Obama Narrows Candidates for Labor Secretary

By GottaLaff

Obama's in Labor:

The Wall Street Journal reports that Harley Shaiken, an academic at the University of California, Berkeley, and Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) are emerging as finalists for secretary of labor in the Obama administration.

"The post is one of the last to be filled by President-elect Barack Obama, and is proving to be particularly difficult. Early candidates, such as former Rep. David Bonior and Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, have faded, either because they asked not to be considered or ran into other problems."

What problems, I wonder?
