Post you presidential dream team

[aaroh]

President: Barack Obama
VP: Governor Kathleen Sebelius
Secretary of State: Bill Richardson
Secretary of Defense: Wesley Clark
Secretary of Environment: Al Gore

[bhikkhu]

1. Is there a primary role for Edwards?

Or supreme court nominee, when the time comes?

[aaroh]

2. department of health and human services should fit him in nicely

[newmajority]

4. Edwards should be Attorney General

and turn him loose on the corporations. Starting with: 1) Oil companies 2) Media conglomerates 3) The corporate health care industry.

[aaroh]

5. I'd prefer Kucinich for AG

[Norrin Radd]

12. I'll second Kooch.

[ColbertWatcher]

13. Kucinich: Sec of Energy. n/t

[newmajority]

24. Both would go after the same people

But I believe Edwards would be better at the "lawyer" aspects of it.

I'd like to see Dennis in charge of health care reform. He already has a plan which is better than Obama's and far better than Hillary's Romneycare II.

John tears apart EXXON and FAUX. Dennis tears apart corporate hospitals and big pharma.

Everybody wins.

3. Veep: Either Clark, Richardson, or the Montana guy - depending on which...

... can deliver to most to the general election.

6. I like Napolitano from AZ (I think). But who knows what might

go into this calculation? I'm not big on Clark, and I know I'm in the minority.

[BlooInBloo]

9. That's ok - our bench is deep. :)

[newmajority]

27. Napolitano is an interesting choice for veep

Obama almost has to pick a governor as a running mate. Two senators ain't gonna cut it, especially if McLoony picks a governor (and Romney is a strong possibility for him). A woman governor would end this ridiculous "sexist" crap being thrown out by some of the desperate Hillbots. And a Western governor might help flip some mountain states, though obviously Arizona is McLoon's home territory, so it's not a guaranteed pick up.

Richardson's resume is better, though. And New Mexico possibly easier to win. Hell, McCain might win AZ in a landslide, with people voting for him just to get rid of him :evilgrin:

[mcctatas]

7. Obama/Feingold...

SOS: Richardson
SOD: Webb
Att. Gen.: Edwards
Chief of Staff: Michelle Obama!

[rwheeler31]

8. No

[Cant trust em]

10. I don't think that there's a Dept. of the Environment. Maybe the Dept. of the Interior?

[aaroh]

22. there's none in bush's admin, just make one up, obama thinks outside the square

[Spider Jerusalem]

11. ...

President: Barack Obama
Vice-President: Jim Webb
Secretary of State: Bill Richardson
Secretary of Defense: Joe Biden
Attorney General: John Edwards

[redstate_democrat]

14. I think this one is a winner!

[merh]

30. John Kerry for Attorney General

A special cabinet post to deal with poverty for Edwards.

Kerry should get the chance to pursue the criminals that got away after the last "clean up after a bush", many in baby bush's admin are the same crooks. And Kerry has been supportive of Obama for some time - he has been behind him from the get go.

edited to add: Imagine the investigations into election fraud. :)

[WheelWalker]

15. Joe Biden and whoever he wants

[bhikkhu]

16. How about Homeland Security?

First I'd rename it - ditch the borrowed nazi crap.

But who for the post?

[Spider Jerusalem]

17. Zinni?

Retired general, national security credentials plus administrative experience.

[KansasVoter]

18. Obama/Biden

[bhikkhu]

19. Didn't Reagan shut down the dept of energy?

I think we really, seriously, need a Department of Energy and Environment. Two sides of the same coin, and Gore would be the one for that.

[aaroh]

20. oh yeah offer ralph nader and mike gravel something in exchange for them dropping out :)

[chknltl]

21. If you're gonna' dream, dream BIG:

President: Thomas Jefferson
Vice president: Franklin Roosevelt
Secretary of State: John Kennedy
Secretary of Defense: Dwight Eisenhower
Secretary of Environment: Al Gore
Attorney General: Jon Conyers
Press Secretary: NanceGreggs

Dreaming smaller:

President: Barrack Obama
Vice President: Patty Murray
Secretary of State: Joe Biden
Secretary of Defense; Hillary Clinton
Secretary of Environment: Al Gore
Attorney General: Jon Conyers
Press Secretary: Hissyspit*

* (Why change-out NanceGreggs for Hissyspit? Secretary of Education: NanceGreggs ...that's why)

[grasswire]

23. okay, I'll play

Gore
Edwards
sec state Joe Wilson
defense Chuck Hagel (coupled with strong Congressional oversight)
AG Mario Cuomo or Feingold

[elocs]

25. Clark is not eligible to be Sec. of Defense until 2010.

By statute the secretary must be a civilian who has not served in the active component of the armed forces for at least 10 years (10 USC Sec. 113). He retired in 2000.

[aaroh]

29. hmmm...never knew that

[elocs]

31. It's come up before here. n/t

[CalGator]

26. mine

POTUS: Barack Obama
VEEP: Kathleen Sebelius or Tim Kaine or Bill Richardson (either is fine by me)
SoS: Bob Graham or Joe Biden
SoD: Jim Webb (if not VP, let Kaine appoint himself the replacement for his Senate seat since Kaine is term limited in a year anyway)

[lligrd]

28. Don't Leave Boxer Out

She's been loyal to the progressive cause and deserves something. Besides, she's one of my personal favorites!

[damndude]

32. president - barack obama

vice president - russ feingold
sec state - colin powell
sec defense - chuck hagel
