The President’s Cabinet: Reporting to You--video project shares a year of progress

The Obama Administration has launched an important new video project: The President's Cabinet Reporting To You.

In this set of videos, the Cabinet members share a brief sense of what our departments achieved in the last year and what we have lined up for the year to come.

When President Obama and his Cabinet took office a year ago, we faced an array of historic challenges: an economy in freefall, job losses averaging almost 700,000 a month, a middle class under assault, two wars and badly frayed global alliances, and a staggering $1.3 trillion budget deficit.

Faced with these unparalleled challenges, we got to work. The Administration took bold steps to rescue the country from a potential second Great Depression; to rebuild the economy for the long-term -- so businesses can thrive, the middle class can grow and all our families can be more secure; and to restore America’s leadership in the world, as we wrestle with the global challenges of the 21st Century.

The videos are reminders of how much we've achieved and how much we have planned to keep America moving forward this year.

Now, beyond the video content itself, one great feature on the website is CLICKABLE HEADS!

Yes, that's right--just hover your cursor over the head of your favorite Cabinet figure, give your mouse a click, and that person's video opens on your screen.

By the way, if you're trying to figure out which video is mine, it's the one with the guy busy at his desk, looking like he can't wait to get back to work on behalf of the American people.

Look, I don't know whether anyone's keeping score or not, but we're a competitive group. So just in case, go to the project website and click on Ray!

Dear Mr. LaHood:

Require all cell phones to stop functioning when their on-board GPS circuits detect motion of greater than 4 MPH.

Will this stop texting and talking while driving? YES.

(Will it also inconvenience non-operator travelers? YES - BUT THAT'S JUST TOUGH!)

The DOT has done a great deal over the past year to improve the transportation system at all levels to benefit the people including keeping people in transportation employed who otherwise would not be. And helping to ensure that transit dependent people such as the disabled community are able to continue working in their jobs as well by helping support transit. Best wishes, Michael E. Bailey.
