WATCH-Obama's team: Agents of change or Hawks?-1/3

Agents of Change or Hawks, Clintonites and Neocons? A Discussion about Barack Obama's Advisers and Transition Team

As speculations abound over who President-elect Barack Obama will name to key cabinet positions, we look at some of the central figures advising Obama, many of whom are leading candidates for posts in the next administration. We speak with Jeremy Scahill, author of the new piece “This Is Change? 20 Hawks, Clintonites and Neocons to Watch for in Obama’s White House,” and David Corn, author of “The Agents of Change on Obama’s Transition Team.”

scahill's right. obama's mentor is zbig brzezinski of cfr/trilat. his wife is cfr. obama in his own words can't recall if he's a member of cfr or not. the club with some of the most powerful players in american foreign policy and he's not sure if he's a member.

Those false messiahs, who preach for equal justice, life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, democracy, civil & human rights need to prove to themselves and to the rest of the world, they stand for what they preach for. Justice has to prevail over internal political consumption & global political manipulation. In hopeless world of tyrants & false messiahs, Obama's election represents hope & enlightenment.

Obama must deliver, on the platform he is elected for, building a better world.

come on he has been saying since the election that there would be no change in policy not the war not the foreign policy nothing you would have gotten the same with mccain because we have been sold to the private banks that own the federal reserve, his cabinet is fuul of FANNY MAE, and GOLDMAN SACHS, and the rst are clinton leftovers, the only change you are getting is that phony idea that obama or any democrat is for the people. you wont be able to pretend anymore, its ok the repubs were first

Hell yeah, this was predictable and was something I've been writing and talking about Obama since early this year that he would most likely go a Clinton route if elected. I didn't realize just how literally that was so.

ditto.... the off synch audio is very annoying.

[Aiden057]

the audio is way, way out of synchronization to the picture...Can you correct that and report it? Do you have permission from Democracy Now to post these?

[thisismyfunnyname]

Is this even a question worth asking?

They are hawks and if I could have found a casino that would have taken a bet on this question before the election, I'd be doing my best right now to harden my private island from any nuclear fallout.
