Obama Eyes Rahm Emanuel, John Kerry for Cabinet Positions
Should Sen. Barack Obama win the presidency tonight, plans are for his campaign to quickly start filling top jobs in the White House and cabinet. Leading the list for White House chief of staff is Chicago Rep. Rahm Emanuel, Obama's biggest House cheerleader and a former top aide in the Clinton White House. His appointment, say Democratic insiders, could come as early as Wednesday. Also, Obama is considering Sen. John Kerry, the 2004 presidential runner-up, as secretary of state, according to sources. That could change, however, if Obama running mate Joe Biden has questions about it. Obama would also like to pick a treasury secretary. Those choices would provide an anchor for his new administration to build around. "Obama knows he needs to move quickly, but he isn't going to be rushed into anything," says a key Democratic source.

Obama
Now that the nation has made the change for the better, let us now make the change to fully support our new president. Enough of the bickering and mud slinging, especially from press instigations. It's time to put our money where our mouth is and move foward to bring this country back into focus and balance on all levels, both nationally and internationally. The world is watching as the greatest nation on earth begins it's climb once again upward.
The company we Keep
There ia a lot to be learned of someone just by the company they keep. Nixon learned his lesson the hard way! I do hope for the countrys well being our new president makes better choices.
Please no John Kerry for secretary of state!!!!
I didn't vote for Obama to get Kerry as secretary of state. That would be a disaster.
