And so – we - “the trucking industry” can look forward to another “yes man – do nothing - rubber-stamper” to lead the transportation department of the United States.
This guy is no iconoclast. He is not a mover nor a shaker. He is a sure bet to do whatever an Obama staffer tells him to do. He is unknown. He’s flown way under the radar screen. He is a former teacher and an Arab-American. He replaces the equally uninspiring Bush “do-what-you’re told” yes-woman Mary Peters.
“Ring ring…Ray…this is the assistant to the assistant to the assistant to Rahm Emanuel, the President’s Chief of Staff…Ray, you’ve been a good little yes-man…we need a good little do what we tell you and nothing else to be the Secretary in the unimportant DOT…you’re doing nothing right now…since you’ve done nothing important or controversial as a member of Congress…in fact, you’re whole life…we think you’ll be perfect in this job…what do you say Ray?…what’s that?…how high does President Obama want you to jump?…that’s the spirit Ray…be a good boy and you’ll be Ambassador to Jordon in a few years..
Now let’s read and hear how the "drool over anything “breaking news” trucking new media falls all over this guy…he’ll be on the cover of every trucking rag in the next few months…and bottom-line do you know what he’s going to do for “us” truckers? NOTHING.
