This team will ensure that Obama is surrounded by diverse, strong and experienced judgment. It's a matter of how well they all work together and it seems evident that Obama and his top advisers know a thing or two about running a tight ship. I really don't have many concerns about the personalities in this team, either. Jim Jones, Biden, Gates, Clinton all have an amazing track record of working well with others when it comes to crafting policy. That's a fact.

It has never had to lay off employees. In the fiscal year that ended in March, profit grew 12%, to $5.1 billion, on $84 billion in sales. In the U.S., which accounts for 43% of Honda's sales, vehicle sales are up 7% through July, even as the industry slipped 5%." Honda spent over $4 billion on R&D last year. Let's stop blaming labor unions or the financial crisis for the U.S. auto industry's problems. They could be in much better shape if they had half the type of management Honda does.</em> </div>Automobile Industryauthor added

She's looking like our next Secretary of State.

In 1860, Abraham Lincoln defeated a New York senator, William H. Seward, for the Republican nomination. Seward was a major figure in the Republican Party and a heavy favorite entering that election. Lincoln ended up offering his top rival the position of Secretary of State. We could use another Lincoln these days. Offering Hillary the position certainly worries me because we can't afford another Clintonian soap opera surrounding the Obama presidency. But clearly Obama proved in the primaries he can manage the Clintons very well. Let's face it...Hillary is smart, tough and respected around the world. If she feels this will be her legacy she will do great things as Secretary of State.

@Geoff I have to agree. It should be Tina Fey for being Sarah Palin and for her success with 30 Rock. I'm out of the loop but I have no idea what Robert Downey Jr. did this year to merit this award. I know he did something and he's certainly one talented mofo., but someone please fill me in.

Very painful but the loss of jobs would be more painful for the country right now. It could present a wonderful opportunity for the government to go in and clean house, by removing the boards and management of the big three and by including conditions that could put the industry on a path towards being more competitive. Save the auto industry, reform it and the health care industry and this will be a price worth paying for.

Hillary certainly would have won but I think it would have been a little closer. Should would not have won Virginia or North Carolina and I can't imagine she would have won 67 million votes, like Obama, which is roughly 5 million votes more than any other presidential candidate has ever gotten. If Obama lost the primary after a long and hard fight young voters and African Americans would have been demoralized and turnout amongst those groups would have been significantly lower, me thinks.
