So I was reading the paper today and happened upon this article in the boston globe titled Obama defends experienced, centrist team...
Here is the link:

So now a few weeks ago here I remember saying that I felt Obama was focusing too much on the old liberal guard and rehashing too much of the former Clinton administration, and at that time more than a few came out to say that my conservative bias was blinding me to reality and that because of this I wasn't getting "it" with regards to his selections...
So I just had to chuckle a little when I saw that not only am I "not getting it" but it seems that the many who helped move along Obama's grass roots efforts aren't getting it either as they voiced the same criticisms...the obvious being that they are pro Obama and also presumably liberal so using the conservative bias argument doesn't fly.
Personally, as conservative as I am I would have much rather seen him go outside the box and try something different with fresh faces and truly new ideas, and it seems like people on the other side of the policy fence who supported Obama from the outset tend to agree.
