Obama's Cabinet: Start With Al Gore

Richard Cohen at the Washington Post makes his case for Al Gore for Secretary of State in Obama's new Cabinet.
"Can you imagine a bolder statement about a new direction when it comes to global warming and the general care of our abused planet? Gore has won a Nobel Peace Prize for his work in this area (and an Oscar, to boot), and his appointment would signal a dramatic shift from the indifference of the Bush era with its cold shoulder to the Kyoto treaty. In one stroke, the United States would emerge as the leader of nations in the effort to save the planet from ourselves -- and could prepare for the consequences of a changed world."
Does Obama want a Clinton guy in the White House? The article includes a few more of Cohen's choices for other Cabinet positions.
