Obama Removing Elected Officials From Posts

Published on December 3, 2008 in News, Politics and Uncategorized. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , .

I was unsure how to phrase the title of this post, but it is interesting the number of prominent elected officials that have received appointments to the Obama administration. Taking another look at the title, it is way more negative than I intended to be. It sounds like Obama is going to issue executive orders this January to remove people from office. Clearly, that is not the case.

I’m not sure that I am politically astute enough to understand the motivation behind this yet. Maybe it is just a coincidence. Certainly, one can tell from this list that Obama is drawing from his contenders from the Democratic primary. If they had a shot at president, I suppose they might make a decent Secretary of State. On the other hand, there are plenty of qualified individuals to fill roles like that, potential great Secretaries of State don’t run around running for president usually.

What does everyone else think?

A quick look at some elected official entering the Obama administration:

Former-Senator Obama, himself
Senator Biden
Senator Clinton
Representative Emanuel
Governor Napolitano
Governor Richardson

If I’m missing anyone, let me know. Of course there are other appointments, I think this is all of the elected officials who will become Obama cabinet members. Should be an interesting 4 years.
