Actually, Cheney and Rumsfeld were considered wise old hands from his father's administration and I think most people without an idealogical bias saw them as such. At the time Bush first took office it was Ashcroft who most people considered the "problematic" cabinet member.


Actually I do remember that Bush Jr. did push the wise old hands bit to reassure voters that it was OK to elect him. The problem is they ended having much more power due to our President not being up to the job. I do agree that Ashcroft easily drew the most fire.

So I wonder who will be Obama's seasoned hands? Or considering his feelings about experience perhaps maybe he'll try something new?

Fair play!
