<p>^ Look, guys, I know you wanto to spin this to get your own schools in there, but I was just listing “Cabinet” and “Cabinet-rank” positions. If you want to to start adding other “influentials” you’d need to add a whole bunch of other key White House personnel, like</p>
<p>WH Senior Adviser David Axelrod / U Chicago / none / Illinois
WH Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett / Stanford / Michigan Law / Illinois
Press Secretary Robert Gibbs / NC State / North Carolina & Alabama
National Economic Council Chair Lawrence Summers / MIT / Harvard / DC & academia
Energy & environment “czar” Carol Browner / U Florida / U Florida Law / Florida & DC</p>
<p>and many others. More sensible to stop, I think, with those in the Cabinet and/or officially considered to have Cabinet rank.</p>
