Team of rivals?

Much is being made about Obama selecting his campaign adversaries to posts in his administration. He is apparently inspired by a book called Team of Rivals that discussed how Abraham Lincoln had done the same thing.

Interesting concept. Is it me or did he primarily choose rivals who might oppose him in 2012? The team of rivals clears the field for his re-election.

I'm guessing all this public wrangling Hillary Clinton is doing over Dept of State will let him off the hook with her supporters when she finally declines too.

We'll see how he keeps all those egos in check.
