Obama: Powell will have role in administration. Huh?

Change. Ending the war, ending Republican policies. Obama's mantra. But if he wants real change, then why is he not only running with one of the Democratic Old Guard (Joe Biden), but now he's running with one of Bush's own top advisers. This action empties out Obama's arguments about the linkage between McCain and President Bush. In fact, it proves McCain's claims that he's radically different. It also puts on the table that Obama himself is the same as Bush.

If Obama's top people are the same or identical to Bush's, what will be different?

Are we not supposed to see the sameness of this?

WASHINGTON - Colin Powell will have a role as a top presidential adviser in an Obama administration, the Democratic White House hopeful said today.

'He will have a role as one of my advisers,' Barack Obama said on NBC's 'Today' in an interview aired today, a day after Powell, a four-star general and President Bush's former secretary of state, endorsed him."
