I don't think these resumes are for the blow level of people. Go to his www.change.gov and I think that's where they're coming from.

I hope TEAM O gets the resumes of RICHARDSON, BILL BRADLEY AND GARY HART and hires them ASAP ! they are the best minds I know that have real govt policy experience and vision for these times ! I also hope that many progressives are hired on to stop the rt wing binge BUSH yrs have wrought,,,,,,, MAKE THIS the liberal ALOHA era in both govt and our nation as a whole ! After all O is from peaceful and beautiful HAWAII and he should try to reflect that more than the tough windy city of DALEY clan,,,,,,

What about Bill Richardson?

Who wouldn't want to work for a world-class boss as our President-elect...one who has a brain and ACTUALLY uses it. The smartening up (vs. the dumbing down) of America begins...Jan. 20th!!!

Wow, I never seen him in a Tan Suit. Very Handsome!

[Fongenie]

That tan suit is really sexy.

Either its the enthusiasm from the campaign and Presidency or the economy tanking and they NEED jobs. At this rate Obama will be inhereting a disaster area as far as the economy. I fear it wont last until January 20th.

good. hopefully they are new people NOT from DC!

[nellie]

There's nothing wrong with being from DC. It's your priorities that matter.

[BabsfromKansas]

Thank you, nellie!

[ckfan]

Yeah, bring on the inexperienced folks. Just like Clinton did. Remember how well he did in the first 2 years of his administration???

[wordvarc]

Everyone wants to make positive change...

yet, sadly, any job opening in the next years will have many many applicants.

Time to think Star Treck for our future.

Stop thinking old party hack with the divide and conqure mentality.

We all win when we all have one goal.

[Topfeeder]

[Ammi]

[BarackstarObama]

In 61 days, the United States will change for the better... forever!

This is good news!!! It shows that young Americans got the message; they believe in this country and once again, are ready to serve this country! They are hungrily asking what they can do for this country!

This is great news. Republicans have done so much damage, there is more than enough for those of us willing to serve, to do!!!! This is great news. Keep Hope Alive!!!!
