Barack Obama’s Latest Appointees
Some have looked at the list of Obama’s latest appointees and said that Obama has thrown his supporters under the bus. Others say his selections are nothing less than masterful.
We, at the LA Progressive, have decided not to weigh in. . .yet. Instead of giving you our opinion, we’ve compiled a list of the appointees that have been announced so far and attached links to each of their names so that you can read a little about each of his selections. For consistency, all of the links will take you to Wikipedia.
For good measure, we threw in the entire line of succession to the Presidency which includes Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi and President pro tempore, Robert Byrd.
