Waiting For?

Obama tabs Eric Holder, another Clinton leftover, for Attorney General.  Mac Owens, no Obama partisan, finds little objectionable in what he sees in Obama's foreign policy team (see here and here).  As Owens puts it, "In short, Barack Obama will learn what Bill Clinton and George W. Bush discovered: That is easier to be president when you're not." The evidence so far is that Obama has dumped the "change you can believe in" for "Clinton, Term III."  Indeed, like Clinton and Bush, Obama is now receiving an education about what a responsibility power is.  He seems to be learning fast, which is why the campaign rhetoric is being quickly jettisoned. How Obama's most ardent supporters will take this remains to be seen.  And my interpretation is open to revision should the facts change.
