It is interesting to see some of the reaction to President elect Obama's emerging team. I have noticed a couple of talking heads murmuring about retreads and the restoration of the Clinton years. Let me make one point in response to that - a guy like Eric Holder worked in the Clinton Administration as deputy AG but that does not make him a Clinton guy. Holder has been with Obama from the early stages of the campaign, co-ran his VP search and will make history as the first African American AG. More than that however, he is a low key professional who can fix a Department of Justice that is in serious trouble.
If Holder is joined by Napolitano, I think that we will see another first timer at the top of an important agency that needs a competent professional to straighten things out.
Competence at DOJ and DHS - that is change I can believe in.
