With the codification of the Unitary Executive by the Democrats in congress, the cabinet and congress itself have been rendered moot. They do not matter. They have no power. They are simply window dressing for the president to stay safely and securly above the law and rule as he wishes. So it really does not matter who is in congress or the cabinet. Obama can and will use the Unitary Executive power given him by congress to rule completely unaided by any other aspect of the government or by the people. In the U.S., the president is king and we are all but pawns in his games of politics and personal wealth accumulation. All we can do now is try and survive. Good luck to us.
