Who are in Obama's second term cabinet?

Answer 1

Joe Biden, John Kerry, Jack Lew, Chuck Hagel, Eric Holder, Sally Jewell, Tom Vilsack, Penny Pritzker, Thomas Perez, Kathleen Sebelius, Arne Duncan, Shaun Donovan, Anthony Foxx, Ernest Moniz, Eric Shinseki, Jeh Johnson, Denis McDonough, Gina McCarthy, Sylvia Mathews Burwell, Samantha Power and Michael Froman are members of Obama's second term cabinet.

Answer 2

There are more than four members-- there are fifteen. They include the Secretary of State (Hillary Clinton), Secretary of Defense (Leon Panetta), Secretary of the Treasury (Timothy Geithner), Secretary of the Interior (Kenneth Salazar), Secretary of Agriculture (Thomas Vilsack), and Secretary of Transportation (Ray LaHood). I enclose a link that gives all fifteen of them, and tells something about each one.

Answer 3

Throughout his administration, Mr. Obama has had several Republicans serving-- for example, he held over Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, a Republican who first served under President Bush. (Mr. Gates ultimately retired, and was replaced by Leon Panetta, a Democrat.) Current Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood is a Republican. It should also be noted that the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, is a Republican (he is not a member of the cabinet, but the Fed Chair certainly works with whoever is in the White House). However, the majority of the cabinet members tend to be from the party of the president; Mr. Bush had nearly all Republicans in his cabinet, and Mr. Obama has nearly all Democrats.

Answer 4

One cabinet member is Leon Panetta, who is the Secretary of Defense; he joined the cabinet in 2011, replacing Robert Gates, who retired.
