Top Transition News - 12/31

Just how President-elect Barack Obama will use the Web to govern remains to be seen, but a new survey shows that his supporters are ready to work for his agenda online. (Washington Post, NationalJournal.com)

Obama has tried to walk a fine line during the transition, deferring to President Bush on foreign policy but not on economic issues. (Washington Post)

Protesters opposed to Israel's recent military action in Gaza demonstrated near Obama's vacation rental home Tuesday. (Politico)

District residents angling for a full voting member of Congress and perhaps even statehood are hopeful that Obama, who co-sponsored the DC Voting Rights bill, will be their man. (Boston Globe)

The digital companies that helped Obama overpower Republican nominee John McCain in online fundraising and organizing are now trying to "cash in" on their success. (Wall Street Journal)

Obama will likely have to tackle immigration reform and review a number of controversial Bush policies early in his term. (The Hill)

Obama's election made Kenyan youth believe anything is possible, but the harsh realities of a society in which blood lines overrule merit has brought those aspirations back to earth. (Los Angeles Times)

Despite retaining Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Obama has already dismissed a third of the Bush appointees at the Pentagon. (The Hill)

Obama plans to take his pitch for an economic stimulus package on the road after Jan. 20. (Los Angeles Times)

Reloading The Senate

Embattled Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich selected former state Attorney General Roland Burris to take Obama's seat in the Senate, despite Senate Democrats making clear that they will not seat any Blagojevich pick. (CongressDaily)

Caroline Kennedy's bid to replace Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton as New York's junior senator is being hampered by her frequent, and some argue distracting, use of the conversational filler "you know." (Washington Times)

Inauguration Conflagration

A group of atheists are suing to have "under God" and all prayers removed from the inauguration ceremony. (Washington Post)

"Have a backup plan for getting to the inauguration on Jan. 20," Dr. Gridlock advises. (Washington Post)

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post.
