Who Is Behind This Man

It's not my intention to kick a dead horse or beat the same drum. I'm not trying to keep on kicking the can down the road or trying to let the reader's know it's deja vu all over again but what is it with the selection committee of the President-elect? Today, again, another appointee from the Clinton administration. This time it's Carol Browner. Formerly, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency under Bill. Now she's been appointed the Energy Tsar. This is a conundrum since we will soon be having a Car Czar. Confusing, huh! What's the difference between a Czar and a Tsar? When I was a kid I thought one ruled Russia in the summer and the other ruled Russia in the winter but this guy wasn't quite as important as a Czar. Or, maybe it was the other way around. As long as I brought up the subject of the EPA, and as God is my witness, this is true: The EPA is pursuing a policy of charging cattle, pig and sheep farmers a "gas" tax but it's not a petroleum gas tax. It deals with the amount of CO2 emissions that are eliminated from the south end of these animals that float off into the atmosphere. The tax is to be imposed based on the number of animals a farmer has in his herd and could possibly create fines of $20,000 or higher---PER YEAR. This is so stupid even I cannot make this up but it's the price we pay for the global warming scare. Surprisingly, the Supreme Court voted to allow this to occur. But I digress.
When it comes to the Obama administration somebody has to be is pulling the strings in addition to the BHO crowd. I just don't have a clue as to who but it appears the Clinton's have a hold on the new administration. Obamaites either loved the way the Clinton's did things or BillHill have the goods on Barack. Think about it. There are just one heck of a lot of Clintonistas in place in some very important positions. We're either witnessing my premise or Obama is letting us know what we on the Right thought all along; he's unqualified and nervous about what it takes to be the President. The Bush tax cuts were going to be gone but now will be allowed to expire in 2010. Guantanimo would be closed immediately but rumors say that second thoughts are being given to this move. Just two days ago five of these thugish terrorists decided to plead guilty for their activities. The tipping point for me was when Barry asked current Sec. of Defense Robert Gates to stay on in the same position. People, this is a man who was appointed by the very hated George W. Bush. The Left and George Soros, in particular, had a conniption over this appointment. Considering the millions of dollars Soros gave to Obama there is something not quite right. You just don't mess with Soros.
In all fairness, Obama hasn't taken office and there will be some liberal positions enforced that will appease Obama's core constituency but it seems that the new power brokers in DC are more interested in seeking a center right than an all out leftward lurch. Coming from the most liberal person ever elected to the highest office in the land this is unimaginable.
Coming from the brilliant writer, pshychiatrist and television commentator, Dr. Charles Krauthammer, another viewpoint and a good one. It is strongly suggested that the reason for so many Clinton people is that Obama wants them to do all the foreign policy work while he only wants to be concerned with what takes place between the Atlantic and Pacific. This way he can concentrate on his economy and health care. If there's a problem on other shores he's more than willing to delegate success or failure to the foreign policy team. i.e. Hillary. Krauthammer is hardly a dummy and his assertion is more than likely worthy of consideration.
Somethings not quite right with the entire picture but we'll soon find out, won't we?
