Don't need a poll.. Bay Buchannan said it repeatedly during the campaign.

This is in the Constitution; it will not change. The Obama administration will work with these three branches; this may not be radical enough for some but I fervently hope this will not change either.

I'm quite sure that the people who are complaining about this are NOT looking for change at all. In fact, I think they're actually scouting for things to STAY THE SAME, so they can complain and be in a position of righteous indignation, chanting "No change, no hope, no unity" like spoiled brats.

change does not entail hiring the same people who have been entrenched in creating the problems for years to handle policy and the running of a new administration. That does not demonstrate the kind of "change" I thought Obama was talking about.

Personally, I took Obama at his word about "change" (changing DC and how things were done and who was going to be doing it).

There is no 'they' chanting 'no change, no hope, no unity'.

Honestly, I thought there would be fresh faces.

I would have thought that Obama would have looked outside of DC and outside of "politics" for some of his administration officials.
In 1991, while a partner with the private Phoenix law firm Lewis and Roca LLP, Napolitano served as attorney for Anita Hill. In 1993, Napolitano was appointed by President Bill Clinton as United States attorney for the District of Arizona. As U.S. attorney, she was involved in the investigation of Michael Fortier of Kingman, Arizona, in connection to the Oklahoma City bombing.
She spoke at the 2004 Democratic Convention after some initially considered her to be a possible running mate for presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry in the 2004 U.S. presidential election but Sen. John Edwards was selected instead.

If she does get the official okey dokey for this job she will have to get tough on border security and immigration. Here is the scoop i got from a cousin who lives in Tucson. She vetoed a bill that cracked down on bogus Mexican Consulate ID cards for Illegal Aliens and she blocked efforts that would allow more cooperation between local and federal law enforcement. She also supports in state tuition discounts for illegal aliens.
She doesn't seem tough enough for me.

Attorney general nominee Eric H. Holder Jr. repeatedly pushed some of his subordinates at the Clinton Justice Department to drop their opposition to a controversial 1999 grant of clemency to 16 members of two violent Puerto Rican nationalist organizations, according to interviews and documents.
The 16 members of the FALN (the Spanish acronym for Armed Forces of National Liberation) and Los Macheteros had been convicted in Chicago and Hartford variously of bank robbery, possession of explosives and participating in a seditious conspiracy. Overall, the two groups had been linked by the FBI to more than 130 bombings, several armed robberies, six slayings and hundreds of injuries.
