Cabinet Changes

So the media is making a big deal out of Bush's cabinet changes. A little bit of research and you can see President Clinton's Second Administration Cabinet changes:
  1. Secretary of State : Warren Christopher to Madeleine Albright
  2. Secretary of Defense : William Perry to William Cohen
  3. Secretary of Commerce : Mickey Kantor to William Daley
  4. Secretary of Labor : Robert Reich to Alexis Herman
  5. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development : Henry Cisneros to Andrew Cuomo
  6. Secretary of Transportation : Frederico Pena to Rodney Slater
  7. Secretary of Energy : Hazel O'Leary to Frederico Pena
I only counted those that changed in 1997. Throughout the course of his Presidency, Clinton had 9 of his cabinet positions turn-over, some multiple times. So why are the changes in President Bush's second cabinet such a big deal?
