The President's Cabinet



Hello Readers,


In 4th grade we read a story called “So You Want to be President” by Judith St. George. We learned a lot about what presidents from the past did. We also learned about what our president now does. His name is President Barack Obama. We had to google Ask.com and research to find out who the President’s cabinet members are. Here is what I found out:

The Secretary of Interior is Kenneth L. Salazar
The Secretary of Defense is Robert M. Gates
The Secretary of Treasury is Timothy F. Geithner
The Secretary of Commerce is Gary F. Locke
The Secretary of Justice is General Eric H. Holder, Jr.
The Secretary of Agriculture is Thomas J. Vilsack
The Secretary of Labor is Hilda L. Solis
The Secretary of Health and Human Services is Kathleen Sebelius
The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development is Shaun L. S. Donovan
The Secretary of Transportation is Raymond L. LaHood
The Secretary of Energy is Steven Chu
The Secretary of Education is Arne Duncan
The Secretary of Veterans Affairs is Eric Shinseki
The Secretary of Homeland Security is Janet Napolitano
The Secretary of State is Hillary Rodham Clinton

The Best Obama Book and Book Signing

Image
Hello Readers, Today we went to a book signing and I was very happy! There was a lot of people, there was a girl tugging at my leg. Nikki Grimes said that she wanted us to dream on. I had a book about BARACK OBAMA signed by Nikki Grimes and illustrator Bryan Collier. I asked, what made you want to write a book about Barack Obama? She paused for a few seconds and said, " Yes I love to write, it would be lots of publicity, and it would bring attention to my other books and writings. Once the research began, she began to like him, she began to understand his message, leaning more led to greater appreciation. Following his campaign ups and downs made my heart jump." The book was a "crash book." In December of 2007, the publisher contacted her and requested 3 weeks for research and writing, as opposed to the usual 3 to 4 months for book research alone. Here is the author's website: http://www.nikkigrimes.com/
