| Obama Hires Seven Gay People |
President-elect Barack Obama has hired at least seven openly gay people to head transition panels that will review federal agencies and departments before Obama's January inauguration. The seven are among more than 300 people that will "provide the president-elect, the vice president-elect, and key advisors with information needed to make strategic policy, budgetary, and personnel decisions prior to the inauguration," a statement posted Monday on the transition team web site states. They are businessman Fred P. Hochberg, former San Francisco Supervisor Roberta Achtenberg, labor attorney Elaine Kaplan, Rick Stamberger, president and CEO of SmartBrief, Inc., Brad Kiley, member of the Center for American Progress, Thomas Soto, an investment fund manager focusing on "clean technologies" and former Romanian Ambassador Michael Guest. "The Agency Review Teams for the Obama-Biden Transition will complete a thorough review of key departments, agencies and commissions of the United States government as well as the White House," the statement says.
