This week's assignment was to scrape the web and then create a list with the material you collect.

Our president likes ratings - Celebrity Apprentice's ratings, CNN's ratings, etc. Good shows with good ratings - like the Fox News morning show, Fox and Friends - get the president's ear and inform policy decisions. Well and good, but who gets the president's ear after he puts on his president pants and goes about his day doing president things? How does the public know who to trust? How does the president know who to listen to?

Cabinet Ratings™, that's how.

This Executive Intelligence Report scrapes Google News for total number of hits for each cabinet member and advisor to the president, and ranks them.
