OBAMA’S CABINET….The New York Times says Hillary Clinton has decided to become Barack Obama’s Secretary of State. New York Fed chief Tim Geithner will head up the Treasury. So far, then, Obama’s cabinet looks like this:
State: Hillary Clinton
Treasury: Tim Geithner
Defense: Robert Gates (maybe)
Attorney General: Eric Holder
Health & Human Services: Tom Daschle
Homeland Security: Janet Napolitano
Whatever else you can say about this crew, there’s not much question that Obama is assembling an extremely experienced and competent set of advisors. This is a team that can definitely hit the ground running.
On a related topic, I guess this means I have to eat my hat. After my trip to the Genius Bar this afternoon I shall search the local bakeries for a chocolate cake shaped like a hat and report back to you on how I fare.
