A TEAM OF TIME-SERVERS:

Obama's Cabinet may be short on reformers (Alec MacGillis, 12/20/08, The Washington Post)

[M]any of Obama's other picks reflect his apparent preference for practical-minded centrists who have straddled big policy debates rather than staking out the strongest pro-reform positions. Their reputations as moderates have won Obama plaudits from even some Republicans, but the choices offer relatively few clues to his plans in certain key areas.

His team reflects him--just there for the line on the CV.
