He’s less than two months away from his first day in office, but that isn’t stopping Barack Obama from getting all his cabinet positions filled.
President-elect Obama chose former rival Hillary Clinton as his Secretary of State this morning.
He says she is someone who can advance the country’s interest around the world.
Obama also announced he is keeping Defense Secretary Robert Gates. He says Gates won the confidence of U.S. commanders and others in the military.
Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano will head the Department of Homeland Security and Eric Holder was chosen as Attorney General.
