Response post - Due 12/16

Respond to someone's post on their thoughts about Obama's choices for key positions. Be sure to respond to someone who hasn't been responded to. You can respond to their argument, critique their sources, and/or respond to what they didn't cover. Please cite your information.

Post Due 12/09

Instead of having you respond to someone from post 6 we're going to do something different. You'll answer this post, respond to someone's post, and then you'll respond to a post that someone wrote to you. We'll keep doing one a week so it's not an increase of posts just a change in our format. Thanks for being flexible.

Barack Obama has been announcing his picks for his top posts for his administration. What do his picks mean for his administration? What action/direction do you predict his team will take? What do his picks demonstrate about his commitments to his campaign promises? Do you agree or disagree with his choices? Are there key people or constituencies that you feel have been overlooked? Be sure to discuss at least one of his picks more in depthly. As usual cite your sources and do some research!
