Obama's go to guy

Once Obama is inaugurated, there is no doubt in my mind that he will be turning to many sources of information (people) to help him run the country the way he sees fit. However, the question becomes: which person will he turn to first? which person can he trust to give him his or her valid opinion? After pondering this thought, I came to the conclusion that it will most likely be the speaker of The House. Of course Obama will have other sources that he will turn to, such as the vice president, who will give him valid information. However, if Obama and Biden both die in some freak accident, the speaker of The House will be the one to run the country. I think that if Obama is smart, he will try to have as much influence as he can to sway voters into getting who he wants to be the speaker of The House (keep in mind this must be the fair choice, not just a democrat because he is a democrat, or a republican just because he is a republican). That way, he knows that if he is in a freak accident with Biden, the country will be in good hands.

Keep in mind that the speaker of The House must be knowledgeable in both sides of the conflict, and will not just agree with Obama because he is The President.
