The Obama Dream Team

In Foreign Policy magazine's current issue, they're running a story about who would be best suited for Obama's cabinet.  Here are a few suggestions I found interesting/ amusing:

"Arnold Schwarzenegger: Secretary for Energy and the Environment
The Governator has proven himself to be a get-the-job-done environmentalist who commands international respect. To address this increasingly vital area properly, the next president must view energy and the environment as two sides of the same coin."  --Christoph Bertram (image from biographyonline.com)

"Sarah Palin: U.S. Ambassador to Russia
The governor’s taste for hunting, plain-spoken talk, and foxy boots—not to mention long years of staring at Russia from Alaska—ensure a special relationship with Putin."  --Gideon Rachman (image from savagepolitics.com)

"Al Gore and Van Jones: Energy Security Council Co-Chairs
Because global warming is going to be catastrophic, we need to end our dependence on fossil fuels while simultaneously creating well-paid, green-collar jobs. No other nation has the power to get others to the table, and nobody can do it better than the former vice president and the founder of the advocacy group Green for All."  --Katrina Vanden Huevel (image from solarnavigator.net)

Of course, some of the other names being tossed around (both for serious and comedic consideration) include Hilary Clinton, Warren Buffet, Michael Bloomberg, Bill Bradley, Robert Gates, Steve Forbes and Suasan Rice.  You can vote for your top picks here.
