The Obama-Biden team’s Presidential Transition Project already has a website up which documents their transition into power and solicits ideas from the public.
I submitted the letter from my previous post.
Today we begin in earnest the work of making sure that the world we leave our children is just a little bit better than the one we inhabit today.
President-Elect Barack Obama
The day after Barack Obama announced Joe Biden as his running mate, I found myself involved in a conversation about his choice.
The person I was chatting with could have been a co-worker, an acquaintance, or a stranger on the street, it really doesn’t matter to the story so, in the name of anonymity, you can select whichever you prefer.
Anyway, this person says to me, quite contemptuously (about Joe Biden):
“That man looks more like a Republican than he does a Democrat.”
I walked away from the conversation at this point, shaking my head and thinking:
“Jesus! And your vote counts just as much as mine does.”
Nothing like having an informed opinion. Honestly! S/he doesn’t like him because he “looks like a Republican.”
Wow.
