While I would prefer a strongly progressive administration, the fact is the country is in such a state, that I'd happily, gratefully even, welcome a merely competent administration. If Obama is picking people for their expertise in their field over their loyalty to Obama it'd be a long overdue and damned nice change.
As far as not being anti-war enough, being against the Iraq war, doesn't mean being anti-war. I mean the Iraq war was really really poorly implemented, lets not forget based on lies and mistakes. You don't need to be a hippy to be against the Iraq war. Even warmongers are against the Iraq war. And of course I'd prefer an pro-war but anti-Iraq war admin over any of the alternatives that were available to us in the election.
