name your ideal cabinet

[ChaharMahal]

I would suggest to obama that he consider pick Hagel for defence secretary.
but he might have kerry or somebody like that in mind. He may have max cleavland in mind.

Secretary of State:richardson will do fine and I think obama feels like because of his royalty he needs to give him that.

Treasureyfcourse there are big names around. we all know a voker,ruben a summer or buffet would not accept these positions. obama will feel compelled to pick somebody who is not from wall street but understands that will be a difficult task.

EPA: I think he will pick a democrat who has lost recently

Energy Secretary:he needs a big guy here. I don't have an obvious name.

Labor: We all know Edwards is gone?don't have anybody in mind.

Helath and human services:He needs to appoint a hillary supporter to this postion.

I think he will pick atleast two republcians for his cabinet. I sincerly hope he will pick somebody like Hagel.

politico has a much better list than I do. by the way I think obama will appoint susan rice as UN ambassador.

I think he will relay on some of the Clinton's cabinet members. He will probably pick Emanuel as his Chief of Staff by today or tomorrow; he might name couple Republicans in his cabinet, there is talk of Lugar being Secretary of State but he needs to compete with John Kerry or Hagel being Secretary of Defense, I will be ok with Hagel, but I think he needs to put a democrat as Secretary of State; in Treasury I like to see Summers. I also like Samantha Powers for some kind of internatioal position it seems like she is a brilliant person. It will be interesting couple of weeks.

 

[ChaharMahal]

any idea for secretary of education?

 

[Farzad-USA]

any idea for secretary of education?

David Boren, former Oklahoma Senator and Governor and President of University of Oklahoma. He is moderate and he was one of the early supporter of Obama.

 

[westwienmaskulin]

He seems to have picked Rahm Emanuel for Chief of Staff.
Rahm Emanuel is Ari Emanuel's brother who is the agent Ari Gold is based on. Hence, I would suggest Ari Gold, Vinnie Chase, E, Jonny Drama, Turtle, Shauna, Dana Gordon and Billy Walsh for the cabinet.

Bill Ayers for Defence Secretary. He has bomb making experience.

 

[Farzad-USA]

Robert Kennedy Jr. will be a good for EPA, becasue he is a environmental attorney and advocate.

 

[eshghi]

Rahm Emanuel as chief of staff?! hmmmmm ... rather dubious if you ask me

he knows in and out of washignton. it seems to me it is actually job downgrade for him.

 

[lordofmordor]

What about Bill Clinton/Tony Blair as the head of the middle easter commitee to finalize peace bet israel/Palastinians and start immediately after inauguration with full concentration.

Joe Biden to deal with Iran.

I can't think of anyone right now but know Kordan is available should Obama extends him an offer. :--confuse :monk2:

Secretary of defense: Motori

Secretary of treasury: Fole_Penalt

Chief of Staff: Iranpaak

and eshghi for the Supreme Court

Loooooooool

 

[Farzad-USA]

It is confirmed President-elect Obama has selected Rahm Emanuel as his chief of staff.

 

[OzMate]

I would like to see Al Gore somewhere as part of his cabinet ...

 

[Bijans]

It is confirmed President-elect Obama has selected Rahm Emanuel as his chief of staff.

I actually think it is a pretty decent pick!!

 

[Iranpaak]

Wesley Clark would be a good choice for defense secretary. I think even more important is the supreme court jutices he can appoint. Had McCain won the election the supreme court would have tilted too much to the right with a few of the more liberal justices retiring soon.

Where is Agha Meyti to see that BHO's 1st pick is the son of a zionist:
Emanuel was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1959. His father, the Jerusalem-born Benjamin M. Emanuel, is a pediatrician and was a member of the Irgun, a militant Zionist group active during the British Mandate of Palestine.
