As I was watching CNN this morning before work, they came on with the story about the Illinois Governor and possible ties with people inside Obama’s transition team and those inside his newly minted cabinet. The CNN headline read, “True Change? Or Politics as Usual?”

I have to ask myself, where were stories like this during the campaign, you know the whole “no bias, no bull” thing that CNN pushed every night on cable news? Is Obama bringing any true political change? Or is he just bringing politicians in from one of the most politically corrupt states in recent history? And therefore, is this a negative “change” to even more corrupt politics, moreso than we have seen yet (I can hear the Bush-haters now)?
