President-elect Obama, (that sounds almost as good as President Obama), will take Senators out of the positions they now have. This nation fought hard to get a D controlled Congress. If there are 58,59,60 Senators, why would he tear apart that margin?

While we all speculate to some degree, I think that looking at the situation realistically is the best way to go. Obama is not a stupid man, I seriously doubt he will strip friendly Senate seats to fill a cabinet. Watching the news dogs, I am sitting here thinking that they are doing little more than fan the fires of discord. They know as much as we do about Obama's plan for filling the Cabinet.

All I hope for is the best and brightest. People who will be adept at their jobs, uphold the Constitution and respect the Laws and People of this great nation. We shall see who is selected, there is time, and the last thing we need are people in a Cabinet who will be little more than "Yes Men/Women".

Speculation is fine, to a degree, but we all should realize that we do not have a crystal ball, and the decision is ultimately up to Obama. I don't think he'll do anything to harm the nation. Remember, this is a 180 from the current monstrous regime, Obama leaves stupidity at the door, whereas bush and his cronies invited in and fed it.
