Obama Announces Transition Team -- and Web Site By Shailagh Murray voices.washingtonpost.com CHICAGO -- President-elect Obama unveiled his transition operation today, an ambitious effort aimed at preparing his administration to quickly meet the daunting challenges that await post-inauguration. The "Obama-Biden Transition Project" will be overseen by former White House chief of staff John D. Podesta; Obama friend and senior campaign adviser Valerie Jarrett; and Pete Rouse, Obama's former Senate chief of staff and top campaign aide. It will occupy offices in Washington and in a federal building in Chicago. Stay tuned later today for the launch of www.change.gov, the transition Web site. The transition co-chairs will work with an advisory board stacked with Clinton veterans and Obama and Joe Biden allies and confidants. On the list: former Environmental Protection Agency administrator Carol Browner; Obama friend and former Commerce Secretary William Daley, University of California-Berkeley law school dean Christopher Edley; Obama law school friends and advisers Michael Froman and Julius Genachowski; former Gore domestic policy adviser Donald Gips; Governor Janet Napolitano; former transportation secretary Federico Peña; Obama national security adviser Susan Rice and Sonal Shah of Google.org. Mark Gitenstein, and Ted Kaufman, old friends to Vice President-elect Biden, will serve as co-chairs of his transition team. Transition work started about 10 weeks ago, an informal process led by Podesta out of Washington. Separate teams studied previous transition efforts, Obama campaign promises, and the challenge faced by individual government agencies. A senior transition staff will oversee the day-to-day activities. Chris Lu, Obama's legislative director, will serve as executive director. Campaign communications director Dan Pfeiffer will move over into the same role. Stephanie Cutter, now Michelle Obama's chief of staff, will serve as chief spokesperson. Obama friend and Capitol Hill veteran Cassandra Butts will serve as general counsel, and campaign chief of staff Jim Messina will be personnel director. Phil Schiliro, a Capitol Hill veteran, will run congressional relations.

I blamed Clinton when the housing and next, the financial bubble hit. For extending equal credit to anybody for 'equal opportunity' reasons only, independent of credit ratings and/or - basic ability to pay back. Kind of funny, that 2-3 years ago, at BofA I was refused a home equity credit of 50k$ on top of our 150k$ mortgage on our home worth 800K$ (now 650k$) for having "too little US income". That in spite of our 8000+ credit rating ;) Amexco never had a problem when they invited us into their highest possible elite class after having paid them on time for 30+ years. I seriously doubt that the very same BofA branch had any other clients qualified for that credit card level. Taro
