Taking the reins of power at a time of great economic crisis and in the middle of two wars, Team Obama has geared itself for not only a smooth transition, but also pushing its agenda on a fast-track basis from Day one.
In fact, soon after Barack Obama would be sworn in as the 44th President of the US, a small team of key Obama aids would move straight to White House to give a jump start to the administration's agenda.
Vans would be kept ready near the inaugural ceremony to take these Team Obama members to White House, even as the rest of the functions related to the inauguration would continue. Media reports said about 20 senior officials of the incoming Obama Administration had their paper work ready to enter the White House Tuesday afternoon.
On Wednesday – January 21 -- the first full working day of the new President, Obama has already convened meetings for his top two challenges – the economy and foreign policy, specially the two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
As his team is getting things ready, Obama would be meeting his key economic advisors and top economic officials to give a final shape to the mega economic stimulus package so that the process of recovery and reinvestment of American economy begins at the earliest. Obama believes this is very important to generate confidence among the investors, people and the business class.
