Obama announces Clinton, Gates for Cabinet

Barack Obama chose his democratic candidate rival, Hillary Clinton, to be his secretary of state. He chose Robert Gates, who was on Bush's administration, to remain as defense secretary. Obama chose Clinton and Gates to help him decide when the right time is to pull the troops out of Iraq. Also, Obama said he believes in having a cabinet full of strong personalities and individuals. Even though him and Clinton were running against each other, he says that most disagreements are magnified during a campaign and won't be a problem.
