Implementing Change

Posted in Community ::: November 16, 2008 9:38 AM

I love this period of time when a newly elected President-Elect is getting his cabinet and staff members in place, it has that fresh feeling of Spring Training. What always amazes me is that incoming Presidents always seem to pick these DC re-treads, people, mainly men, that have been through prior presidencies.  As we speak Obama and Biden are filling the White House and Capitol Hill with those that have been around before and before and before. It  reminds me of the NFL when we see the same old coaches and the same quarterbacks bounce from team to team to team and somehow stay employed.  When I see Wade Phillips and Norv Turner still getting coaching opportunities and guys like Brad Johnson being second in line on the Cowboys, it never ceases to amaze me.  There isn’t anyone better than these guys around, that haven’t gotten a chance before? The same goes when I see Obama and Biden filling these positions with Clinton and Gore recyclables.  There is no young, brilliant hard charger that can do the job? Of course there is, but these choices are riskier.  They are going the safe route.  If you truly want to implement Change, I say, go the whole nine yards and really mix it up with some new blood in there.  They couldn’t do any worse.
