奥巴马开始组阁

LIST FOR CABINET: Obama already has offered Illinois
Democrat Rahm Emanuel the position of chief of staff. It is likely
that Emanuel will accept -- and now Obama is focusing on filling
out the rest of his team. The President-elect is strongly
considering Robert F. Kennedy to be the head of the Environmental
Protection Agency and is weighing Kennedy's cousin, Caroline, for
the position of U.S. ambassador to the United Nations -- a move
that would please Sens. Hillary Clinton and Ted Kennedy, Politico
reported. If Obama chooses to oust Robert Gates as Defense
Secretary, Gen. Colin Powell has been short-listed as a candidate.
Powell's endorsement of Obama fueled speculation that the former
Secretary of State would be considered for a Cabinet position. But
the New York Daily News and New York Post report that Obama could
ask Gates to stay in the job. Sen. John Kerry is considered the
front-runner for the nation's top diplomat. The senator from
Massachusetts selected Obama to be the keynote speaker at the 2004
Democratic National Convention, where Obama delivered the
critically acclaimed speech that put him on the map.Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger was named as a potential candidate for Secretary of
Energy in late October. Others considered for top jobs are
Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell for Secretary of Energy and Chancellor
of New York City's Department of Education Joel
Klein.
