As of last week, speculations about possible Obama appointees to the President-Elect's Cabinet have begun to surface. Senator John Kerry, D-MA, has already shown interest in becoming the Secretary of State and has opted to leave his senatorial seat if Pres. Obama appoints him. Reports have also stated that Obama and his campaign advisors are scheduled to meet with a 17-member board of Economics to develop the President's new fiscal policies. Some surprise possible members would make Obama's Cabinet a bipartisan group, including Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-NE, as Secretary of Defense and Sheila Blair, Republican head of FDIC, as Secretary of the Treasury. There has also been some estimating of a soon to be open Supreme Court seat, with some buzz around a possible appointment of Cass Sunstein, constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago, or possibly Hillary Clinton.
Who would you put in Obama's Cabinet? What positions will be the most vital for a successful term for Obama?
