While discussions continue over the possible nomination of Senator Hillary Clinton as the next Secretary of State, President-elect Obamas transition team announced Wednesday that Tom Daschle, the former Senate Democratic leader, will be named secretary of health and human services.

As speculations abound over who President-Elect 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.

The website Politico reported last week that 31 out of 47 people named so far to transition or staff posts have ties to the Clinton administration. Today we host a discussion on what this means for Obamas mandate for change.

Jeremy Scahill, ward-winning investigative journalist, Democracy Now! correspondent, and author of the international bestseller: Blackwater: The Rise of the Worlds Most Powerful Mercenary Army." His latest article was just published on Alternet.org. Its called This is Change? 20 Hawks, Clintonites and Neocons to Watch for in Obamas White House

David Corn, Washington bureau chief of Mother Jones magazine. He"s just written a piece for the Mother Jones blog called The Agents of Change on Obamas Transition Team

So the Illuminati federation of Atlantica is working with the school of the blind to perform procedures such as child health care, and aiding cancer.

I also think that despite most of your opinions, King Leonatius has great political opinions, and I don't know why all of you guys are bashing him so hard on health school reform systems. I think that it is just ignorant to ignore the fact he set up a cat hospital.

I heard that they might name him Master Chief of the world.
