The squeaky wheel gets the Obama

From First Read via Taegan Goddard:

As we've mentioned before, Latino groups have been grumbling somewhat about their representation (or lack thereof) in the Obama administration...
There are two Latinos in the Cabinet. There were almost three, until Bill Richardson had to withdraw. I'll give the Latinos credit - they know how to play the game. You don't get your way, especially with this administration, unless you never cede ground, ever. It's a lesson that the gay community, which doesn't have any cabinet appointees (or much of anything else for that matter), and other interest groups (including the health care reform gang) should take to heart. The squeaky wheel gets the Obama.
