Some people are stressing about President-Elect Barack Obama's cabinet choices. Maybe this quote will help gain perspective.
“I’m a practical-minded guy. And, you know, one of my heroes is Abraham Lincoln. And a while back there was a wonderful book written by Doris Kearns Goodwin called ‘Team of Rivals.” Lincoln basically pulled in all the people who had been running against him into his Cabinet because whatever personal feelings there were, the issue was how can we get this country through this time of crisis. And I think that has to be the approach that one takes, whether it’s vice president or Cabinet, whoever.”– Barack Obama
(I’m headed to Amazon to get this book. Should be an interesting read.)
