No, I've been saying DC needs a shake-up from the last 8 years, I never argued that no one that's ever served in an administration should serve again (I just recently had this argument with my father by email too
). And with all the "experience" arguments some made against Obama, what would the reaction be if he brought in a full new slate of newbies? He knows he needs to bring people in with the experience and expertise to support him. And looking back, there were a lot of relatively young people in the Clinton Administration that are still in the prime of their lives and have plenty of years left to serve, I've been very comfortable with the people he's brought on so far and the prospects I'm hearing about. (my father warns of a "3rd Clinton term", I reminded him that there are plenty of people for whom that is a welcome, rather than scary, prospect
).
