The numbers are stark: of President Obama’s nine new Cabinet appointments, three are women and one is Hispanic. This has prompted African-Americans, who voted for Obama in record numbers, to question whether they are getting their fair share of representation. Ohio Democrat Marcia Fudge, who chairs the Congressional Black Caucus, sent Obama a letter last week saying that his appointments “have hardly been reflective of this country’s diversity.” She noted numerous phone calls from constituents to the offices of the CBC’s 42 members “questioning why none of the new appointees will be able to speak to the unique needs of African Americans.”
