How exactly do former rivals count as loyalists?

NY Times:"The new team includes two veteran cold warriors and a former rival whose records are more hawkish than that of the new president."<a class="user" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/02/us/politics/02obama.html?_r=1&hp">http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/02/us/politics/02ob ...</a>I'm sorry. Where's this change again? lol

@roosterjm2k The CIA is a f**king criminal organization that has been endangering the US since its inception. They are the bad guys (along with apologists like you).

It's a matter of perspective really. I'm not going to have a very objective opinion, but then again neither are you. If you go looking for "change", you'll find it. Naming past rivals to cabinet positions (granted Richardson wasn't as much of a rival as Clinton), keeping a cabinet position the same when there's a change of party in the whitehouse, appointing positions based on qualifications and expertise rather than who owes favors to whom, those are all things that are significantly different from the last administration. Some of them are different from any administration in the last 30 years.You can also look at appointments and say it's Clinton III if that's what you want to go looking for. It's all a matter of perspective.Myself, I'm not wetting myself over anything until we see actual results. And if we don't see results, I'll level my share of criticism.
