Three Bush appointees likely to stay
Continuity in crucial positions may trump change under Obama
As President-elect Barack Obama prepares to fill top positions for his incoming government, he faces a
stubborn reality: Some of the key individuals he will rely upon to tackle the country's most serious
challenges are holdovers from the current administration -- a trio of Bush appointees who will likely
stay in place for at least the first year or two of Obama's presidency.
In confronting the financial crisis and weakening economy, Obama must turn to Ben S. Bernanke, a Republican
and former chairman of President Bush's Council of Economic Advisers, who will lead the Federal Reserve
for at least the first year of the new administration.
