Barack Obama cabinet getting ready

President-elect Barack Obama is already making presidential history by naming his cabinet team or at least the information is leaking to the press. According to Cooper, none of his predecessors chose their team that fast. I think that Obama is getting ready for his first term. I also think that he wants his team to start working right after the transition. As down as the economy in America is right now, Obama and his team will have to work very hard to boost up the economy. I believe that he has a plan to save America. With an economic crisis spiraling out of control and a lame duck in the oval office, presidential scholars say the next commander in chief simply had no choice but to make choices very soon. Obama is doing what the public and the markets demand be done ; and that is to show that the next president is really in charge before he even takes the oath of office. The conventional wisdom by observers was that the Obama transition team's vigorous vetting requirements would slow down the selection process, or scare away talent altogether.

While Obama has been criticized for lacking executive experience, he is showing the same organizational skill in managing his transition as he did in managing his campaign. Managerial competence is often an overlooked aspect of presidential leadership but I think it is a critical one.
