Posts Tagged ‘Obama’s cabinet’
With many Latinos in the mainstream blogosphere feeling snubbed by President Elect Obama passing over Bill Richardson as Secretary of State, the focus is shifting to who are the other Latinos in Obama’s cabinet, feeling that a Latino in the cabinet will mean that our interests are looked out for. Apprently no one learned from Alberto Gonzales’s time that having a Latino in and of itself doesn’t guarantee a damn thing.
Another Latino in the Obama White House is Cecilia Muñoz, senior vice president for the Office of Research, Advocacy, and Legislation at the National Council of La Raza (NCLR). She was named as Director of Intergovernmental Affairs, coordinating the White House’s relations with local and state governments.
The New Head of Homeland Security and Her Friends in Ugly Places

President-elect Obama has made another cabinet pick, Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano to head the always troubled Department of Homeland Security. The decision is being praised left and right because of her experience inside the border state and a “practical” attitude. And while I suppose being practical might be useful in a national government post, it doesn’t bode well for the millions of immigrants hoping that the change line Obama has been feeding people includes them and their families.
That’s what the British newspaper the Guardian reports.
Hillary Clinton plans to accept the job of secretary of state offered by Barack Obama, who is reaching out to former rivals to build a broad coalition administration.
Y Ahora Que? Plan the Obama Cabinet!

So who will be in President Obama’s cabinet and will there be any Latinos in there?
Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.) apparently just accepted to be Obama’s Chief of Staff.
Emanuel, who at 49 is two years older than Obama, is the Democratic Caucus chairman, the fourth-highest-ranking member of the House Democratic leadership.
Emanuel was known for his hard-nosed tactics as a senior adviser to President Bill Clinton. After leaving the White House, he returned to Chicago as an investment bank managing director.
Bill Richardson’s name is being tossed around to possibly be Secretary of State.
Anyone you think should be on the Obama cabinet?
