If elected will John McCain name Barack Obama to his cabinet for National Service?
Voided
Market Voided. McCain lost.
Background:
John McCain offers Barack Obama a cabinet post
This is one promise that Senator John McCain might struggle to keep if he does win in November.
"Governor Schwarzenegger has made the service czar a cabinet-level appointment," Stengel said. "Would you, as president, do the same and would you name Senator Obama to your cabinet for National Service?" McCain paused for a beat before replying with a smile: "Yes!" Cue laughter and applause.
He also praised Senator Obama for his "outstanding" work as a community organiser [sic]
Don't hold your breath about Obama being in a McCain cabinet as Secretary for National Service, Secretary for Community Organising or anything else.
