Who is the worst President ever?

It is possible that a liberal-to-moderate Republican president would pick Timothy Geithner for Secretary of the Treasury, and of course Obama kept Robert Gates at Defense, at least for a while. I can also see a liberal-to-moderate Republican president picking Ken Salazar for Interior, Ray LaHood for Transportation and Arne Duncan for Education.

But McCain is not liberal-to-moderate, he is moderate-to-conservative. And there is no freaking way in the universe that a Republican would pick Hillary Clinton for State, Hilda Solis for Labor, Stephen Chu for Energy, or Tom Vilsack for Agriculture. Not a chance, ever, not if the world depended on it, would a Republican choose a pro-labor Secretary of Labor, or an Energy Secretary who believes in finding alternative energy sources. Nuh-uh, not ever.

Picking Hillary for some cabinet post is so up McCain's alley. Former colleague, Democrat in the cabinet, reaching across the aisle, you get the point. It is so McCain. As for the rest, they are all faceless bureaucrats that will be forgotten within weeks. They are often presiding over departments that themselves have no useful function and the country did just fine for 200 years without them. Exxon finds the oil, refines it and delivers to the corner gas station and employs millions in the process. They are the department of energy.
