Say this for Barack Obama. In staffing his administration, he has shown an extraordinary willingness to include people who have argued, quite convincingly, that Barack Obama is dead wrong about the most important issues of our day.
For secretary of state, Obama has decided to appoint the woman who voted to authorize the war in Iraq and who convinced 19 million Democrats that Obama simply wasn’t ready to be president. For secretary of defense, Obama has decided to keep in office the man who oversaw the success of the surge Obama believed would fail. And for national-security adviser, Obama has picked a retired general who, when rumored to be a possible Obama running mate, killed the speculation by making a joint appearance with his close friend John McCain.
