Academic Elites Fill Obama's Roster

President elect Obama is assembling appointees of much greater intellect than is usually seen in government. I thought this would be a refreshing change, the change this great Country needs to move forward in these uncertain times, but could this actually be a bad thing? This quote from a Washington Post article gives pause for thought:

"These degrees confer knowledge but not judgment. Their heads are on grander themes . . . and they'll trip on obstacles on the ground."
