5:33Now Playing"President Obama hasn't even been sworn in yet for his second term, and there's already a huge controversy brewing in Washington over Obama's "white guy Cabinet," referring to the recent spate of white males being appointed to top Cabinet positions. And while Obama's overall appointment record gives him a slight advantage in diversity over his two predecessors, the optics at present admittedly do not look good when run through the media filter. But forget the optics, let's take a moment and celebrate the first big, ridiculous, and ultimately pointless controversy of the new year and a new term."*
Some have accused President Obama of not being diverse enough in his cabinet, due to 3 recent white male appointees. Or could that be GOP tokenism projection? Cenk Uygur, Ben Manckiewicz (Host, Turner Classic Movies) and John Iadarola discuss the new "controversy."
