It seems that Obama is really trying to fashion a Lincoln-like government by keeping Gates on at Defence for at least a year or more.
Gates and retired Gen. James Jones would bring decades of experience to the administration of a 47-year-old commander in chief who campaigned on a pledge to redeploy combat troops in Iraq within 16 months while simultaneously ramping up the U.S. military presence in Afghanistan.
Obama is picking the right man for the job over and over again in his Cabinet. Even Joe Lieberman agrees.
"Everything that President-elect Obama has done since election night has been just about perfect, both in terms of a tone and also in terms of the strength of the names that have either been announced or are being discussed to fill his administration," Lieberman said during a visit to Hartford.
