How many black women left Obama's cabinet and why?
Only one at this point. First, it should be noted that every president who serves a second term finds he needs to replace certain cabinet members. Mr. Obama is no exception: Both President Clinton and President Bush also had several members of their first term cabinet decide they would not serve another term (cabinet positions are very time-consuming and intense, and often, cabinet members prefer to go back home, relax, and be with their family for a while). While Mr. Obama is losing several white male cabinet members, he is also losing a white female member (Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State), and one Hispanic woman (Hilda Solis, at the Department of Labor). There is also one black woman who announced she is leaving the Obama team-- Lisa P. Jackson (administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency); she expressed frustration with partisan bickering and gridlock in congress. Other black cabinet members, advisers, and agency heads, both male and female, are still working for the Obama administration.

She served until Carter left office in 1981.
