Is there a place for Kucinich in Obama's Administration? Should there be?

[Blackhatjack]

I would love to see Kucinich get a cabinet position where he could do some good immediately. Put him in charge of Labor and wait for the wailing to begin.... would be music to our ears!

[davidinalameda]

1. maybe as director of NASA

so he can make contact with some more of his little green friends

[Lydia Leftcoast]

25. For somebody whose avatar says "stop hate"...

:eyes:

[The Magistrate]

32. That Is A Little Cold, My Friend

To say one has seen an object in the sky one cannot identify is a long way from belief in 'little green men' and the like....

[timtom]

34. Were you educated with comic books?

I want to think you're funny. Honest I do.

But you're not. Are you? C'mon, you can admit it. You're among friends. Aren't you?

[Whisp]

36. why would you want to demean and mock a good dem?

let me guess....

[Freddie Stubbs]

40. He is the guy who intrduced legislation to ban mind control devices from outer space

2. Uh...let's get him elected first.

[Delarage]

3. I hope so!

I love Dennis--in all the "candidate calculators" during the primaries, after I answered all the questions, he and Mike Gravel always came up as my top 2 choices. He's got serious balls and would be great as a labor secretary. Hell, I'd take him as V.P., but he's not telegenic and comes across as too intense (see the first reply to your posting). Don't get me wrong--I like Obama, but in a perfect world Dennis would be our candidate and would clean house and kick ass when elected.

[tritsofme]

4. No there's not.

And that's just the truth.

Any scenario with Kucinich in the cabinet is just fantasy.

[avaistheone1]

9. Gee and most people said that Obama chances for the presidency too

and looked what happened.

[KingOfLostSouls]

5. Janitor maybe?

[avaistheone1]

6. Picking up after Obama, eh?

Is that what you are refering to?

[KingOfLostSouls]

13. you can leave the party whenever you like

obama's the nominee


don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.

[avaistheone1]

14. If he insults everyone like you are illustrating

I wouldn't count on. There is no reason to be arrogant and rude. People withdraw their support when a person gets too full of themself and starts to step on others. That is what I am seeing here. That is not change people can believe. That is the same old bullshit.

[ecstatic]

7. I used to really admire him

He lost my trust somewhere along the way. I just don't believe him anymore. So, my answer is no.

[avaistheone1]

8. What did Kucinich do?

He at least he had the courage to support our Constitution and voted against telecom immunity.

[ecstatic]

10. Just can't get over his admiration of Ron Paul

I think he knows the passion many of us have, and he occasionally says or does something to get donations.

[avaistheone1]

12. I never heard Kucinich applauding Ron Paul.

However, Ron Paul does get a few things right. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

[avaistheone1]

16. By the same token

should we abandon Obama for his support of Reverend Wright - a relationship of what 20 years?

[mmonk]

22. I'm the opposite. He won my trust while the other "Democrats"

lost it.

[AnnieBW]

11. SecLabor!!!

That would be just fantastic!

[avaistheone1]

15. Great idea.

Dennis would triumph in that position.

[Arnold Judas Rimmer]

17. Health care Czar.

I really hate using a name for the long dead Russian monarchy for this sort of thing, but it's become the media word unfortuantely.

Dennis' health plan is the one we need. Let's put him in charge of it, and put the full power of the executive branch behind him.

[avaistheone1]

18. That sound even better.

I would love to see Kucinich taking to the media with his health care message.

[mmonk]

19. That would be a good idea.

[inthebrain]

20. I do like him for that as well

But I think he does serve best in the house. He keeps people on their toes and when he runs for pres kicks their asses in the debates (when he's given time).

Unfortunatly in a cabinet position we lose him on a lot of other issues. There are people better e;quipped to deal the the health care mess.

[zulchzulu]

21. I would offer Kucinich a position that works for peace in the Middle East

I don't know what the position would be named nor if the cabient position has yet to be made, but his message of wanting peace should not be joked about.

No, he doesn't look like Robert Redford or Tom Cruise. No, he's not some towering person physically. No, he doesn't have a radio voiceover professional's voice.

He does have a good message and it certainly would not hurt America and its interest in the World. Perhaps the World would like to have Kucinich in some capacity dealing with peace issues.

[avaistheone1]

23. I think Kucinich has said many times that he would like to see

a cabinet level Peace position.

[dansolo]

29. That is a joke

The whole notion of a Department of Peace is a farce, and complete pandering. If Dennis really wanted to promote peace, then he would select an advocate for peace as his Secretary of State. There is no need for a new cabinet position.

[AZBlue]

24. First we need to get him elected. Let's all work toward that instead right now.

[True_Blue]

26. U.S. Supreme Court Justice

He could do a lot of good there.

[Norrin Radd]

27. Yes, there should be. They should give us at least that.

Considering the choices for VP they are foisting upon us.

[MaineDem]

30. "They" and "us"

That's sad.

[Norrin Radd]

33. Sad, but true.

[WeDidIt]

28. I don't see any way Kucinich will be in the cabinet

None.

Sorry.

[BeyondGeography]

31. No. Yes.

[Runcible Spoon]

35. I can't believe the level of hostility for one of the few uncorrupted Dems we have.

Jayzus Keerist.

[Lilith Velkor]

37. No, and Yes

[Truth2Tell]

38. There should be...

but there isn't. Obama does not share DK's positions on the issues he cares the most about: NAFTA/Fair Trade, suicidal American militarism and the Bill of Rights. It would be great to see someone with DK's views as Sec Def, Attny General or Trade Rep.

But it aint gonna happen. We'll get a warmed over Clinton interventionist at Defense, a "put it behind us" appeaser as AG and a Wall Street corporatist for Trade.

I support Obama, but I do so with my eyes wide open.

[Odin2005]

39. I'd rather him be Speaker of the House. n/t.
