Default Fantasy Presidential Cabinet - Pick Your Nominees

OK, rules of the game: Pick candidates from both sides of the aisle, or from the middle or 3rd parties to fill key positions of the Presidential Cabinet.

You must pick at least 2 candidates who are Republican, and 2 who are Democrat - Independents can be picked, but the Rep/Dem slots must be filled.

You can, for example, pick an Independent for President, and fill the Cabinet with partison people, as the example shows.

There are 21 cabinet positions besides the President in the current administration. United States Cabinet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We'll simplify it and stick with 7 core positions:

1 President: Ron Paul
2 Vice-President: Barak Obama
3 Sec of State: Hillary Clinton
4 Sec of Defense: Joe Biden
5 Sec of Treasury: Mitt Romney
6 Sec of Homeland Security: Rudy Guliani
7 Sec of Energy: Sarah Palin

(apologies if your particular 'pet position' has been left out)

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
