Obama Already Has a White House Transistion Team

In another display of arrogance, Barack Obama has already assembled a transition team for when he becomes president:

The Democratic candidate is putting together a team to prepare him for taking office in January should he win the Nov 4 election. It is headed by John Podesta, Bill Clinton’s chief-of-staff when he was in the White House.

A senior adviser traveling with Mr Obama on his global tour told Atlantic.com: “Barack is well aware of the complexity and the organisational challenge involved in the transition process and he has tasked a small group to begin thinking through the process.

“Barack has made his expectations clear about what he wants from such a process, and the establishment and execution of his timeline is proceeding apace.”

Barack already took flack for his personal presidential seal, and he had it removed. This is another opportunity for the McCain campaign to show how full of himself Obama really is. What did they do:

A McCain spokesperson said the campaign would not discuss the subject with reporters.

Brilliant. That’ll show ‘em. Either I am missing something, or these guys are running one of the most inept campaigns I have ever seen. Maybe they are expecting the Republican party and 527s to do the dirty work.
