It’s official. The old Clinton gang really is back together again. Answering the phones these days for the co-chairman of President-elect Barack Obama’s transition, John D. Podesta, is none other than Betty Currie.
Emerging from retirement in southern Maryland to volunteer at Obama headquarters, Ms. Currie was the personal secretary to President Bill Clinton, who became caught up in an independent counsel investigation into his trysts with the White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Since leaving the White House, Ms. Currie, 69, has shied from publicity and kept a low profile in Hollywood, Md., where she lives with her husband, Bob, and Socks, the presidential cat, which she took with her after Mr. Clinton left office.
Ms. Currie, who works with local nonprofit organizations and serves on the Alcohol Beverage Board of St. Mary’s County, declined to discuss her work for Mr. Obama or her recent life, citing a transition office policy against volunteers giving interviews.
Compelled to testify to a grand jury five times about Mr. Clinton’s relationship with Ms. Lewinsky, Ms. Currie is widely admired in Clinton circles for her loyalty and effectiveness.

This has got to be the biggest bait and switch campaign ever.
Some change.
Thanks for posting... Man, you can’t make this stuff up!
Based on McCain's recent behavior, we probably would have had the same people in charge.
In a related development, Vince Foster's grave has been robbed!
I'm just waiting for Susan McDougal to get a job in the transition office... or maybe the the State Department!
You're right. McCain would have been a distinction without a difference.
The article first claims she volunteered to work at Obama’s office, then Podesta said he asked her to come back. Which is it? And does “volunteer” mean she’s not getting paid?
It sounds to me like she’s not getting paid for the transition, but then is expected back on the White House payroll—so both could have happened in either order.
No, as the articles states, "volunteers do not give interviews".
Why is this news, the Democratic Leadership Council (www.dlc.org)has been pushing the Third-Way, (i.e. Progressive agenda) for about two decades. Third-Way link ta the DLC: [www.ndol.org/ndol_sub.cfm?pagenum=3&kaid=128&subid=187].
This website absolutely lays out the premise for their plan as well as where they are at today. This was concocted by Al From and the Clinton’s. Many politicians who follow this mindset are calling themselves “Progressives” This is nothing more than a form of socialist-fascism!

Sox was the lucky one going with Betty. Buddy got whacked for telling the Busch’s Bean’s dog too much.
She answers like this:
“Hello, President-elect Clinton’s office, may I help you?”
Ah, but he’ll never tell!
She distributes Obama's public appearance schedule to people with middle names like "Harvey" and "Earl"
No difference at all between McC and O.
“I did not give Sox to that woman—Miz Currie,” the ex-president insisted...

I'm sure that she'll be keeping Bill occupied and off the radar screen...
