    Default Jim Jones looking to be next National Security Advisor

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...l?hpid=topnews

    A good choice with a wealth of experience. Depending on how he runs his administration, the NSA can be the most powerful position (Powell under this job was very power in Reagan, more so I could argue than his Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State).

    His name is Jim Jones?

    Well... as long as he doesn't have people over for drinks.

    Haha, different Jim Jones (I hope).

    But he was the commander of NATO, along with being a special Presidential envoy so he has experience.

    Is Powell even being considered for anything? It seems the positions are being filled up fast.

    Is he officially rumoured/has been approached? Or is that your guess/desire?

    It is part of the web of speculation.

    Is the Education position that only one left? Is there a 'Health' position? Or 'Interior' Minister?

    There are a lot of positions (still Defense and Homeland Security of the big 4) but Education is the one he is speculated for based on his work there.

    Remaining Cabinet posts:

    Secretary of Defense
    Secretary of the Interior
    Secretary of Agriculture
    Secretary of Commerce
    Secretary of Labor
    Secretary of Health and Human Services

    Secretary of Energy
    Secretary of Education
    Secretary of Veterans Affairs
    Secretary of Homeland Security
    Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency
    Director of the Office of Management and Budget
    Director of the National Drug Control Policy
    United States Trade Representative

    National Security Adviser is not Cabinet but the Executive Office of the President

    Along with (the ones remaining):

    Assistant to the President for Strategic Initiatives & External Affairs
    Assistant to the President for Economic Policy and Director, National Economic Council
    Assistant to the President for International Economic Affairs
    Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy

    Assistant to the President and Counsel to the President

    Assistant to the President for Management, Administration and Oval Office Operations
    Assistant to the President for Appointments and Scheduling
    Assistant to the President for Presidential Personnel
    Assistant to the President and Staff Secretary
    Counselor to the President
    Assistant to the President for Communications (White House Communications Director)
    Assistant to the President and White House Press Secretary
    Assistant to the President for Speechwriting
    Director, White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives

    (Along with their deputies)

    Veteran Affairs? As in Army vets or pensioners? Seems unnecessarily specific if it's the former.

    Military Veterans.

    It runs a series of government funded hospitals that provide medical care for former military (though those with under 50% rated disability have to pay co payments), handles disability claims of former military, administers GI Bill money, and also run veteran's programs. Has a huge amount of employees.

    Well I guess you have a very large army, but I would have put it as a branch under the general 'Pensions Secretary' like we have here.

    I seriously hope Obama gets rid of the Department of Homeland Security. It's not much more than a violation of our civil liberties and a waste of money. Let the intelligence community do its job properly.

    Well, we need all the revenue we can get to start paying off this debt. DHS is a repetition of all of our intelligence agencies as well as the military.

    Exactly, Obama said he was going to create 2.5 million jobs not an extra couple of thousand unemployed. I think you're safe for now Lawrence.
