Obviously we're talking a matter of degree....
Well... the only problem with cronyism is that there is a tendency to put people into jobs for which they are not qualified, but if any president (or governor or mayor, etc.) doesn't hire people who are political allies for these jobs, then how would said elected official get his/her agenda implemented?

To put it more simply, here's a quote from "Big" Frank Rizzo, one of the last great mayors of Philadelphia, regarding cronyism:

"Who the hell you want me to give 'em to...my enemies?"

Simple. Appoint the best people possible and you'll create your allies as you go along. There are plenty of qualified people on both sides of the aisle.

Look at what happens when you appoint people on cronyism though. My home state of Illinois is a prime example of that.

It doesn't work that way. When Bush became president he made the mistake of retaining many people who had been appointed by Clinton. We now have one of the most dysfunctional federal governments in modern history as a result.
