Changes At The White House

A wolf can change clothes as many times as it wants...but at the end of the day, it's still a wolf.

I don't think this will make much of a difference for the White House and Republicans. With all the ongoing investigations, corruption, and bad policy, I just don't see how this will help them now. They waited too long (way too long) before acting. The damage has been done. And without a serious fundamental change in philosophy and policy, I don't see the White House turning things around in less than 6 months. This is a desperate last minute effort. One reason that they waited so long is that this is a crew that does not like to change unless it is absolutely necessary.

Although the American people are easily manipulated and have extremely short memories, this crew won't be able to save itself by turning Rove loose to try to work his magic. That won't be enough this time (and I certainly hope it won't). This Administration is so sloppy that i'm sure they have a lot more stumbling to do between now and November...so progressives should not worry. Rove...sure, he is an evil genius... I wish Progressives had a version of a Karl Rove. But not even Rove will be able to save the sinking ship.


NPR has a short story on the changes...

Also great analysis from The Houston Chronicle.
