Feh on Obama foreign policy team and ‘change’

Nice to see Obama is a neolib/DLCer under the radar in foreign policy as well as the domestic side.

Hell, Warren Christopher was old 16 years ago; what the hell is he doing advising Obama now? Do we even know for sure he’s not senile?

Boy, Obama’s whole foreign policy team says “dead mackerel on a hot summer street,” not “change.” Or, “bland as Wonder bread soaked in water.” Other old-timers include David Boren, Madeleine Albright, Sam Nunn, Tony Lake and Tim Roemer.

But, some oldtimers are missing too, as Kevin Drum notes. Zbigniew Brzezinski and Richard Holbrooke, who would actually think outside the box. So would Bill Richardson.

Is Obama running scared of McCain on the foreign policy side, pandering to centrists, or both?
