Reply #9: why the hell do you think he's bothering to inform us at all about his transition? [View All]

It's because he knows it matters who he chooses and what their views and record are.

Heck, you think it's just fine to represent what's happened so far in the transition as 'progress' but you can't seem to find room for anyone to disagree. What you want is blind trust and support. That's just not a responsible role for those of us who actually care about the details of issues and initiatives which will emerge from these players in his administration -- like the Iraq plan Petraeus and Odinero put out today which called for troops in Iraq past Obama's stated deadline.
