Who cares who Obama would choose? He's so immature and raw I wouldn't be surprised if he has his kindergarten classmates with him.

Uh, Roy, every president makes a big show of naming a few people from the other party to his Cabinet. Bush did that too with "Underperformin' Norman" Mineta at Transportation, whose TOP priority, after 9/11, was making absolutely sure, with strict enforcment, that airlines paid no special attention to combat-age men who seemed as if they might be Muslims, and that everyone be searched equally, even elderly Norwegian grandmothers.

Bush was quite bipartisan in Texas, and wrongly assumed that DC Democrats would be like the culturally conservative, easygoing types he knew and worked with closely in Austin, like Lt. Gov. Bob Bullock. He naively walked right into the buzzsaw of the Chuck Schumers, Pat Leahys and others were lying in wait.

I think the brilliance of those opposed to Obama speaks for itself here ...

Surrrrrrrrrrre he will appoint Republicans in his cabinet and I will be his choice for VP. Get a grip. The guy is just trying to get the Liberal Republican vote by saying this stuff. Besides, the Dem Congress would never approve. More pie in the sky from a Dem.... go figure.

An excellent article on Senator Obama. I applaud all the positive comments posted here. Having met Senator Obama several times, I can attest to the fact that he is as genuine in person as he is out on the campaign trail. I have a great deal of respect for him as well as his wife Michelle, who gave a great interview on the news last night.

I'm surprised he didn't name Arlen Specter to some post... he certainly fits the RINO mold of the names he dropped!

Who was the last President to "unite" America? Reagan? And before him? Eisenhower? FDR? Unity means putting a lid on endless, pointless criticism. All you negative people think you are so smart because you see everyone else's faults. How about bringing some unifying solutions to the table?

Oh come to grips. The Dems aren't going to do anything more than now except create a Carter administration. Here they have complete control of the house and still can't get anything done.

I wouldn't worry about these things everyone is talking about anyway. The Dems bumbled so bad this year while they had a chance and instead they have the lowest approvals in American History.

Unless you guys really decide to clean house, like Pelosi and the likes, you'll blow it again.

This whole bi partisanship thing is ridiculous. No one votes for moderates. You vote for winners. Someone who believes in something.

Wow. talk about a bunch of idiots. Wow.

Obama comes across as a true weakling.
Cowardice in terms of foreign policy, acquiescence in terms on foreigners invading our country, but full speed ahead on looting the earnings of the most productive members of society. He is as big a dolt as the buffoon hillary.

I think it is funny that Obama's idea of diversity in his cabinet is to add Republicans. George W. Bush had one of the most diverse cabinets in history and the dems found something wrong with every candidate until they either had to resign or did not get approved in the first place. However, I guarantee that if Obama surrounds himself with white men in his cabinet (like the three he mentioned) no one will claim that he is against diversity, because he is black. The dems demand diversity in the cabinet but if you are a republican it will never be good enough, that is one belief system the tolerant just can not tolerate.

Obama brings a real chrisma to this office that has been lacking for sometime. Bush was put in a tough spot with 9-11 but instead of rising to a challenging situation, he fumbled. Clinton won't fare much better.

Lets put Barack in power, be nice to have someone that isn't poisoned into ignoring the ideas of others just because they come from across the isle.

On a sidenote: I don't think he can place Arnold in a Cabinet position since he's foreign born and cabinet official have the potential to ascend to the presidency if there is a catastrophe.

I am not voting for a candidate because they are a woman, because they have held office, been first lady or because they are half black. They better bring some solutions without growing government, have answers to problems facing this great nation and have voted in the past the way I would have voted, period. We can look at their voting record to see their true colors.

Ah...so Obama TOO will pander to folks on either side of the aisle. I bet Hillary is upset that he trumped her "send Bush '41 on a mission" tactic.

Well then maybe he should find some real republican's. These three are liberal leaning Rino's.

How could anyone support Obama, a person who will not put his hand on his heart and recite the "Pledge of Alligance"?

"George W. Bush had one of the most diverse cabinets in history"

Ok Joe, name ONE Democrat in President Bush's cabinet. ONE. Oh, wait, there AREN'T ANY! I think you need to go back to 2nd grade and learn the definition of diversity.

Bush put in a diverse cabinet of neo-con Yes Men. When they disagreed with him,they were replaced.

As a Hollywood Liberal, I have been very surprised in Arnold. I think he's been one of the best progressive gov in California History.

It is time to put an end to the my way or the highway mentality

That is just my point Dominic, diversity is not about being a republican or democrat, it is about ethicity and cultural background. When we start believing that political affiliation is equal to race struggles we are in trouble. I do not care if Obama or Bush the opposing party on their cabinets, but when they are demanded to be diverse by the congress and the american people, they are rarely talking about political party. And of course you insult me in your post, why can't democrats have an actual debate without getting nasty, I did not call any names, I just posted facts, once again my point about tolerance is true, dems are good at tolerance, they tolerate anyone who agrees with them.
