- LKnight, on 12/01/2008, -0/+5Ah, kroses, you neither read the article nor thought about history, did you? The old way would be for Obama to dole out favors to his established pals - he's done quite the opposite, which is CONSIDERABLE change from the idealogues that GWB in particular established as his cabinet, surrounding himself with the likes of Harriet and Alberto...
Are you deliberately misunderstanding in an attempt to suggest that Obama really isn't about change, or are you really that ill-informed? - holesome, on 12/01/2008, -0/+4If he brought in his insiders it would make the cries even louder that he wasn't about change. Logic suggests this is a subtle, shrewd decision.
History suggests that his detractors would attack his "change" message any way they thought it might gain traction, and the evidence supports that theory, clearly. - cmootoo, on 12/01/2008, -0/+3I'm not 100% on board with the Clinton pick but don't want to pass judgement until I see how this plays out. Lets remember that Obama will be the one setting the mandates and not these guys doing their own thing. Change should come from the policies and not the faces.
The Gates pick I can understand. It doesn't make sense to put in a new guy now that we're in thee middle of two wars. Obama's military advisers and his relationship with the JCOS are more important now than who is SecDef. - LKnight, on 12/01/2008, -0/+2I'm not a huge Hillary admirer, but she's already shown her ability to dodge sniper fire in Bosnia so dispatching her to deal with matters overseas where her husband's indiscretions don't offend sensibilities makes perfect sense.
As the author points out, the risk is that she's shown no ability to run such an organization - State includes far-flung embassies, and many egos, after all - so look for some very managerial deputies appointed to work the mundane parts of state while the Clinton's bask (probably very effectively) in the limelight. - cmootoo, on 12/01/2008, -0/+2I was trying to be nice to him but what you said works too.
- cmootoo, on 12/01/2008, -0/+1I would agree with some of those points. Yes, she showed a lack of decisiveness in the primaries and it cost her but I'll also say that the Clinton name is still respected more overseas and mending fences right now while showing a sharp turn from the Bush approach should bear fruit, no matter who is SoS.
Lets see what happens, no appointment is permanent. If she fails then hopefully Obama will pull the plug on her. - kroses, on 12/01/2008, -5/+1This doesn't make any sense. Clinton and Gates are from the old, old school. That's not "Change" I can "Believe In."
