Going back to the Clinton presidency, and bringing on all the econmic warhorses that are responsible for the present deregulatory crisis, and some of the present Wall Street enablers, is not change - it is more of the same - more like Republicanism.

Not so 'smart'. Unless you are also in the pocket of Goldman Sachs and Citibank, etc., in which case you must reward your donors.
