We are still a month away from the Inauguration and it seems as if Obama's "Honeymoon" or his great build up is coming to an end at least for some on the left. Obama has picked Rick Warren a prominent evangelical minister to perform the invocation at his inauguration which many gay rights and abortion advocates feel like is a slap to the face. For the full story here is the Article, Gay activists furious with Obama.
Also, Obama received praise for his choice for his National Security team but that praise surprisingly came from Dick Cheney. Obama has left some of the existing players in key positions and picked many that Cheney worked with, so where is the "change" as many of those that voted for Obama might ask. Here is an article and video with Cheney's comments. Praise from Cheney for Obama’s national security team.

Obama Honeymoon Over

I listened to an interview with Condoleezza Rice. She was just as pathetically arrogant as Cheney is in this interview. Cheney's voice, his face sends shivers down my spine.
I'm sick of this haughty, supercilious attitude of the Bush Administration. That's why the majority of this nation's and the world's population are happy to see them leave. I'm not even going to start arguing with every little phrase that oozed out of that odious man's lying mouth. It will just make me more upset (If you couldn't already tell.... I don't like him).
Of course he's not going to publicly admit to anything or divulge any regrets. That would go against his administration's "We're always right" policy.
Cheney hardly says anything concerning Obama's national security team. The video isn't very helpful in getting the "lame duck" administration's opinion on the matter. Not that anyone cares about what they say now, anyway.
Indeed, Obama's honeymoon is over, as now the number of groups upset with him are growing daily. Liberals think he's not liberal enough, conservatives think he's somehow sneaky by keeping his promise to create a politically diverse cabinet, and interest groups are frustrated that their inside connections to the future white house have been eliminated.
Obama's change, as we can now see, isn't about a change in faces, but a change in policy. Obama has already shown change....in the way a president picks cabinet members. Instead of choosing people based on patriotism or how many steers one can rope, Obama is filling his cabinet with competent, intellectually-proven people who actually have brains to figure out complex stuff. Past presidents failed to do so; Clinton, getting those who had little or no political experience; or Bush, getting only those who wore American flag pins on their lapels.
