FROM CNN
HEAD: Obama's staff picks cause critics to question his call for change
NEW YORK (CNN) -- Barack Obama pledged to bring "fundamental change to
Washington" as he campaigned for the White House -- but as the
president-elect fills out his administration, critics say they're seeing
just more of the same.
Barack Obama's team is made up of a lot of people who also worked for former
President Bill Clinton.
More than half of the people named so far to Obama's transition or staff
posts have ties to former President Bill Clinton's administration.
The Clinton-heavy team has caused some Republicans to question Obama's call
for change.
"I think several individuals are very frustrated to think that
President-elect Obama may just cut and paste from some of the Democratic
operatives from the Clinton administration and put them into his White
House," said Leslie Sanchez, a Republican strategist and CNN contributor.
Republicans aren't the only ones who want Obama to branch out. Robert
Kuttner, a liberal and author of "Obama's Challenge," says the
president-elect should broaden his recruiting efforts.
"It's not as if the only competent people who ever served in government or
who are capable are serving in government are veterans of the Clinton
administration, so he's got to be careful how many Clintonistas he appoints
to top level government posts," Kuttner said.
Before Clinton, however, Democrats had not been in the White House since
Jimmy Carter, and many of those in Carter's administration are too old to
serve again under Obama.
Lanny Davis, President Clinton's former special council, lobbied publicly
for Obama to choose Sen. Hillary Clinton as his running mate during the
campaign. Despite what critics say, Davis says real change is about policy,
not people.
"What this conversation is about is laughable if you ask people in America
what they care about. They care about the economy, jobs, education, health
care. They don't care about whether somebody who fills a particular box is
from a prior administration," he said. Watch analysts weigh in on Obama's
staff picks »
The Obama transition team said in a statement that they are dedicated to
building a well-rounded administration.
"President-elect Obama is committed to putting together a competent team
that is diverse in many ways, including experience. Serving in high level
positions whether in government, in the private sector or in public service
is seen as a positive," spokesman Nick Shapiro said.
Among the so-called "Clintonistas" is the former president's wife, who is
widely considered the frontrunner to be the next secretary of state.
Obama last week asked Sen. Clinton if she would consider taking on the post,
multiple sources told CNN. Her response is expected this week.
Observers say President Clinton could pose an obstacle to his wife's
becoming secretary of state, given his extensive international business
dealings and global foundation.
The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that the former president has
offered to release information related to any future charitable and business
activities. The article cited Democrats with knowledge of the discussions.
That move could smooth Sen. Clinton's path to the new job.
Obama's latest selection -- Eric Holder -- also has ties to Clinton. Sources
told CNN on Wednesday that Obama offered Holder the position of attorney
general.
Holder served in the Clinton administration as deputy attorney general,
Rahm Emanuel, the incoming White House chief of staff, is a former top aide
to President Clinton.
And Peter Orszag, the head of the Congressional Budget Office, was picked to
head Obama's Office of Management and Budget, a top Democratic source told
CNN on Tuesday. Orszag worked at the Clinton White House as special
assistant to the president at the National Economic Council and served on
the Council of Economic Advisers.

Obama's going to have to hit the ground running in the midst of the

who can hit the ground running, too, so it's not unreasonable to choose
those with previous experience.
Besides, we were a hell of a lot better-off at the end of Clinton's term
