President-elect Barack Obama announced key members of an economic team tasked with creating jobs, stabilizing the economy, and getting our country back on track.
Christina D. Romer will serve as Director of the Council of Economic Advisers, Melody C. Barnes will serve as Director of the Domestic Policy Council, and Heather A.Higginbottom will serve as Deputy Director of the Domestic Policy Council.
Peter Orszag, currently Director of the Congressional Budget Office, will serve as Office of Management and Budget Director, and Rob Nabors will serve as Deputy Director.
(Watch the video of Barack’s announcement yesterday and learn more about the economic team:)
Barack’s economic team has already begun work on a recovery plan, and he’ll provide progress updates in the coming weeks. He’ll also provide their initial recommendations to the incoming Congress.
You’ll be instrumental in generating support to pass legislation that puts America on the road to recovery.
While we can’t underestimate the challenge we face, we also can’t underestimate the opportunity we have to bring the change our country needs.
Thanks, David
