Obama means business. Only one day after winning the presidency, Obama has selected his Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel. Representative Emanuel is from Obama’s congressional state of Illinois and was a former Clinton administration official. Over the coming weeks, Obama will select several key members of his administration that will help him in his transition to the White House on Jan. 20.
“Emanuel brings both White House and congressional experience to a key administration job. During the transition he will be instrumental in organizing staff and weighing in on other appointments. The No. 4 ranking Democrat in the House, Emanuel told reporters earlier in Chicago that he had ‘a lot to weigh’ given family considerations and his role in Congress.”

Another great decision by President elect Obama. It will take some time to correct eight years of the Bush corporation, but I think we are headed in the right direction. I cannot wait to see his other appointments. You are correct CB, Obama means business. He is no stranger to hard work, and he will have to work that much harder to get this country back on track and prove to the world that…we’re baaaaaaaaaaaaack!!! Let’s all roll up our sleeves. yes We Can.

Obama is not going to be playing around. I’ll bet he has his whole staff up and running a month before inauguration. Watch!
