Obama for Change?

President-elect, Barack Obama, says that he will bring change to America, but will anything really change over the course of the next four years? I recently read in an LA Times article that Obama asked a sizable number of people to have a spot in his administration. However, many of these people are from the previous Clinton administration. Is this really the direction that we want to be heading in after the president-elect has promoting the idea of change for the past few months? I am sad to say that is very hard to make new things happen when the advisors of the president are from a previous administration that the American people were not too thrilled about. This could be very disconcerting for all the American people that are hoping for change with the new incoming president.

I am not saying that Obama will never be able to bring change to this nation. There is the possibility that change can still occur. I am only saying that it is very hard to make new things happen when old people are still in the White House. The president does not have unlimited power, Obama will need to work extremely hard with Congress and the American people to bring change to America. I do strongly hope that I am wrong and Obama will be the best thing that has ever happened to America. We will just have to wait and see what happens after the inauguration.
