Obama - Switching Tone or Lying?

Mere hours after the election, Obama is "signaling a shift in tactics and temperament", according to the AP in this article. The article focuses on Obama's selection of Rahm Emanuel for Chief of Staff. AP calls Emanuel a "fiery partisan who doesn't mind breaking glass and hurting feelings."

He also picked former Clinton confidante and fellow partisan hack John Podesta to be his transition head.

"The selections are telling for Obama, who campaigned as a nontraditional, almost "post-partisan" newcomer," according to the article.

So, Obama campaigns as a new candidate, an agent of change. Then, barely 24 hours after he doesn't have to worry about campaigning anymore, he begins to show his true colors.

Was Obama lying when he was campaigning? Or did he experience an epiphany in the first twelve hours after winning? If you will recall, there were lots of non-MSM people, including yours truly, that pointed out that Obama is the most liberal member of the senate, when he is actually there and not voting present, that is.

Post-partisan, my behind.
