Presidential Appointment List - Senate Confirmation Required

The Drug Czar (0.00 / 0)

The cabinet level stuff is complete except for the Drug Czar. I suspect that the President Elect will be considerably less concerned about that office than his predecessor. I personally think that drug issues are better located in the office of the Surgeon General. By the way I believe that Obama is going to elevate the UN Ambassador to cabinet level since Dr. Rice is an important advisor.

Sims has been added (0.00 / 0)

We haven't added a lot of the others because they weren't announced officially by the White House - and we're not sure yet if all nominees will eventually be announced by the WH or not.

Re: Presidential Appointment List - Senate Confirmation Required (0.00 / 0)

The future of our country also lies on our hand. During election voters are being given the opportunity to choose what kind of future they want to have by choosing the politician they want to sit on the government. Today, our country is facing another challenge and that is the econoic crisis. A lot of people are now looking for a mortgage revamp these days.  A mortgage revamp, or a refinance, could be the key to saving the bacon of people with mortgage problems.  The lending boom of the past few years had a lot of people sign up for ARMs, or Adjustable Rate Mortgages.  The problem is that they were always adjusted up, making them less affordable and sending people running for cash advances to meet the minimum payments.  Still, a lot of people are struggling with mortgages as many workers have been laid off, and many who retained their jobs have had to accept reduced salaries.  A short term loan may help people ride out the interim time until a mortgage revamp.
