Ray thinks it's obvious that President-elect Barack Obama has read and absorbed the lessons of Doris Kearns Goodwin's Lincoln book, Team of Rivals. Obama, like Lincoln, is recruiting former rivals for the presidency as he assembles his cabinet. So far, while Ray doesn't always agree philosophically with the people Obama is choosing, he very much admires the approach Obama is taking.

I agree, Ray, that President Bush was a very poor communicator. Many times I felt he should be talking directly to the American people much more often.
I, too, hope that Bill Richardson can do for the country what he did in New Mexico. But he'll have to very big obstacles, as will President-elect Obama if he doesn't toe their line, in Reid and Pelosi. Those two, along with their posse of Shumer, Franks, Dodd, Murtha and the like will be the big obstacles to progress on the economic front. Not to mention if they try to bring back to so-called "Fairness Doctrine" I hope Obama does have a successful Presidency, for the good of the country. Time will tell.
