Howard has never made any attempts that I am aware of to try to persuade Obama to appoint him,
although sure, he would take it if offered.

Again, Howard has never even hinted that he deserved some kind of reward for the fantastic
job he did as DNC chairman. Of course, he didn't need to. It was obvious to most Democrats
that he should have been given a post comeasurate with his passion, ability, knowledge
and skills. That cried out for HHS. The only major individual that didn't seem to feel
this way (other than Rahm Emanuel) seems to be Obama himself--for reasons he only knows.
