That's because women are obviously inferior & are too emotional to handle important things like defense or law. 



Note that Janet Napolitano & Hillary Clinton aren't the most stereotypically feminine figures

I think all the cabinet secretaries should be women.  Being a secretary is woman's work anyway.

So? Government should be a meritocracy, if there are no women who are better for the job than men, don't put them in for the job. Simple. Likewise if there were no men who were better for the job.

His cabinet needs more Native Americans. Racist.

Amusingly, it's not even true, unless we arbitrarily exclude the cabinet-level positions which happen not be Secretaries.

Obama, at the beginning of his term:
Hillary Clinton, Hilda Solis, Janet Napolitano, Lisa Jackson, Susan Rice (5)
[Drug Policy and Commerce are undetermined currently and may also go to women.]

Bush, at the beginning of his first term:
Gale Norton, Elaine Chao, Christie Whitman (3)

Bush, currently:
Condoleeza Rice, Elaine Chao, Margaret Spellings, Mary Peters (4)
Edit: Ah, plus Susan Schwab, for an equal number

You missed Ann Veneman for the first term.

I agree. There is also a distinct lack of Albinos and Little People.

Driedapples, who is that gay man in the bottom of your sig?

Thats Aaron Schock, and there isn't anything on him being gay. But to me it looks more like his brother, because they do look alike.
