Richardson Still Owes Obama a Favor

President-elect Barack Obama and Commerce Secretary-designate New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson take part in a news conference today in Chicago.

I love this story:
Commerce Secretary-designate Bill Richardson tells Esquire how his new boss saved him during a Democratic primary debate:

"As I'm chatting with Obama, the moderator says, 'Governor Richardson, what do you think of that?' And I look at him like a deer in the headlights. I was about to say that I hadn't heard, when Obama puts his hand over his mouth and says, 'Katrina.' So I gave my four-point plan on Katrina. When I was done and the debate moved on, I looked over and said, 'Thanks, you're okay.' He said, 'Nothing to it, brother.'"
Every day I become more impressed with our new president. I know it's inevitable that the honeymoon will end (there are already a few negatives ::coughFISAcough::), but there has been ample confirmation that Obama is a genuinely stand-up guy.

He is not going to please everyone all of the time, but as long as he works hard to make our collective country better, he has my support.

I think the thing that makes the difference at the end of the day when all is said and done is that the guy genuinely gives a shit about people.
