Not surprised, just quite disturbed. There should be certain requirements to hold various cabinet positions.

Agencies such as the CIA or State Department should promote from within. Someone from the outside should not be brought in to manage an agency they have never worked for. It makes absolutely no sense. There are plenty of qualified people they can promote from within. Even if the particular president is looking for someone with liberal or conservative leanings, there are still plenty of qualified people who could be chosen from each agency.
