Joe Biden s Transition Is Much Better Than Barack Obama s, Author Says
Author Matt Stoller argued on Monday that Joe Biden s transition has been significantly better than Barack Obama s after his 2008 electoral victory.

Biden s people are either corrupt shallow hacks or well-meaning technocrats, whereas Obama mostly chose actively malevolent con artists. Stoller s comments were in response to
