What A President Obama's Cabinet Might Look Like?
Here is one Democrat's assessment of who might be seated around the Cabinet Room table shortly after January 20, 2009 if Obama is elected president.

George H.W. Bush became famous for attending funerals on Ronald Reagan's behalf. Does Obama have something more planned for Biden?
As secretary of state, protocol will dictate that Clinton sit immediately to the right of Obama in cabinet meetings, making for great photos and a fascinating dynamic.
Hillary? Think about it. It's the ultimate Big Gesture and the world will love it. They won't be able to resist. It will be like having Princess Diana stories all the time.
While many are skeptical that former rivals can actually work together to achieve change, 66 million Americans vested Barack Obama with the responsibility to try.
Sarah Palin: if the stars misalign and you remain a national figure, it would be helpful for you to have at least a cursory understanding of the Constitution and political and economic issues.
Last night at around 11:00, just as I stepped back into the apartment after walking the dog, my phone rang. The voice at the other end told me it was...
Known in DC as a pro-Israel hardliner, he joins Pelosi in bringing to the Middle East peace process a record of support for Tel Aviv's targeted assassinations of Palestinian political leaders.
Winners: The Davids - Axelrod and Plouffe: they spearheaded a near flawless campaign. Katie Couric: her multi-part interview with Sarah Palin was the turning point in how the country saw Palin -- and by extension John McCain. And she did it in a way that left no room for accusations of being unfair or playing "Gotcha!" Michelle Obama: smarts, grace, style, charm, and a serious "good mommy" vibe -- she's got the whole package. Losers: Joe Lieberman: failed to deliver Democrats, independents, or Jews. And on the way to losing his committee chairmanships. Liddy Dole: her "Godless" ad will be taught in What Not To Do poli sci classes for a century. Joe the Plumber: the clock just hit 15 minutes, and the wakeup call will not be pleasant.
After watching the debate, I am convinced that if the country somehow has a collective mental meltdown and elects Sarah Palin, she will be even more dangerous than Cheney.

7. Isn't afraid of a press conference, sex education, an intellectual, a gay person, stem cell research or as W. called it, "the internets," "3 Shakespeares," or an honest day's work.
Like everyone else in America, I was waiting to see how the match up between Palin and Biden would transpire. Beyond the giddy atmosphere that was bu...
How do I Thank Thee, Sarah Palin? Let me count the ways... (With profound apologies to Elizabeth Barrett Browning)
Last week a mix of water and sanitation experts gathered for World Water Week in Stockholm, Sweden to mull over the world's biggest public health crisis. The problem is that not enough people paid attention.
Sarah Palin is selling a lie, just like McCain. If the Obama campaign won't explain that to the American people, McCain and Palin will win the national debates and likely go on to victory.

You would think a Supreme Court Judge would be wise, mature and professional. Wow, sad to see someone on the court who is so emotionally unwell and stunted. Not a good sign for people going before him.
The Supreme Court started tanking in 2000. Why should it exclude itself from the trifecta?
Alito never should have been appointed to the Supreme Court, glad that both Biden and Obama voted against him. Thank goodness that some very good justices will now be appointed by our new President Obama.
