Pondering an Obama Cabinet

by anderson

Speculation about the composition of Obama's cabinet appears to be the order of the day in a few circles. None of it is confirmed, of course, but this would be great news:

President-elect Barack Obama is strongly considering Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to head the Environmental Protection Agency, a Cabinet post, Democratic officials told Politico.

After eight years of industry hacks wrecking havoc on environmental law, what a breath of fresh air this would be. Literally.

I'd rather have someone with a basic understanding of science.

Oh, please. It's not like he was running around saying this himself, just making it up. Scientists within the FDA, the CDC, and the WHO were alarmed at the initial findings of CDC epidemiologist Tom Verstraeten.

He's not a scientist. But he is a life-long advocate for environmental policy, which is what we need in there after eight years of policy written and administered by industry tools.
