Anal Republican To Keep His Job Under Obama

Sorry, I meant anal retentive. Just going with the vibe here.

Hope Barry O'messiah gives him a nice reach around, though.

CHICAGO – President-elect Barack Obama will keep Defense Secretary Robert Gates in that job for at least a year, according to an official familiar the two men's discussions.

Obama is expected to announce the selection of Gates and other members of a national security brain trust next week. Gates has served as President George W. Bush's defense chief for two years.

Gates, a moderate with long-standing ties to Republican administrations and the Bush family, would fulfill an Obama pledge to include a Republican in his Cabinet.

Glad to see that Barry O'messiah is extending his flying finger of friendship* in order to placate the moderate Republicans who lost the election.

*Read up on your dolphin behavior for that one.
