I will take the chance (b/c nixon made me realize I should)

 

If Obama chooses Summers for Treasury it will literally piss me off as much as FISA capitulation.

 

DO. NOT. CHOOSE. A. PROVEN. FAILURE. WITH. NO. PEOPLE. SKILLS.

 

How about Michael Brown???/green

I hope not, frankly. I think she's be great, but I want her career path to take a different route.

I hope Bob Gates stays on as Secretary of Defense.

It appears that will happen. I'd like to know more about Bob Gates, he seems to have no ego, or rather, a non-politician forced to work with politicians. Just a man very good at his job that cares about how it's done.

There was some discussion that it's possible he'll stick around.. if only for a few months.

A few months is better than nothing at all. I know he wants to retire, but he's really too awesome to do so.

for the love of GOd leave her here

As long as he doesn't bring too many people from Illinois into his cabinet. It's fine if he brings a couple, but God forbid the cabinet looks anything like the atrocious government in our state.

Maybe for the US Senate, you dont go from Chief of Staff to President.

I really dislike the idea of keeping that notion around that Democrats can't be trusted on defense and they need a GOP type daddy to take care of them otherwise the mean military will hurt them. I understand that's not the only reason for keeping Gates around potentially, but it's so deeply ingrained in the media that I'd really like to see that be the one position given to a Democrat in the cabinet. That and energy. No Republicans for energy.

Or he's eyeing DNC chair in 2013.

I'd like to see Robert F Kennedy as Administrator of the EPA.

He's served in mostly Republican administrations but you pretty much hit it on the head. He has universal respect between both parties. He's the polar opposite of Rumsfeld. Rumsfeld was a typical bureaucrat who had an agenda that included grabbing as much power and authority as he could. When I write papers about the intel reforms and whatever else I always end up bashing Rumsfeld. Gates doesn't play that game, he's all about the government as a whole and not just his department, and he's built some really good cooperative relationships within the intel community. I have nothing bad to say about the guy.
