Ray LaHood became the 16th American Secretary of Transportation today at 1:00 PM today. Exciting, eh?

P.S.: There are no longer any links on the transport politic‘s sidebar; rather, we’ve moved the links to a new page, called the transport connection, at http://thetransportconnection.wordpress.com, which provides RSS feeds for each of the blogs linked. Hope this is a useful resource.

The interview lasted 30 minutes, just Mr. Obama and Mr. LaHood.

“Look, Rahm Emanuel loves you,” Mr. Obama told Mr. LaHood as he prepared to leave. “He is really pressing me and pushing me. And it’s not that I don’t want to do it, but … ”

A few days later, Mr. LaHood was picked to be secretary of transportation.
