M.I.P. Most Important Pal

Okay, so at first when I was thinking about who Obama's most important helper is going to be, I was thinking maybe like...the head of Homeland Security or something like that. However, the more I thought about it, the more I think that it should actually be the Speaker of the House, and here's why. Joe Biden shouldn't be his most important go to guy because I feel that he would just agree with whatever Obama wants to do. Example: in order to be in Obama's campaigne, Biden totally bashed on McCain, despite their being such good "friends". I don't necessarily trust Joe to stick to his guns. God forbid, but if something bad should happen to both the President and the VP, the Speaker of the House is the next person in line to run the country. This person has to be up to snuff with all the happenings in America and elsewhere, but is also separated enough from the President that I would assume that they would be less inclined to agree with whatever President Obama has to say. And the Speaker has to preside over all sort of important meetings in Congress, which is "where the magic happens" as far as law making goes. There are a lot of important people that Obama is going to have to surround himself to pull us out of this crisis, but I think that Speaker of the House, Nancy, will prove to be most important.
