Will Obama save the Middle East?

Pickled Politics (Free subscription) | 7 hours ago

The New Yorker thinks all these big names might work: The team of Barack (Grandpa Was a Muslim) Obama, Hillary (I’m a Clinton) Clinton, and Rahm (Israel) Emanuel (that’s his real middle name! and he was a volunteer with the I.D.F. during the 1991 Gulf War!), with Joe Biden and Bill Clinton pitching in as necessary, would put the new Administration in an extremely powerful position to apply the kind...

Why so many old Washington hands?

Power Line (Free subscription) | 14 hours ago

One by one, beginning with Joe Biden, Barack Obama is filling key positions in his administration with old Washington hands. Jim Geraghty provides the details. Why, after promising "change" and deriding (as Geraghty notes) the notion that you can get improved results with "the same Washington players," is Obama taking this approach? One theory is that Obama doesn't have much of a palace guard of Washington...

Media Attache (Free subscription) | 17 hours ago

With Barack Obama's selection of Joe Biden as vice president and his consideration of Hillary Clinton for secretary of state, the term "team of rivals" is becoming a political cliche as coverage of the transition continues.
