Now if only the rest of the netroots would follow. Between Leiberman and Clinton, it's like reliving FISA all over again. I have no patience for petulance and the exaggerated position blog commenters take in their own superiority complexes. As a longtime Obama supporter, there was no one more opposed to Clinton in the primaries than me. But I'm over it. They were fighting for position on the same side. This ridiculous notion that Clinton is a "rival" is absurd. For crying out loud, even David Axelrod once worked for Clinton. Obama and Clinton are on the same team. Always have been. The primaries found them, logically, jockeying for the winning position. But the primaries are over. Together they're quite a team.
And, finally, this idea that "change" is equal to cabinet choices - absurd! Change was always about the issues, not about the people. In the post-election season Obama has already doubled-down on closing Guantanomo, stopping torture, pursuing green initiatives, restoring habeus, and pushing forward with healthcare. Folks, meet change.
