CNN

I always liked him and some of Obama's other choices make his cabinet appear like good ideas might come from it

Good show! This team just keeps getting better and better with real diversity for a change and not just a token or two. All these individuals are top notch. How novel having competent and talented people advising the president for a change, people who will challenge the president not just a bunch of yes men cronies from Crawford.
Little Rock, AR

Great Man – one who can really make a difference!

Off topic: Schummer? Obama already said he'd leave Fitzgerald in!! Can someone PLEASE let Obama be Obama! And can CNN allow for more than a few posts on certain stories? The way you pick and choose is so incredibly biased!

Ray Fisher, I'm hoping for Dr. Oz for sugeon general...he believes in prevention and that medical treatment should be a right for all of us. Remember, he's Oprah's go-to for educating us all, he operated on Bill Clinton, and he is inspiring.

this is absolutely horrible. so much for "change". obama has done nothing but brought back the same old hacks that ruined everything all over again. this recession will be a depression and the chinese will be on our doorstep before you know it along with anyone else that wants to invade. kiss your hineys goodbye now while you still have the chance to pucker up.

Awesome! The energy team so smart. The health and human services team so smart. 3/4 the battle is sound planning, and 1/4 is rolling up the sleeves and getting to work. Obama's entire administration is already waiting and excited to work. Change=Work.

Looking for a needle in a hay stack is very easy when you use a magnet and keep probing. Excellent choice by the Obama team. We are on schedule having a Daschle magnet pulling out the health care problems.

More bleating from the Hannity/Rush sheep.
Daschle has lots of experience and can hit the ground running. You guys did a lot of whining about an energy secretary-designee with no experience. It is time for big changes, not the time to wait and see or worse.

Don't worry,change is coming. But, then again, anything is better than what we got now.

BY THE WAY, IS THIS THE SAME TOM DASCHLE THAT KILLED A YOUNG LADY IN WASHINGTON DC AWHILE AGO. A YOUNG LADY WHO WAS HIS MISTRESS AND HER REMAINS WAS FOUND IN THE PARK? IS THAT THE SAME TOM DASCHLE? I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW, HE WAS NOT INVOLVE ETC. ETC. ETC. BUT JUST FOR THE REST OF US TO UNDERSTAND. IS HE OR IS HE NOT THE ADULTERER WHOSE GIRL FRIEND OR MISTRESS'S BODY WAS FOUND IN THE PARK? SOMEONE ENLIGHTEN US. CNN THIS IS THE STUFF YOU SHOULD DIG INTO. LET US KNOW WOULD YOU?

I wonder who paid for Obama's Senate seat?

He is a brilliant man and will do a wonderful job.

DID ANYONE SEE THIS? ALL WHITE CABINET AND A TOKEN BLACK. WOO WHAT A CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN? WE TOLD YOU, YOU DID NOT BELIEVE US. YOU THROW EVERYTHING AT US AND HIDE OBAMA "THE CLOWN" BEHIND HIS MEDIA DARLINGS. NOW THE HOUSE OF CARDS IS BEGINNING TO FALL. HE IS ASKING FOR RESIGNATION AS ORDINARY AMERICAN WHO DOES AND DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. CONTINUE TO FOOL THE GULLIBLE OBAMA "THE CLOWN". THEY DESERVE IT.

Most of these public 'servant' people would never make it in the 'outside' world.(Outside politics) Thus once they have held a public office, they just float from one public park bench to another.

Another DC insider career politician... shocker. Change you can believe in!

Docs 3 is not a doctor.

Or else he'd understand how ludicrous universal healthcare is. Just remember this, nothing is free.

Great choice,or so im told.

PERHAPS DR. OZ SHOULD BE TAPPED FOR SURGEON GENERAL. AT LEAST HE EXPLAINS THINGS THAT A NORMAL PERSON CAN UNDERSTAND.

I'm Happy!

Hey Senator Tom Daschle, you better move quick. Because Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is lusting for your Health & Human Services cabinet post.

WE AS DOCTORS WELCOME THIS CHOICE. WE ARE SPLIT ON UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE BUT IF HE CAN MAKE IT POSSIBLE SO BE IT. AS LONG IT IS FOR THE PEOPLE. NOT THE DRUG COMPANIES, INSURANCE BUSINESSES AND THE POLITICIANS TO LINE THEIR POCKETS. WE ARE ONLY ABOUT 45 MILLION PEOPLE SHORT FROM HAVE IT AT THE PRESENT TIME. THAT IS LESS THAN 20% OF THE TOTAL POPULATION. OUR NUMBERS MAY NOT BE EXACT BUT THE LOGIC IS LOUD AND CLEAR. IT IS FOR THE PEOPLE
SAKE !!!!!!!!.

oh yeah. I am happy.

Daschle will be good for our health care plans. I hope our next surgeon general is another Dr. Koop or maybe President Obama will be paging Dr. Gupta???

Must drive the Republicans nuts to see Daschle back in Washington playing a major role in Obama`s cabinet! You can`t keep a good man down.

They're baaaack!!! We need problem solvers not problem makers.

This is a poor choice for Health and Human Services. Daschle and his wife are Beltway beneficiaries. A much better choice would have been someone who has gone through the ranks of implementing, regulating, directing health and human services agenices. What was Obama thinking?

Great another defeated Senator coming back to Washington D.C. What happen to the change if the change how about a new face somebody from a state goverment?

I voted for and support Obama but I am disappointed with how few women he has chosen thus far. I hope this changes asap.

When are you picking Joe the plummer for a position ?(just kidding)that guy is a joke...now he say's he's appalled by some of the conversations he had with McCain.He is about as big a liar as they come.During the campaign he was behind McCain and now he throws him under the bus.Why wasn't he honest with the american people then about McCain and why now?because he want to make money with interviews and books.Boy McCain really knew how to pick them didn't he.... a dizzy I love Lucy(Palin) and a household cleaner Mr Clean (Joe the Plummer) no wonder McCain lost the election

Ok....good choice.

Great choice president elect.Your cabinet is looking good heading into the next 4 or 8 years.These choices will make your presidency supreme.Out with the old politics in with the new.There are those I'm certain will continue to criticize your choices but your not going to please everybody it's their problem not yours because some won't be happy no matter what.This is a new era of change and you will make it happen I just hope you'll be given a chance before people start being cynical

Mr. Obama needs to get his defense team ready before any more
appointees.

Good, move on Obama. That governor in Illinois is giving me the blues. Up and onward to a better America.

Daschle is a talented man and it will be good to see him back in the public arena. He's an excellent choice for HHS........one more star being appointed to the cabinet. Obama will have the best people possible around him.

I don't like it that you all brag about predicting the future. That's a turn-off, CNN. Sounds like campbell brown and wolf blitzer egos. I want news, not crystal ball stuff.

Tom Dascle will be great! He is a wonderful pick. Good luck to you all!

Politics as usual... This is change ?????????Obama LIED again
