  • Obama's cabinet choices.

    Obama comes to you and wishes to consult with you on who he should pick to fill his cabinet positions.

    Give names and the qualifications you think they possess to explain your choices for Obama's cabinet.


    Hilary Clinton for Secretary of Health?

    Colin Powell for Secretary of Defense?

    Hell no and no.

    There'll probably be a Republican in Defense at least until US soldiers are out of Iraq. Maybe Lugar there somewhere as well...

      Why would he choose somebody who has proven herself to be completely managerially and politically inept (both as a campaigner and as a health-care reformer) to be in his cabinet? What the hell does she bring to the table?

      She is now a marginal figure in the Democratic party. She was only important as a perennial possible contender for President. By the time she can run again she will be 69 years old.

      She had her shot and lost to a no-name first term Senator from Illinois. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

        The Powell pick for Sec Def is marginally better, but given the man's past as a no-conscience, lying apparatchik of the Bush admin, why would Obama poison his admin by doing this?

        Powell wanted to rehabilitate his image by coming out for Obama. And maybe he even wanted to atone for his sins. But it stops there.

          Neither would accept the post.

            If
            a) he didn't totally view the world differently than Obama and

            b) he would even consider accepting

            McCain for Sec of Defense would be brilliant.

            Richardson wouldn't be bad for Sec of State.

            He better pick someone good for Treasury since they are going to manage the bailout.

              Richardson has a very very good shot as Sec of State. Edwards probably would've got some scraps thrown at him if it wasn't for the adultry scandal, not sure if he'll get anything now...

                  So what are your suggestions?

                    Bush for secretary of Terrorism... he needs to go to explore Afghan Caves in person with a team of his choice to finally locate OBL

                    Cheney secretary of Iraq Sectarian Peace & Freedom... the same - get an office in Fallujah + he has to orchestrate the peace efforts in person to speed them up...

                    Wolfowitz - secretary for Palestinian question - send him to Gaza & to help Blair (organize with Gordon that two of them actually live there until the crisis is solved)...

                    Rumsfeld - special presidential subject for interrogation method tests... send him to Gitmo to personally be subject to interrogation methods so that he can give personal recommendation back to congress & President of the methods he liked best used on him, and their effectiveness after 4 years of non lethal testing...

                    Gonzales - same Rummy just for regular US jail service... needs to live 3 months at a time in different jails to asses the situation and report back after four years.

                    the rest is not really important

                      OFITG - Secretary of funnay


                      Serious question - I always remembered that the US cabinet was relatively professional - people having a solid professional background in their positions. Is this no longer the case?

                              What are you nuts? She's likely to make a very strong play for Senate Majority Leader and will be a very powerful Democratic Senator until she resigns or dies.
