Obama 2009 versus Trump 2017

Cabinet confirmation comparison: Obama 2009 versus Trump 2017. How obstructionist and petty are Democrats being? Trump will start his presidency with only two confirmed cabinet members: James Mattis, Secretary of Defense, and John Kelly, head of Homeland Security. They can hold their first cabinet meeting in a toilet stall. In 2009, Obama had seven cabinet members on his first day and they approved Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State on the second day. As Sen. John Cornyn says, that was “a demonstration of the good faith and the civility that ordinarily extends in the peaceful transition of power from one president to another.”
