Will Obama be a Carter or a Clinton? Part 2

As Obama continues the transition we can now see more things that will tell us if he'll be more like Clinton or Carter.

When Jimmy Carter prepared to take office his cabinet was more or less dictated to him by DNC king makers. Few were people Jimmy Carter actually knew or dealt with, all were well connected Democrats insiders.

When Bill Clinton took office he brought with him cronies from Arkansas. the few DNC insiders were people he already knew and was very familiar with.

Who is Obama picking, cronies or insiders?

So far the names we are being told are all DNC insiders, some left over from the Clinton administration, some from before that. I'm not seeing too many names of Obama's Chicago friends. If this continues it will be a sign that like Carter, Obama is being let by insiders instead of leading.
