This is the most insane thing I have read in a long time. There is nothing that qualifies Fox for this position. He couldn't even handle his own transportation issues in Charlotte. Does Obama plan to staff every position with incompetent, unsuccessful friends.

The network news I listened to (Fox) indicated he clitched the job due to the success he experienced with transportation projects in Charlotte.
