President-elect Barack Obama is very close to filling all of his cabinet positions. On Saturday morning Obama announced Shaun Donovan to be the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Donavan is the housing commissioner of New York City, and has done an astounding job since he took the position in 2004. Prior to that he was the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Multifamily Housing under the Bill Clinton Administration. Yes, thats right, Obama chose a cabinet member that worked for Bill Clinton.
