I'd really like it if Obama could attract Warren Buffett and Colin Powell into cabinet positions, as well. He's mentioned them both specifically. Powell has basically said he would consider serving, if asked. I don't know about Buffett. It might be a good way for him to transition Berkshire Hathaway to the new management and at the same time finish his life doing something for "the greater good".

I know there's a separtion between the Executive and Legislative branches, but I would love it if Obama could somehow get the word out that he'd like replacements for both Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. That would be a huge step in the right direction.
