the depth of his resume includes college and campaign work for hillary. he might have all the answers and may turn out to be an auto industry savant, but that's a pretty big gamble on obama's part.

oh yeah, the part of the article I quoted below that looks like it might be a slightly critical or possibly objective look at this appointment is just a small excerpt from the beginning of a ny times article. so, just click the link to read further on for the happy, rosy conclusion full of feel goodiness that reveals the rainbows and unicorns the times sees in everything our president does now a days.

It is not every 31-year-old who, in a first government job, finds himself dismantling General Motors and rewriting the rules of American capitalism.

But that, in short, is the job description for Brian Deese, a not-quite graduate of Yale Law School who had never set foot in an automotive assembly plant until he took on his nearly unseen role in remaking the American automotive industry.

Nor, for that matter, had he given much thought to what ailed an industry that had been in decline ever since he was born. A bit laconic and looking every bit the just-out-of-graduate-school student adjusting to life in the West Wing — “he’s got this beard that appears and disappears,” says Steven Rattner, one of the leaders of President Obama’s automotive task force — Mr. Deese was thrown into the auto industry’s maelstrom as soon the election-night parties ended.

“There was a time between Nov. 4 and mid-February when I was the only full-time member of the auto task force,” Mr. Deese, a special assistant to the president for economic policy, acknowledged recently as he hurried between his desk at the White House and the Treasury building next door. “It was a little scary.”
