- Ellen,
- I just wanted to say that I agree almost completely with your
- lengthly dissertation!
-
- My one caveat is your paragraph here. To say that you are sorry that
- there are no more of a particular group on his cabinet, is, I think,
- a shame. The real question is, are these people qualified? To the
- contrary of previous administrations, I believe that Clinton has
- appointed fully qualified people to his cabinet. Some of his
- choices may be too liberal for me and some of them may be too
- conservative to me, but at the bottom line are people who are absolutely
- qualified to be in these positions.
- Now if you want to single out women, it is obvious that he has
- appointed more women than anyone previously to positions of power. While
- it may not be enough, it certainly is a major step forward.
