Two People I'd Like To See In An Obama Administration In Some Capacity Are.......
1. Al Gore - I haven't seen or heard much of him lately.

2. Ron Reagan - I have a lot of respect for this son of a former president.

Also - since just before the election I haven't seen nor heard from Clare McCaskill. I thought for sure she'd be working in Obama's administration. She was the best spokesperson for Obama for the last 2 years.

I think most agree President Al Gore is great. In one of our collective worst moments, after what happened at Abu Grabi, his speech, gave me hope that the good part of America still existed and were willing to fight.

Also his sharing views of courage and perspective.

Whatever choice he wishes to pursue, if it is global warming, or more political causes, he has shown over and over, that he cares for what is right.

I liked Ron Reagan as a commentator also, don't see him as much, he use to be on TV alot more. I like alot of his views.

7. Al fell off the edge of the earth and was consumed by dragons about a year ago.
His profile was VERY low in the campaign.

9. Had a blonde moment and thought Michael there for a sudden...
.... and that was a SCARY thought.

As for Miss Claire, I thought she'd be in the administration too but I am MORE than happy to let her stay in the Senate.

Kathleen on the other hand ..... having her stay in Kansas does me no good at all. :)

10. How about Gary Hart for U.N. Ambassador?
I can't think of a more valuable statesman who's been so thoroughly underutilized.

12. I suspect Gore is through with government.
I would quite like to see him in an Obama administration, but I very much doubt he'd accept.
