What would a Clinton/Obama/McCain/Romney Presidential Cabinet look like?
Vanity | 1-31-08 | SeafoodGumbo

Posted on 01/31/2008 12:33:02 PM PST by SeafoodGumbo

Who do you think would be selected for the most important Cabinet positions?

Defense
Homeland Security
Attorney General
State

The full Cabinet:

The Cabinet includes the Vice President and the heads of 15 executive departments-the Secretaries of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs, and the Attorney General. Under President George W. Bush, Cabinet-level rank also has been accorded to the Administrator, Environmental Protection Agency; Director, Office of Management and Budget; the Director, National Drug Control Policy; and the U.S. Trade Representative.

I think Hildy would appoint him as Ambassador to the U.N.

Can you imagine being McCain's SecDef. You'd be second guessed all the way from the Pentagon parking lot to your desk and back again....every day.

He was a squadron commander - but has illusions of being a war strategist.

Yes, painful.

But John Kerry ain’t supporting Obama for no payback. Plus this would fit the Democrats’ “victim” (of a stolen election) storybook to a T.

The moonbat base is still looking for a way to eek out revenge against the Swiftboat veterans. John Kerry could end up as head of Veteran Affairs.

How so?

I see a big difference between say, Tommy Franks as Secretary of Defense and John Murtha or John Kerry as Secretary of Defense.

One point was raised about McCain after the debate by Bill Bennett was why would McCain appoint Justices like Alito and Roberts when they would likely overturn his crowning achievement McCain/Feingold?

The best things about McCain are that he will probably be a one termer, his Justices will be moderates instead of liberals and he will destroy the Hillary/Bill political force in America. He gives John Edwards voters a place to go and a number of male Democrats.

Here's a quote from a friend who wants to vote Dem but can't "Good God I mean give yourselves a chance, a bitch and a Muslim?"

Yes, and think about the jacket blurb written by the Democrat Party:

Long-suffering and maliciously maligned Viet Nam Vet is vindicated and finally positioned to "support the troops" the Democrat way!

Homeland Security or Defense -- Clark
Treasury -- Frank Giustra (except he's Canadian) :-)
Interior -- Al Gore
Justice -- John Edwards
Commerce -- Arnold Schwarzenegger

Obama’s VP = Algore.

Obama’s EPA = Patrick Kennedy.

If it’s a very close nomination fight, Hildy will have to choose Obama as her VP.

He’ll accept even though he doesn’t want to.

But it’ll set him up for 8 years as Pres if he does.

Will they include this photo on the press release for the John Kerry appointment?

You know, I “feel” that photo in the pit of my stomach every time I see it.

You would think the Rats would be a little wary of revisiting all the baggage that goes with John Kerry. But I bet they’re not.

They honestly believe that “most people” “know” John Kerry is an honorable war hero who was viciously and maliciously maligned by the tools of the VRWC.

I would think Obama's appointments to, say, HHS and Education would reflect this type of influence:

Obama's Gay Gold Mine.

As Rush has been saying for years: “You never win by losing.”

________________________________

I’d agree with that I think. We’re looking more at O’Conner/Kennedy types of picks than Scalia/Roberts/Alito/Thomas types with McCain probably. Much better than the leftists that will be forced down our throats for 30 years on the court by the Clintons.

I have always figured Wesley Clark would be Hillary’s choice for VP. Unless she is forced to take Obama for party unities sake.
