One day after he was elected president, Obama has announced the names of the members of his transition team, which was mostly formed of ex- advisers of former president Bill Clinton.
He has also made a proposal to be his chief of staff to Rahm Emanuel, ex- adviser of Bill Clinton, and close friend to Obama.Yesterday, Democrat Rahm Emanuel has officially accepted President-elect Obama’s proposal and is therefore his new Chief-of-Staff.
In a press release Obama has announced the names of his transition team supervisors: John D. Podesta, former chief of staff for Clinton, Valerie Jarret, one of Obama’s loyal and long time advisers, and Pete Rouse, former chief of staff of Obama’s Senate team.
The team also includes Carol Browner, for environment issues, William Daley, former Secretary of Commerce, Christopher Edley, Michael Froman and Julius Genachowski, Donal Gips, Governor Janet Napolitano, Federico Pena, Susan Rice and Sonal Shah, from Google.org.
This week Obamas’s team will launch their official website, www.change.gov, which will keep us up to date with the new president’s actions.
