SocraticGadfly: More discussion on Obama Cabinet and staff

More discussion on Obama Cabinet and staff

And more financial neolibs

In addition to the oft-bruited name of Larry Summers, other Clinton neolibs that could make an Obama cabinet include Laura Tyson, Gene Sperling and Robert Rubin.

Yep, that all spells “change” in my book. NOT.

Daschle as Chief of Staff? Sen. Milquetoast? I doubt Daschle would want it anyway. But, if Obama feels he must reward him, fob him off with the U.N. ambassadorship?

Penny Pritzker? If she actually gets in the Obama administration, and not just a GOP-style bought-and-sold ambassadorship, that will be a sign of the Obama Administration’s political hackery.

Susan Rice would be a semi-new voice on foreign policy, but unless Obama pulls back from the idea of pounding more sand down the Afghanistan rathole, we won’t get much change there either.
