Just a thought....Ted Strickland for Secretary of Labor.....

[FarPoint]

Ted Strickland declined to run for Governor of Ohio in 2014...which leads me to speculate he may indeed be on the Presidents list. Ted is a friend to Labor....and a close friend to President Obama.

Anyone else have thoughts on this option?

of the accomplishments and leadership abilities of Ted Strickland.

4. I do not have limited insight

I imagine I read as much or more than you do...three newspapers a day and more than a book a week, not light reading my last was Meacham's book on Jefferson.

I am tired tired of not looking for women to fill these positions.... Sorry don't mean to insult you even though you did a good job of insulting me....

Tolerance would be nice....

6. I'm looking for qualifications....

Gender is not a deciding factor.

8. From what I know of Ted Strickland

he would be a good choice.

10. There are qualified women if they look for them....

the problem is nobody wants to, maybe we need a "binder full"......

9. Recess appointment

so it might be a battle.

11. If the Republicans want to battle on every cabinet appointment so be it!

5. That would be an excellent choice n/t

12. Ted Strickland would make a good appointee, regardless of gender.

Though up in years, Strickland is sharp, and his knowledge and experience should be used in some way by the administration.

I personally believe his age would be detrimental in a run for major office against a likely younger opponent, but he is energetic and has much to contribute.

13. I would love to see Strickland get a cabinet appointment to make sure he doesn't run for governor

14. He already announced he was not running for Governor.

He was the perfect Governor for Ohio in my opinion.
