Know your Obama Cabinet members

By Jennifer J. Foster

If you watch “The Late Show with David Letterman,“ you’ve probably seen one of the segments Dave likes to call, “Know your (Current Events, Cuts of Meat, German World Cup Soccer Players, Pets of Celebrities, Overweight Bush Administration Officials, etc.).“

Of course, my favorite is the current events category. But then, I’ve never been much of a cook ... or a fan of E!

Anyway, CNN brings us a helpful take on Dave’s fun game: Click here to Know Your Obama Cabinet Members.

It’s not as easy as you may think. Sure, you know that Hillary’s heading State and that that dude who didn’t pay his taxes is now in charge of the IRS. But can you name the nation’s new energy, veterans’ affairs or interior chiefs? How about America’s new ambassador to the United Nations, or President Obama’s national security adviser?

Don’t worry; with a little time and effort, you can be impressing your fellow employees at the water cooler (i.e., “I really have high hopes for what Orszag will be able to do with OMB. He could really shake things up over there”).

And while we’re on the topic, anyone want to take any shots at who Obama will get for the still-vacant Commerce spot? I still like Alex Sink.
