[Peace-discuss] Fw: FOCUS | Harold Meyerson: Labor's Fresh Face

[Jenifer Cartwright]

What's the reaction to Arne Duncan, Obama's new Sect'y of Education? I like some of the things he sez (e g using schools as community improvement centers) but not others (e g merit pay for teachers).

FINALLY and suprisingly,

Obama picked someone who is decent to his cabinet, Hilda Solis for Sec. of Labor.

Link to story below.

Thanks, Dave.  There's approval in many quarters for some of Obama's environmental appointments also.

FOCUS | Harold Meyerson: Labor's Fresh Face

Harold Meyerson, The Los Angeles Times: "When Barack Obama set out to choose his secretary of Labor, his top priority was probably not recruiting an emblematic Angeleno. But in tapping Hilda L. Solis, a Democrat who represents a portion of the San Gabriel Valley in Congress, that's just what he's done."
