Obama is filling his cabinet with qualified individuals who bring a diversity of life experiences into his inner circle.
IMO, that is a good thing....unless you believe that some of his selections are not qualified and were selected solely on the basis of race, gender or sexual orientation.

Should not life experiences be a factor? And arent those experiences defined in some measure by race and gender?
