Yeah that seems a very sensible attitude. An ongoing problem with a lot of Federal agencies is that the entrenched bureaucracy is often the biggest opposition a President faces. An Obama loyalist in charge of CIA is the best way for the new President to be sure his agenda is actually carried out.

George H. W Bush was a WW II navy pilot, one term congressman, Ambassador to the UN, Envoy to China, and Chairman of the Republican party before he was made CIA director.Â

What in that resume qualified him to be CIA director?

On the other hand, as chief of Clintonâ€™s staff, he certainly allowed it to move into some areas where it did not belongâ€¦.
