He has made and confirmed good pick. But Sec. of State (important position) is not finalised.... Some names has been thrown around such as Clinton, Richardson or even Mc Cain.... I suppose what supporters or non-supporters can contribute to comment on the suitability of these options to help Prez Obama to made the wise choice.

"Jarrett was born in Shiraz, Iran, where her father, Dr. James Bowman, ran a hospital for children as part of a program that sent American doctors and agricultural experts to developing countries to help jump-start their health and farming efforts. At age 5, the family moved to London for one year, then returned to Chicago in 1963." This "she was born outside of the USA" tactic just doesn't work in the post-Bush era. People will no longer be governed by fear. Regarding the "she was born in Syria" comment: people should really get their facts straight.

To those who say "Where's the change?" because Obama is picking and considering a lot of heavy hitters who have been around politics for a while, he's picking people who know the landscape and the WAY he uses them is how he will accomplish change. It's also smart, because people who don't think he has enough experience to be President can see that he's picking a lot of people who have a lot of experience, and those people will be calmed down by his picks of wise and experienced people who can accomplish change because they are knowledgeable of how things work and of what needs to be changed and how to change it.
