bmags Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 It appears that will happen. I'd like to know more about Bob Gates, he seems to have no ego, or rather, a non-politician forced to work with politicians. Just a man very good at his job that cares about how it's done.

whitesoxfan101 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 As long as he doesn't bring too many people from Illinois into his cabinet. It's fine if he brings a couple, but God forbid the cabinet looks anything like the atrocious government in our state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 5, 2008 -> 11:33 AM) I hope Bob Gates stays on as Secretary of Defense. I really dislike the idea of keeping that notion around that Democrats can't be trusted on defense and they need a GOP type daddy to take care of them otherwise the mean military will hurt them. I understand that's not the only reason for keeping Gates around potentially, but it's so deeply ingrained in the media that I'd really like to see that be the one position given to a Democrat in the cabinet. That and energy. No Republicans for energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to know more about Bob Gates, he seems to have no ego, or rather, a non-politician forced to work with politicians. Just a man very good at his job that cares about how it's done. He's served in mostly Republican administrations but you pretty much hit it on the head. He has universal respect between both parties. He's the polar opposite of Rumsfeld. Rumsfeld was a typical bureaucrat who had an agenda that included grabbing as much power and authority as he could. When I write papers about the intel reforms and whatever else I always end up bashing Rumsfeld. Gates doesn't play that game, he's all about the government as a whole and not just his department, and he's built some really good cooperative relationships within the intel community. I have nothing bad to say about the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
