Again, it's an opinion, but it seems to me that our current President is more interested in rewarding people who were in his administration or his cronies when he was Governor of Texas.

I'd love to see how many candidates are offered positions in a cabinet based on party nominations as opposed to nominations by the President. Everything I've seen has been otherwise. The Pres picks who he likes best that won't get rejected. My favorite reward is the "Ambassador to France".
