Sorry, but you are totally wrong.
GW has the most diverse cabinet and inner circle in the history of the US.
Do some research...
Alberto Gonzales, the first Hispanic to hold one of the powerful ?big four? Cabinet jobs, attorney general.
Powell as the first African American, then Condoleezza Rice, to be the first female African-American secretary of State, the Cabinet?s senior position.
Margaret Spellings, his domestic policy adviser, to lead the Education Department
Carlos Gutierrez to head Commerce
The GOP isn?t running around with a checklist, trying to add the ?right mix? of ethnic and gender groups in order to play to certain groups. The president is simply choosing people he believes are qualified for their positions. The result has been a diverse cabinet. Even some Democrats grumbled during the presidential campaign that Bush had more African-Americans and Hispanics among his closest advisers than John Kerry
