I Gave You Power



I dont usually mess with Fox News, but they make a great point about the exclusion of John Kerry in Obama's cabinet announcements.

Kerry is possibly the earliest Obama supporter, giving the then-relatively-unknown Senator a spotlight during the 2004 Democratic National Convention.

When Obama decided to run for President, Kerry was on board early and spoke for Obama often. Kerry has been named Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, but that's a huge step down from the Secretary of State position Obama just gave to Hill Dawg.

I don't know whether to take that as Obama isn't playing favorites, or whether he's turning his back on the people who rode for him when nobody believed (Gov. Jim Doyle of Wisconsin, another key early Obama supporter, hasn't been appointed to a cabinet position either), but it's very interesting.
