It's easy to sit back and get pulled down into the morass. I was there for a sec. But then I thought, wait a minute, why did I vote for Obama? Was it because I expected specific changes in policy or because I was looking to just see certain specific individuals elevated into some fancy title?

Fact is, despite who becomes Secretary of HHS, Commerce, etc, the POLICY will be decided by Obama. The Secretaries will basically carry out those policies with rule-making, regulation, budgetary concerns, and oversight. The POLICY will be well-defined and they can't really go outside of that POLICY.

I'm more interested in what OBAMA thinks and plans to do rather than what warm body he plants in the office who will be required to carry it out.

The Democrats in Congress will have more of an effect on the POLICY of Obama's administration than the actual Secretaries will. They will determine if his legislation gets out of congress in one piece or even if it will even see the light of day.
