Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

























The Big O is not happy that people are noting the lack of REAL change in his incoming administration.

"First of all, that's not the topic...", he said when he received a question about it recently.

This is how he defended naming former Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker as the head of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board (ERAB?)...

Obama said Volker, "hasn't been in Washington for quite some time."

Volker, 81, has spent roughly 25 years in the federal government and the last two chairing a Washington based financial advisory body.

The role of ERAB?

...to stop “groupthink” infecting his inner circle of White House financial advisers.

WHAT?

They're not even in their positions yet and they need a babysitter and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Here's the best line Obama delivered...

he would be foolish, at such a “critical time in our history”, to pick people who “had no experience in Washington whatsoever”.

If only voters had thought that way
