His first cabinet was a very diverse cabinet, comprised of women, minorities, and white males. It also included Republicans as well as Democrats. But in the second term, as often happens, some of the members did not want to continue for a second term. For example, Hillary Clinton was secretary of state in the first term, but she was replaced by John Kerry in Mr. Obama's second term. Some critics have said his second term cabinet is not as diverse, although it again includes Republicans as well as Democrats. A link to the names of the 2012 cabinet is enclosed.
