As far as Treasury, I think Timothy Geithner would be the best choice. He is right in the middle of the mess so I believe he understands it best. Afterall, I think the economy is our number one issue right now.

I don't care how left Obama's cabinet goes. I just look forward to when we can use that term in relation to Dumbya. As in "where's Bush?"

He left.

I guess most are not concerned because they voted for him
and trust him 100%. Is that sad or great?
The Obama cabinet? Apparently you have quite a bit of advance knowledge hat no one else has.

Geithner would be a great choice. I really like him, and he knows what to do.

Lee Hamilton could be a dark-horse candidate.

Dick Lugar has stated he doesn't want to be considered for a Cabinet position.

Chicago machine politics as predicted, it's how he got in the first place, leaving the mob bosses out of this would be deleterious to one's health.

If you don't want a left leaning cabinet, you should have won the election.


But since you didn't, I hope the cabinet will be as left as possible and totally opposite from what you want so I can laugh at your pouting and whining for years to come.


Hahahahahahahahaha.

LOL all the name calling and right wing vitriol on full display in this thread. HAHAHAH

The funniest is watching people like Joe Scarborough right now on Morning Joe whining about Obama's choice.

Obama is president and he can appoint WHOMEVER he wants! HAHAHA That's his right as president. And you must admit, any choice whatsoever is better than Karl Rove the Criminal.

It is HIS choice so stop crying.
