For example, if I had a military problem, it would make sense to appoint a military leader to solve it.
If I had a business problem, I would find an expert business leader to solve it.
Not surprisingly, if I had a medical problem I would appoint a doctor or medical administrator to get rid of the problem.
But, on the other hand, if I appointed a political operative, what does that say about how I view the nature of the problem I have to solve?

Who would you appoint if you wanted someone to coordinate all the government agencies involved? Who would you appoint if you wanted to cut through all of the government red-tape? A physician or a businessman would not be able to do this, but a political operative is a perfect choice.
BTW: if you want to tweet the president some of your ideas, his twitter handle is @barackobama (very easy to remember).
