Per Barack Obama's transition office, his sched today:
This morning, President-elect Barack Obama will attend parent teacher conferences at his daughters’ school with his wife Michelle.
After a meeting with Vice President-elect Joe Biden, Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and the Transition Economic Advisory Board, President-elect Obama will hold a 1:30 p.m. (central) press conference at the Hilton Chicago. He will also attend additional transition meetings, receive his daily intelligence briefing, record the Democratic Radio Address, and return additional post-election political and protocol calls. There will be no personnel announcements today.
The Transition Economic Advisory Board will help guide the work of the Obama-Biden transition team in developing a strong set of policies to respond to the economic crisis.
I see President Elect Obama has hit the ground running. This guy is amazing and included taking time for his daughters. I hope Hannity and Rush don't start their Chicken Little rants.The guy has enough on his hands and took alot of abuse from the McCain camp in name smearing so let's all just get a life and let the man try to get started with this mess with out a bunch of moaning. Unless you just want something to rant about. God Speed Obama.
I just watched Obama's first briefing in Chicago... he is going to be an excellent President. The man has the ability to act with humility, jest, severity, all in one package. He will be much better than Clinton. Thank God that this man came along at a time when we need him most. I am grateful of our democratic system, and that it worked for us.
Although President elect Obama looked a bit tired at this afternoon's press conference I think he did a great job on covering a wide range of topics (including the pressing family agenda of finding the first puppy for the girls...too cute!)
I agree that just 3 days from sweeping Mccain under the rug, he is hitting the ground running. I'm excited that he is not overly interfering w/ the conclusion of the Bush Administration. But, at the same time he is doing a great job of reassuring the country that he is going to be a great president. Despite the fact that Rush Limbaugh called him a 'thug' today...smh...what a sore loser!
