About that "change"
"Change" can mean many things; apparently, even same old, same old.
I have to wonder, "Did Americans get fooled?"...

"As president-elect, Barack Obama faced a dilemma. Too many times to count during the campaign, he promised voters change. We've had it with the old Washington ways, he said. It's time for something different.
But now that he's the incoming president and has to fill about 3,000 of the top jobs in the executive branch, to whom is he looking? To experienced Democratic hands. And what was the last administration in which Democrats got experience running the executive branch? Well, of course.
That's how you get Bill Clinton's old White House chief of staff (John Podesta) as the new transition chief. And you get Clinton's old senior adviser (Rahm Emanuel) as the new White House chief of staff.
And you get Clinton's old impeachment lawyer (Greg Craig) as the new White House counsel. And you get Clinton's old deputy attorney general (Eric Holder) as the new attorney general."
