Such critics claim that, by hearkening back to people who held positions in the Bush and Clinton administrations, Obama is abandoning his entire platform of change.

Meanwhile, Martine Aubry is the architect of France's now defunct 35-hour workweek; she is known as a tried and tested traditional leftist seeking to take the party back to its roots. However...
