For starters....
I'm talking about bringing in the same people (literally and figuratively - many direct rubin disciples) into the Cabinet who gave the finance industry everything they wanted when Clinton joyfully signed the repeal of Glass-Steagall in 1999.
I'm talking about what the author of this post is talking about - the hypocritical ze@l for secrecy after running a campaign in the shadow of the bush disgrace with a theme about returning to an open government.
I'm talking about pushing on one hand for getting our troops home as soon as possible and then caving in to fears for being perceived as weak - callously keeping our presence in Iraq until leaving on the final day that bush signed for in an agreement with Iraq. We will stay to the last minute in Afghanistan, too... accomplishing absolutely nothing.
I'm talking about avoiding honest communication with the public - barely conducting any more press conferences than dubya.
I'm talking about attacking Social Security with 3 major assaults (so far) - while bush only had one: privatization.
BTW - I'm currently in the middle of Stiglitz's latest book on inequality. If you read that, you'd see how little Obama is achieving for America.
