Obama's Cabinet & Cabinet level positions

Plus, he's flat-out dismissive of corn-based ethanol -- cellulosic is a much better option, and he's willing to say so.

Hoenstly its basically a play straight out of "Team of Rivals," that is you go and get the person who is singularly most qualified to hold a post regardless of what their politics look like. If you get a whole bunch of truly smart people runnign their agencies and a President they all respect and who can get consensus or impose consensus as case may be then you get action.

Too lazy to list other high level staff, but many of those posts have been filled/created as well.

I was just reading about how Bush made the alteration to the Sec State's salary so Hillary could fill the post, and the comments by the retards on CNN's website are mind boggling. So many of them think that Dubya was altering the constitution simply because they mentioned the constitutional law that prevents a senator from taking a higher paying position whose salary increase they approved, when he didn't actually change anything in the constitution at all, just the salary itself. Christ on a stick I hate stupid people.
