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.

So then you agree that McCain wouldn't have likely picked the same faceless bureaucrats.
Of course he would. Problem is with the positions they are filling, not themselves. Beyond, the State and Defense and a few others nobody really knows what the rest are doing. Name one thing that the Secretary of Labor has done for labor. How much corn can Agriculture secretary take credit for in a year?
Yeah, right, of course.

Secretary of Labor - lots of important stuff. Just one example of many: oversees OSHA. Lax enforcement leads to much more dangerous conditions for workers.

Secretary of Agriculture - also lots of important stuff. Just one example of many: oversees inspection services to make sure food is safe. Kinda important, dontcha think.
