Obama Will Be The President Of Change

But I don't think people understood that what he meant was "change" his mind.
Recently Obama appointed Volcker, who worked in the fed. during the Reagan revolution, as his economic advisor and has named Gates to stay on as secretary of defense. (which means we aren't leaving Iraq anytime soon.)

It appears Obama is more pragamatic than idealistic.
Therefore, the steps Obama took during his life (Wright, Ayers, memoirs, etc.), points more to political expediency than to a philosophy.
Which is fine by me.

To quote Glenn Reynolds - “Leaving the Bush tax cuts alone. Putting Iraq-war supporters in as Vice President and Secretary of State. And now keeping Bush’s Defense Secretary on. I’m beginning to feel like I won this election!”

See what the Politico has to say.

Here is a statement made by team Obama condemning the terrorist attacks in Mumbai.

“President-Elect Obama strongly condemns today’s terrorist attacks in Mumbai, and his thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and the people of India. These coordinated attacks on innocent civilians demonstrate the grave and urgent threat of terrorism. The United States must continue to strengthen our partnerships with India and nations around the world to root out and destroy terrorist networks. We stand with the people of India, whose democracy will prove far more resilient than the hateful ideology that led to these attacks.”

Doesn't that statement sound like something Bush would say?

Karl Rove jumps on the Obama bandwagon...somewhat.
