According to Politico, which pretty much became the propaganda tool for the Obama campaign during this year’s campaign for president, President-Elect Barack Obama and his main team of advisers are contemplating asking two Kennedys to accept a position in the Obama cabinet.

Obama is strongly considering asking Robert F. Kennedy Jr., son of the late senator and attorney general Robert F. Kennedy, to head the Environmental Protection Agency, Politico reports Democratic sources said earlier today.

Caroline Kennedy, who is Robert’s cousin, might become U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Politico adds.

That means that two Kennedys, who were important supporters of Obama, being considered the absolute elite of the Democratic Party, may play an important role in an Obama administration. According to Politico, these Kennedys are considered for important jobs because of the family’s support for Obama, reasonably early on in the race.

Meanwhile, Colin Powell is said to be considered for either secretary of defense or of education; defense would make more sense for Powell considering the decades he spent in the military. Then again, the U.S. already has a good secretary of defense right now, Robert Gates. Gates is, like Powell, a moderate conservative, who is a pragmatist before an ideological Republican. He, it seems, would fit in perfectly in a ‘bipartisan’ administration.
