OLD POLITICS AND OBAMA

The Times: Reports that two of President Obama's nominees have had to withdraw their nominations due to tax issues. President Obama is finding that D.C culture does not change because the Oval has a new President. One should never take a position on ethics in a new Administration, one can almost guarantee one is going to get bitten by a nominee, ask Bill Clinton. The Reagan First Term Team was the most effective new Administration, Obama thus has problems with his Economic Plan and his nominees. The problem that Democrats have is that they are not in power that much, thus Democrats have to earn a living, thus they take outside work or leave basic issues like tax to others, this can cause problems down the line, when there is a Senate Confirmation hearing. This mess of the nomination process follows the Bill Clinton pattern, Obama should have a word with Bill Clinton, get his advice as how to avoid such issues.
