A promise of help from Team Obama (Response)

This article was very interesting and indeed, very intriguing. I got this article from The Week, a weekly article that I have now come to love to read. This article seemed to shine light on many of the issues that Obama is creating for himself. While it is thought to be wonderful, economic stimulus package the be signed in by Obama, it is worrisome a as to how the meeting went. I did find it very interesting though that the article speaks so highly of him and his team.
I find it absolutely fascinating that Obama has been able to put together such an organization without ever stepping foot inside the White House. I myself receive many emails a day from the Obama campaign outlining what is to be done on a certain topic.
I do feel that this team will bring about good change in the American despite what critics might say.
I dislike the immediate dislike of Summers however. I believe that one administration should not be crippled by the outcome of a past administration and it's staff.
