This is pretty cool - Obama/Biden now have policy teams set up.

[jillan]

The focus of the groups "will be to develop the priority policy proposals and plans from the Obama Campaign for action during the Obama-Biden Administration."


Group leaders:

Economic: Daniel K. Tarullo

Education: Linda Darling-Hammond

Energy and Environment: Carol M. Browner

Health Care: Senator Tom Daschle

Immigration: T. Alexander Aleinikoff, Mariano-Florentino (Tino) Cuéllar

National Security: James B. Steinberg, Dr. Susan E. Rice

Technology, Innovation and Government Reform: Sonal Shah, Julius Genachowski, Blair Levin

These are NOT cabinet picks (altho Daschle is). This is part of the transition.


Definitely sounds like they are going to hit the ground running :)

5. Wow, Pirhana. Thank you for sharing that info with us. Now we can

spend some time finding out about these folks. Frankly, I needed something to keep my mind off all the complaining around here lately. :)

And it looks like a very diverse group of people, too.
