President Obama nominated New Hampshire Senator Judd Gregg to be the next secretary of commerce. If confirmed by the Senate, Gregg will be the third Republican in Obama’s Cabinet.
“Now, clearly Judd and I don’t agree on every issue, most notably who should have won the election,” Obama said. “But we do agree on the urgent need to get American businesses and families back on their feet. … And we know the only way to solve the great challenges of our time is to put aside stale ideology and petty partisanship and embrace what works.”
Today is the first day on the job for another Obama Cabinet member: Eric Holder, the nation’s first African-American attorney general. He told employees at the Department of Justice that they have “no reason to be timid in enforcing the laws that protect our rights, our environment and our principles.”
Speaking at the State Department’s Foreign Press Center February 2, political analyst Charlie Cook said Obama is “probably the least traditionally experienced new president we’ve had in modern history” who has surrounded himself “with one of the most experienced teams we’ve ever seen.”
