Josh said: Suddenly none of us like Obama any more because he's . . .appointing all the wrong people. . . .I want to see the whole picture come into focus.

Agreed. And during his campaign Obama always came through with the winning play even when we folks in the nosebleed section weren't sure he was going to carry it off.

But I was a bit taken aback to see that beginning less than 24 hours after the election and still continuing the only names mentioned for the big jobs and inner circle are Chicago cronies or resurrected Clintonites or both. Surely a man who went to Columbia and Harvard Law and who is apparently admired planetwide and whose wife went to Princeton can call on the best and the brightest from just about anywhere. 

I'm willing to wait to see how it gels, but I'd feel reassured to see some new and brilliant faces.
