It seems like some people here are getting confused about who Barack Obama is. He certainly isn't Hillary Clinton, or Bill Richardson.
Hillary Clinton: Blonde haired senator from New York. Former first lady. Secretary of State. Not the president-elect.
Bill Richardson: Governor of New Mexico. Energy Secretary in the Clinton Administration. Commerce secretary in upcoming administration. Not the president-elect.
Robert Gates: Former director of Central Intelligence under George H.W Bush. Current Secretary of Defense. Secretary of Defense for upcoming administration. Not the president-elect
Tim Geithner: President of the Fed. Secretary of the Treasury in upcoming administration. Not the president-elect.
Eric Holder: Former Deputy Attorney General of the United States. Future Attorney General in upcoming administration. Not the president-elect
Rahm Emanuel: DCCC chair for 2006 mid-terms. White house chief of staff for upcoming administration. Not the president-elect.
Barack Obama is the next president of the United States. These people are merely his work horses, but many of you seem to be forgetting one simple point.
He's going to be the one making the decisions. He's going to be dictating policy. He's going to have a tight reign over his cabinet and his entire administration. If you need further evidence of this see here.
Or here.
Everybody needs to chill the funk out. He hasnt even taken office yet.
