The MSM is going to try and make a big deal about this, but unlike democrat administrations, Republican cabinets tend to have a big turnover when the President is elected to a second term. This is because the people Republicans pick are usually successful in the private sector, whereas democrat choices tend to be career government people who have no other career abilities in the private sector.

Very well said! I am really enjoying this as there are cabinet positions I am sure he would have filled differently under more favorable election returns in 2000. Now he has his mandate and his cabinet will be reflective of his agenda!

Of the 14 cabinet level positions, Clinton only retained 4 for his full 8 years in office:
Reno - AG
Babbitt - Interior
Shalala - HHS
Riley - Education

Hence, we are graced by their constant presence as "expert analysts" on the Old Media and accorded with lauds and praises for their astuteness and reasoned theses...Rubin, Begala, Steponallofus, Halfbright, et al.

Clinton had massive turnover. Most of his cabinet positions had two and three people. He had very few who stayed for an entire term let alone a second term.
It's quite normal, these jobs are heavy duty stress and people want out of the rats nest called Washington DC and want to return to private life.
