Gates

Politico reports that Robert Gates will be staying on as Secr. of Defense.
The team gives Obama experience in the bureaucracy and credibility with the military, although it could lead to criticism from his party’s left wing that the lineup is more hawkish and less revolutionary than his supporters expected.

Scooter, you're going to like this President as much as it's possible for you to like a Democratic president. And you might like him better than you like Bush 43. (Actually, I think it's possible you'll really really like him, but it's too soon to tell that.)

Well, I'm certainly reassured by the econ team and Gates. I can't imagine that the Cindy Sheehan crowd could be too pleased with the latter. He certainly seems to be gearing up to govern much more to the center than I thought during the primaries.

Having read his books, he's right where I'd expect him to be.

Poorly worded. I meant, "Having read his books, I expected him to be right where he's at."

I admit I haven't read the books.
