I¹ve already used this as an in-class point, because
in the previous class meeting we had discussed
groupthink. Thought others would want to be aware
of the quote.

President-Elect Barack Obama, Dec. 1, 2008,
Commenting on the former adversaries, and
persons coming from other political parties
as part of his National Security Team:
³One of the dangers in a White House, based
on my reading of history, is that you get
wrapped up in groupthink, and everybody
agrees with everything, and there¹s no
discussion and there are no dissenting views.
So, I¹m going to be welcoming a vigorous debate
inside the White House. But, I understand... as
Harry Truman said, the buck will stop with me.²
