Cleaning out the crap left behind by Bush/cheney will take a lot of work.

The worst part, all those zombie morons left in the civil service. How do you get rid of them?

Obama must be careful, or he might just fix so much of Bush's mess that history will remember W as a do nothing pres, instead of the most laughably incompetent one.

Wait, you mean, things like the Childhood Lead Advisory Board (acutally, I forget the exact name), would be filled with healthcare experts and other professionals with an eye toward actually preventing exposure to lead, instead of being filled with people who advise the lead industry, protect it from legal actions, and downplay the risks of lead exposure?

This is shocking. Simply shocking.

Well, yeah, Steve, there is that.

I just happened to have covered lead exposure for a children's environmental health organization for a mighty long period, so that particuar example stuck in my craw.
