Imagine if Obama had given Bill Gates a similar role.

The people on Fox would have literal heart attacks on air. I'm remember them going crazy because Obama wore a tan suit (it's got a wiki page!).

I'm not a fan of Bill Gates in a lot of ways, but he actually has experience building and running a large, successful, long-lived organization. There's no way he'd come in and make drastic changes to an organization he knows absolutely nothing about in the name of "efficiency".

Yes imagine. So it’s pretty clear the other team is overreacting just like the current team would overreact.
