Washington continued to be gripped by the drama surrounding Mrs. Clinton’s fate and the possibility that Mr. Obama might bring his toughest rival for the Democratic presidential nomination into his cabinet. Mr. Obama’s advisers said the talks had gone well, but would not say if an agreement to avoid conflicts had been reached, as the Clinton camp has indicated.
Instead of feeding the media’s Clinton obsession by leaking stories about leaks, the Obama team needs to name a Secretary of Treasury and then put together the mother of all stimulus packages–something that President Obama can sign the day he takes office. They need to do it now.
Bush and Paulson have exhausted whatever limited credibility they may have had. There’s economic wreckage everywhere you look.
What is the Obama team waiting for?
