Hilda Solis is one helluva great pick for Labor!

[Zomby Woof]

I was very happy this morning to learn that El Monte's very own Hilda Solis has been tapped to be our next Secretary of Labor. She had SOLID union cred, is tough, and will be an important part of President Obama's economic planning.

Take it from an Angeleno - this is one of the very best cabinet choices President-elect Obama made. :thumbsup:

2. here as well.

I should probably get this in now since education seems like it's going to be a free-fire zone. :)

9. would that I were that smart.

You know how I like to stand up in a hail of rhetorical fire. :D

4. In what way?

5. Yeah, she would have gone great with Becerra as trade representative

Instead now we're stuck with a "free trade" acolyte. Hopefully Becerra can lead the movement for better trade deals from within the House.

7. Sounds like a perfect fit for a highly important position.

:toast:

K and R

8. Second that

This is just as good as the energy pick. We are winning some of the time, anyway.

10. The Energy pick is my 2nd favorite

After these past 8 years, I will take whatever good news we can get, cabinet or policy-wise. It has been a desert of intellect and sound judgment.

I would have liked a better Interior pick (I am a National Parks activist), but again, gift horses and all, he isn't bad.
