Wait a second, why is letting Gates stay on somehow evidence of ‘not making a decision’ or ‘making a safe choice.’? I think the ‘safe’ choice would be to replace the CIA spot with someone associated with the Dems, since that what one expects a new administration to do. So, asking Gates to stay on is actually a little mold-breaking (and I think, a good choice). Remember, Clinton in his first term was lobbied heavily to retain Bush’s CIA head (can’t remember the name) and instead he replaced him with someone pretty bad (again, can’t remember the name). Glad Obama’s not repeating that
