Offices Open for Obama Transition Team
U.S. General Services Administration is providing space
The Obama transition team on Wednesday was given the keys to its government offices.
Under the Presidential Transition Act of 1963, the U.S. General Services Administration is responsible for providing a new administration with office space, information technology, furniture, equipment, and logistical support.
GSA Acting Administrator James A. Williams is authorized to release federal funds for the day-to-day support of transition activities. "This is an historic moment for our nation and for GSA," GSA Presidential Transition Director Gail Lovelace said. "Our team has worked more than two years to complete this headquarters and help facilitate the orderly transfer of executive power."
The 2008 Presidential Transition Headquarters, located in downtown Washington, provides approximately 120,000 square feet of fully furnished and computer-equipped office space.

Inauguration events
I congratulation you on the election of a democrat to the White house. As a liberal democrat i can not express my joy. But i must say the the management of the inaugurational event was not well managed. To have band marching in the streets after dark and without an audience does not instill a example of good management. Also, the benediction delivered my the Reverand Lowery was a little over the top. I understand that he came out of the sixty's civil right movement, and he earned his day on the podium, but his message is old and stale, just the same as for former dixie democrat, now labeled republican, has to say. It's a diferent day and move on.
