So Kenneth - can we criticize Cap and Trade before he is in office. We sure know what the impact of that will be.

Kenneth, you did criticize Bush before he was in office. That is a fact. You also stated that it is very important to hold him to his campaign promises. You were going to write to your reps to make sure he did... So, I assume you will be busy today writing to your reps about the Daschle choice? Daschle pick may test conflict-of-interest pledge Ex-senator's health care advising could force recusal on many issues WASHINGTON - President-elect Barack Obama’s selection of former Senator Tom Daschle for secretary of health and human services posed new questions on Wednesday about how broadly the new administration would apply Mr. Obama’s campaign promises to limit potential conflicts of interest among his appointees. At issue is Mr. Daschle’s work since leaving the Senate four years ago as a board member of the Mayo Clinic and a highly paid adviser to health care clients at the law and lobbying firm Alston & Bird. In a detailed list of campaign promises, Mr. Obama pledged that “no political appointees in an Obama administration will be permitted to work on regulations or contracts directly and substantially related to their prior employer for two years.”
