he's getting people who can get his shit done., e.g. pull of of iraq. kucinich sure is a sweet guy, but could he get the pentagon off his ass & moving? hm.... i doubt that. obama is to set the mission and his cabinet is to execute it. so you want good performers here, not ideologues.
his national security advisor is a tough ass marine who's against the iraq war. hillary, i am not a fan, but she's got the international prestige. janet napolitano has experience with immigration issues. gates is respected by the military, he just needs a new mission to execute.
best of all, obama's brought the awesome samantha power back on board at state (ok, i confess a crush on the woman) even though she called hillary "a monster". ha ha haha.
