Failure to Deliver What You Sold

I ran across this on the DSLReports homepage. It is so interesting the way Obama is living up to his nickname of the "Waffle King".

I am hoping Obama does well and pulls the US out of the hole, but I am afraid he is going to be a typical sales person and not be able to deliver what he sold the country. He sold the country on unity and a break from politics governed by special interest. The article below shows another broken promise.

Obama Stocking DOJ With RIAA Lawyers
The more things change, the more they stay the same...

Techdirt, CNET and Slashdot all note that the new Obama Justice Department is looking increasingly like a RIAA/MPAA reunion, with a flood of ex-industry lawyers now stocking the DOJ shelves. In addition to Obama's RIAA-friendly VP pick, Obama has hired several of the of the RIAA & MPAA's top lawyers (Tom Perrelli, Donald Verrilli), and the BSA's anti-piracy enforcer (Neil MacBride). Assuming he adheres to them, Obama's own rules would prohibit these gentlemen from working on issues where they've represented the entertainment industry. Still, it's not exactly a comforting development for those who wanted more progressive leadership when it comes to copyright.
