More Cabinet Picks

More cabinet picks from President-elect Obama:

Secretary of Labor: Rep. Hilda Solis (Democrat-CA)

Secretary of Transportation: Rep. Ray LaHood (Republican-IL)

U.S. Trade Representative: Mayor Ron Kirk (Democrat-Dallas)

Director of National Intelligence: Admiral Dennis Blair

For those who have been asking where the Republicans were, there ya go. LaHood at Transportation. That's the post Bush gave his token Democrat in 2001. (Although, it can be said that Norman Mineta's performance on 9/11 was stellar. Especially when compared to the deer-in-the-headlights performance of the Prez that day!) But Obama did go a bit further than Bush, keeping Bob Gates at Defense (I wouldn't have, but I'm not the President) and installing James Jones as National Security Adviser.
