Too early to speculate or criticize. In fact keeping his decision process close to the vest is a good thing in my opinion. One of the problems the Bush administration had was the constant revealing of secret deliberations by the press. The NYT has revealed many confidential programs in the past that have had detrimental effects on national security. But they did this to hurt Bush.

And I think he is wise to get the inner core white house team established first. Once in place vetting cabinet members becomes easier. Emanuel is a can do guy even if you don’t like what he will do.

It will be apparent soon enough if he will revert to voting present mentality. Until then I am going to watch and wait.
