Thoughts On Team Obama

Unless something unexpected happens at the confirmation hearings, it looks like we know the people who will be the key players in the Obama administration. There are a few liberals out there that think his choices have been too centrist and not “change” enough and there will always be conservatives who criticize everything he does; however, I think anyone looking at his appointments so far objectively has to be pretty damn impressed. He stated repeatedly in the campaign that he looked to have a cabinet from different parts of the political spectrum, with diverse life experiences, that are experts/accomplished in their field, and who are powerful enough in their own right to not just be yesmen or yeswomen as it were. He has delivered on that so far.

Secretary of State: Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton
National Security Advisor: Gen. James L. Jones
Secretary of Defense: Robert Gates
Treasury Secretary: Tim Geithner
Economic Council director: Larry Summers
