The ObaHillary morph: Recycling you can believe in

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 18, 2008 10:49 PM

Back in March, The New Republic lamented that Democrats could only choose one: Clinton or Obama. How wrong they were.

The Obama inner circle now includes:

Clintonite Rahm Emanuel as Obama chief of staff…

Clintonite Deputy AG Eric Holder as rumored Obama AG…

Clintonite lawyer Greg Craig as Obama chief counsel…

Clintonite chief of staff John Podesta as Obama Transition Team leader…

Bill and Hillary Clinton’s entire economic team

And maybe — a remote maybe — even Hillary herself.

Next thing you know, Michelle Obama’s gonna start wearing those headbands…

    going back 8 years was the change the Zero was referring to? Biggest problem with those crooks is now there is no conservative Congress to keep ‘em in check…you know the conservative congress that many went left or crooked themselves.
    It scares me the damage these elitist dolts will bring to this once great country. Who was it ‘30 pieces’ on another thread today, reminded us tomorrow is ‘ammunition day’, getting “oo” buck and 357 ammo myself.

    We have a burgeoning plutocracy ruled by two dynasties… The Bush dynasty and the Clinton dynasty. Obama, apparently, is a eunuch.

    Still. This doesn’t look radically left-wing to me, yet. Maybe my senses are just dulled to this because the Clinton campaign was rather mollified by Gingrich and the Contract with America… but, I’m starting to wonder if the right-wing pundits have exaggerated Obama’s leftism. Maybe that’s what I’m SUPPOSED to be thinking :-D

    Holy crap! I thought we were rid of these ridiculous Clintons. Like a dirty stain down deep in the carpet, they eventually work their way back up to the top.

    At least it’s only for four years. Sarah better do her homework in the next four years. Or maybe Jindal/Palin in 2012.

    Just hope we get some damn leadership with backbone back into the political conservatism.

    That cover looks like an Obama limp-wrist.

    The internet bubble was created under Bubba Clinton.

    It also BLEW UP under Clinton in April of 2000.

    That’s right… April 2000… under Clinton’s watch.

    There has to be a nice plum assignment in the works for Jamie Gorelick. Her fingerprints were all over the Janet Reno Justice Department’s evil deeds, as well as her being a major player in Fannie/Freddie’s meltdowns. She literally made out like a bandit with her Fannie Mae ill-gotten gains. And, let’s not forget her high visibility on that dog-and-pony-show known as the “9/11 Commission.” I cannot wait to find out what Federal Agency/branch of government she plans to RUIN next!! Hmmm…Maybe a SCOTUS nomination???
