CNN Live News Video | Obama Announces Economic Advisors Incl. Melody Barnes and Timothy Geithner – 11/24/08

“…at a press conference in Chicago, Obama took the stage with… his core economic team, including Melody Barnes as Director of White House Domestic Policy Council… and New York Federal Reserve President Timothy Geithner as Treasury Secretary.” – SheWired

Well, Obama is certainly hitting the ground running, having named his economic team before he has even been President Elect for one month. I think that’s definitely what the US needs right now – some assurance that he’s going to get to work right away.

Whether people agree with his choices for team members is another matter, but I’ll leave that to the more politically minded debaters.
