Locke, Solis Are Least Known of Obama Cabinet Members
The Who's last major hit was a catchy tune called "Who Are You," and it might well pertain to most members of a presidential Cabinet.
Gary Locke, a former governor of Washington State and the country's first-ever Chinese-American governor, has served as President Obama's Commerce secretary for the past two years. Now the president has named him U.S. ambassador to China. But a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 70% of Likely U.S. Voters still don't know enough about Locke to have an opinion of him.
