That's an old saying I'm sure everyone here has heard at some time or another. I guess Obama has taken it to heart, considering his cabinet and 'inner circle'.

It looks to me it's the pot calling the kettle black. Bloomberg's media is about as unbiased as Foxnews. Let's face it, Bloomberg is so important to New York he's declared himself irreplaceable and needed for another term. Get real. That piece looked like it could have been written by Rupert Murdoch.

Not exactly crushing rebuttal to call a few names at Bloomberg the person.
I am a bit confused... tell me more clearly how Michael Bloomberg's personal behavior in NYC affects the company Bloomberg News and makes it biased?
Also, tell me how bias, if it is there, makes the list of Obama's picks false?

What Hamlet said Jeep. Are you claiming that the appointments listed in that article are all false? Or that those people didn't work for the companies listed, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Is THAT your best answer? To completely and blaizely ignore the entire matter because you don't like the source? Well, sorry to break this to you but the source is OBAMA. HE'S the one who has chosen these people, as well as Rahm Emanuel who was a director of Fannie Mae when it was engaged in active fraud. His entire transition team and cabinet is beginning to look like a 'Who's Who' of the very people who brought us this current financial mess. Or, like the Clinton administration considering how many old Clintonistas he's got on staff. Is THIS 'Change'? Looks like 'Same ole same ole' to me. Or, 'Meet the new boss, same as the old boss'.

This is my reaction as well. Looks like more of the same to me.

Listen, I am an old uneducated hillbilly redneck. You guys seem to be well educated and much more informed than me, but to me it is clear. For better or worse it will be change from the Bush adminitration's policies to something more in line with the Clinton adminitrtation's policies with the possible exception of monica under the desk. :popcorn:

If we wanted change, we would have voted out every big business incumbent in congress. Kenmefish, don't belittle yourself. "Educated" doesn't necessarily mean College Graduate.
