	If you're from the DFW area, you are likely to get the US Trade Representative.

	7/21--somehow completely glossed over Rahm Emanuel. I'm going to have nightmares tonight about spelling Geithner (got it around attempt 487).

	I find it sad that so many people don't know many of these. (If they're Americans playing, anyway) I'd bet there's a higher percentage of non-US citizens that can name more of these than US citizens. P.s. - Don't flame me for being anti-american. I am one. I just recognize that a lot of my fellow citizens are pretty ignorant.

	15/21. Just named all the tax cheats I could think of. Take a deep breath, was only a joke.

	@dubliner - please tell me that breadth isn't a typo and is actually the way people spell breath across the pond

	Can you name the members of Obama's Cabinet? No, no I can't. I can name two - Biden and Clinton - and only vaguely remember ever having heard any of the ones I didn't know.

	Damn you Rahm Emanuel with your 'only-one-'m'-second-name'.

	ted:	May 3rd, 2009 at 13:35 GMT	10 points
	The percentages are really bizarre. As of now, more people have correctly named Ray LaHood (Transportation) than have named Gates, Geithner or Holder. WTF?

	I don't really have a problem with only 22% getting the Attorney General (and that 22% constituting the seventh-most-guessed answer) but how in the world do only 63-64% get the Secretary of State and the Vice President? I imagine if you accepted "That dude in the cowboy hat" for Salazar, he'd be muuuuch higher than 10% :P

	10/21 Thank you Daily Show and Colbert Report

	@Hungover, well over here in the UK we spell it breath.

	@Deepbite, Well both Secretary of Homeland Security and Secretary of Agriculture were Governors as well... VP, Sec of State and Interior were Senators (and so was Agriculture i think), Labor, Chief of Staff and Transportation were Representatives. Trade Representative and Ambassador to the UN were former Mayor of Dallas and former Assistant Sec of State respectively. He retained Secretary of Defense and the others were kinda had more expertise instead of just being politicians.

	The bottom 5 technically aren't cabinet positions, but are considered "cabinet rank." However, if you're going to use all cabinet rank positions, then you forgot the Council of Economic Advisers, headed by Christina Romer. http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/cabinet/

	For anybody who missed HHS secretary for the spelling, don't worry -- even Google gets it wrong: http://tinyurl.com/cr2myn

	90% of these people aren't even household names in their own house. Congrats to Obama for getting some new blood in places that desperately needed it.

	@hungover , typo , It was the spellchecker's fault not mine ;) ?
