In praise of Sec. Ray LaHood...
Edited on Tue Aug-04-09 02:59 PM by Puzzler
I don't know much about this new Sec. of Transportation, but I do know that he has been a damn good spokesman/salesman on the MSM for the Cash for Clunkers (and other administration transportation issues). He remains convincing and on message, despite many of the pundits trying to trip him up. He's got that "Big Ed" quality that lots of people seem to be able to relate to.

1. LaHood is one of the few Republicans Obama appointed
but you should have heard him on C-Span's Newsmakers this past Sunday. He couldn't have been more effusive about the Obama team.

3. Nice to hear.
From what I can tell, he was/is very well liked and admired in Congress.
