Obama isn't changing anything. It's all more of the same. There is not even a hint of a fresh start or perspective. See, for example, his fifth press conference here.

I can't find even a shred of boldness here or any courage to confront the established interests that run America. There are not even small public signals of such an intention. It is remarkable that the party and election process is able to produce such homogeneous figureheads that parrot the same lines. It is remarkable that so many Americans become enthusiastic over these stooges.

All Obama brings in his remarks that are remotely new are his themes of (a) unity, and (b) globalism. These are signals of even more mischief.

The remarks of his associates are more of the same, which is to say, an incredibly paranoid portrayal of an embattled country beset by threats, forces, and enemies. Their agendas are lengthy.
