Leon Pennetta has been named the CIA Chief, interesting move but one that is actually very logical.  

One of George W. Bush’s biggest mistakes was not cleaning the shadow government the federal bureaucracies such as the CIA have become. As the years have progressed these bureaucracies have been shaped by the past presidents and it is critical for the new president to clean out the old, when their ideologies conflict. Failure to do so will result in a powerful branch of the government, seemingly under the control of the president, working to undercut the Commander and Chief instead of working with them.  

The nomination of Lean Pennetta serves one purpose; to control or weed out those that might counter the ideology of Barack Obama. An experienced politician and former White House Chief of Staff, Pennetta is a master at the game and that is his one and sole purpose at the CIA, to play it and win it. Obama does not want a CIA that is constantly leaking actions someone deems wrong, such as the problem Bush faced with nearly every turn.  

The nomination of Pennetta is a perfect move and one that will only benefit Obama in the future.
