Reading Too Much Into Obama's Cabinet

As someone who has written approvingly of Bush 41, I have to say that E.J. Dionne goes too far:


In electing Barack Obama, the country traded the foreign policy of the second President Bush for the foreign policy of the first President Bush.

Can we at least wait for the Obama Administration to govern before making claims on their behalf? Yes, "realists" are represented in the upper echelon of Obama's cabinet. Just as they were in President George W. Bush's.
