— -- If his choices are confirmed, President-elect Barack Obama would have one of the most diverse Cabinets ever.

Overall, Obama has picked five women, four blacks, three Hispanics and two Asians as Cabinet-level appointments. The team includes former rivals, political opponents and even a few who had standout careers in basketball, Obama's favorite sport.

President Bush's first Cabinet in 2001 had four women, two blacks, one Hispanic and two Asians.

President Clinton's first Cabinet in 1993 had four women, four blacks and two Hispanics.
