Change you can believe in (2)

"Obama Appoints Foul-Mouthed Freddie Mac Crony Chief of Staff" (OpenMarket.org):
Obama has appointed as his chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, a former director of the failed government-backed mortgage giant Freddie Mac, which had to be bailed out by taxpayers. It’s perhaps not surprising, given that Obama was the second-largest recipient of campaign contributions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-sponsored mortgage giants that helped spawn the mortgage meltdown and financial crisis.

"Forget the Honeymoon" of Justin Raimondo of AntiWar.com:
He's mean, he's ultra-partisan, and he's a fully-paid up member in good standing of the War Party: ...
"What about Rahm Emanuel [for Vice President], the most powerful voice in the House of Representatives that agrees with Hillary Clinton on foreign affairs? He's a hawk. And although he's a rootin' tootin' liberal on domestic affairs, he is a hawk on foreign affairs .... here you have the hawkish side of the Democratic Party.
