Ray LaHood out. Praises stimulus package, FAA reauth, safety, CAFE. Says best job he ever had.

Another Cabinet member is on the way out. Does Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood plan to envy the Chinese government from the private sector? He tells the Associated Press he has no “specific plans” and just wants to “go out while they’re applauding.”

@RayLaHood told @AP he will not run for office in home state of Illinois. "You should go out while they're applauding."
