Rove: Obama's Team Represents "Continuity"

WASHINGTON — President Bush's former political director says the national security team named by President-elect Barack Obama "represents, to a substantial degree, continuity" especially in hot spots like Iraq and Afghanistan.

Karl Rove said on NBC's "Today" show the naming of the national security team is "a reminder that continuity exists particularly in our foreign and international relations."

Rove pointed to the retention of Defense Secretary Robert Gates and the naming of James Jones as national security adviser, a Vietnam war veteran who rose to become a Marine four-star general and served as military chief of NATO during the Bush administration. Obama also named Hillary Rodham Clinton as his nominee for secretary of state.

Continuity would mean that Obama would play the part of Dumb and Biden would play the role of Dumber.

Not going to happen, we finally have competence and intelligence back in the white house.

Thanks for the humor Rove, Continuity, lol.

Starting to see a pattern? Rove agrees with everything Obama does. Condi gushes, Limbaugh thinks Hillary is a "brilliant stroke"...­. They're promoting the No Change Obama to undermine his support. Don't be fooled.
