Seriously, isn’t it amazing just how impressive the people being named to key positions in the Obama administration seem? Bye-bye hacks and cronies, hello people who actually know what they’re doing.

That doesn’t mean they’ll succeed - this might be a good time to reread The Best and the Brightest. But what an improvement!
