Those who are complaining but about Obama's coices obviously did not read is Blueprint for Change. Change does not mean you hire inexperienced, incompetent people. The people who worked in the Clinton administration worked in lower positions. Naturally they would work their way up. YOU cannot make changes in DC with out connections. One of Carter's biggest mistakes was not bring experienced DC people into his White House circle. Obama has plenty of new young blood.
Obama is not the raving liberal that some thought he was. That is why he got so many votes and raised so much money. He is brilliant, and pragmatic. Just what we need in these troubled times.
We cannot just pull out of Iraq right away and he never promised that Obam promised a gradual pull out over 16 months. I think keeping Gates on for at least 6 months may be a good idea.
