There been a lot of talk about should HRC be in President Obama's Cabinet and esp. what role if any should Hillary Clinton be.... I was really critical of Senator Clinton during the primaries, but i think she would be perfect for the job... Some bloggers are still upset over Hillary and her having any role in this administration, all i can say the election is over and if President Obama can look past the primaries for the best of the country shouldn't we??? President Obama loved the "Team of Rival" model so we should be prepared for any and all selections of course, HOWEVER the picks will be will qualified and not hacks.... These are some of my picks i thought of and will not freak out if Obama doesn't choose any.................
Secretary of State- Hillary Clinton has vast exprenince in foreign affairs and will allow President Obama to focus more on the economy... I do believe Obama or his staff should have say so in her assistance, but knowing Hillary(Diva) could be a deal breaker....
Secretary of Treasury- Larry Summers has the knowledge to be creative to stimulate the economy and calm the markets a bit...
Secretary of Defense- Robert Gates had did a pretty good job in this role.. I have no complaints just as many Dems, however it may complicate things if Gates wanna keep some of his Neo-Cons that's under him, if not Hagel it is.....
Attorney General- Eric Holder is the guy, however Napolitano was a close second, but i really want her to run for Senator and take McCain job..................
Secretary of Energy- Brian Schweitzer wow talk about change.. Schweitzer is also the new face for the Dems and gave a great speech during the convention... Schweitzer advocate developing synthetic fuels, natural resources and alt. fuels...............
Nat. Security- Susan Rice yes yes another Rice.... She has been on National Security Counsel and assistance Secretary of African Affairs......................
Homeland- Tim Roemer is the President of "Center For National Policy" a think tank that focus on National Security....................
U.N.- Caroline Kennedy is a trusted associate of Barack.. She avoided politics for part of her life, however that could be a plus if she bring new and fresh ideas with her............
EPA- Robert Kennedy jr. has a passion for the environment, so i have confident big companies can't influence Bobby to look the other way... yes i'm bring back the Kennedys' name.....
Agriculture Secretary- Tom Vilsack who specializes in energy conservation, renewable energy and agribusiness development.
U.S Trade- Dan Tarullo specialist on trade and international economics.....
Vets. Affairs- Tammy Duckworth
Secretary of Education Colin Powell is a nice chose i think and allow Powell to go out of an administration on a good note.
Secretary of Labor- Andrew Stern yes i said it, the president of SEIU.... Is it strange to put a union guy in charge of labor. no?
Health and Human Services Tom Daschle but i really want Sebelius however taking her away from being Kansas Gov. didn't sit well with me....... My only hope is Tom D. show balls while running this Dept. because he do get a little weak once in a while... hmmmm didn't Obama lose S.D. in primaries uggggh i might have to revisit this chose...
Interior- Ken Salazar the former executive director of Colorado Natural Resourses
Office of Budget and Management- Jason Furman Obama's campaign economic policy director...... duh
Transportation Secretary- Mortimer Downey has experience in this field to hopefully update this Dept and communities... There is a lot of talk about Rendell as T.S., but there is a chance a repub can come in and take over as Gov. Penn. has to stay blue...........
National Intelligence- John Kerry pls don't f'k this up... John Kerry is a smart man with strong foreign policy experience, but Kerry do get me nervous because he allowed himself to get swiftboated... none the less Kerry is a very capable person and will allow the country to see a Dem in charge of authority in keeping America safe....Drug Czar- Chuck Hagel, however this position depends on whether or not Obama keeps Robert Gates....
Supreme Court yes i know not part of the Cabinet, however i think it is important to nominate a Hispanic to the courts.. America is changing and the courts should represent more change plus hopefully this gesture will go over well in the Hispanic Community as part inclusion in the Dem. Party and stay a major voting bloc for President Obama............
