Obama’s Cabinet roundup

Jim Riley

8th December 2008

It’s getting to that time of year when this blogger starts looking for material for the end of term Politics quiz. This year big prizes are on offer: Supreme Court gavel pencils, diaries, Obama stickers (yahoo!). So I thought I’d do a quick scan to see who Obama’s latest Cabinet pickes were.

This page on the New York Times site does a good overview of the new - and potential - team.

It’s a shame that Arnie seems to have disappeared from the reckoning, but at least there is a ripple of excitement to be had in consdireing the exotically named Cassandra Quin Butts.
