Obama picks NYC housing chief for HUD

Carleton Bryant The Washington Times - December 13, 2008, 08:59AM

President-elect Barack Obama has chosen Shaun Donovan, New York City’s housing commissioner, to head the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the New York Times is reporting.

Donovan is a former official from the Clinton administration, about the 10,000th former Clintonite that Obama has chosen for his administration. (I think Donovan won a door prize. Confetti was involved.)
