Yes. The public has a right to know who is advising Obama on his transition to the highest office in the land.

According to what i've read and observed, most of the people being brought into the team, are medium or low level people that were involved with the Clintons. If you were a democrat in the 90's, who were you supposed to associate with, the compassionate conservatives. When Bush 43 came in, it looked like a Nixon/Reagan high school annual. With the people Obama's bring in from his schools/associates in Chicago, I believe ever thing will be on the up and up.
