The ball is rolling...

Hello Blogging World,
Many people have stopped following politics after the announcement of Obama's victory, but it is a pleasant surprise to see that Obama doesn't see this as a lull period. Here we are less than a month after the election and Obama is already making choices for staff members. People are still voicing their concerns or praise about the election results, but nobody seems to actually be paying attention to what is going. When asking around about Obama's staff choices most people gave me blank stares. Even after listing names like Timothy Geithner, I got very little recognition. These names are important to our country's future and very few people are paying attention. For those who have been paying attention, there have been mixed responses to Obama's picks. Many people feel he is already letting down his followers, arguing that his picks aren't fresh enough. They argue that with this cabinet, we won't see Obama's promised change. However, I like some other Americans are arguing that his picks are strong political figures. They won't be mere figureheads. They will bring opinions to the table and won't be afraid to be heard. They will be effective in their appointed positions and will be the strength necessary to bring forth the change America needs
