Barack Obama may recruit defence chief Robert Gates
In defiance of traditional party labels, Barack Obama, the Democratic presidential nominee, may ask the defence secretary of President George W Bush to stay on if he wins the White House.
Obama’s top foreign policy and national security advisers are pressing the case for keeping Robert Gates at the Pentagon after he won widespread praise for his performance. The move would be in keeping with Obama’s desire to appoint a cabinet of all the talents.
Considering that earlier Obama talked about appointing such luminaries as Lugar, Hagel, and Schwarzenegger I have to ask: is this about change? or changiness?
