question about Obama's economic team

[Project Grudge]

Is Jim Johnson, the dude who stepped down of the VP search and who was high up with Frannie Mae and Lehman Bros, still involved with the economic stuff. I hope not, but I'm wondering; I just hate how much Wall Street gets its hands all over politics.

1. What does stepping down from the VP search have to do with Obama's economic team?

Here is Obama's economic team

2. isn't that a list of

economists who have endorsed Obama?

Does a simple endorsement explicitly mean that they are "on his team"?

3. See:

Economic policy advisors:


It's at the top of the list.

4. Some good names on that list

Robert Rubin and especially Robert Reich are brilliant men, just the type we need to help us now.

5. No a guy from Harvard that Obama went to school with is the lead

Johnson has never been anything but in the team search for VP, was never an economic advisor...
