Surinder Singh Randhawa/Gary Singh-LA
For the past few weeks, Barack Obama president-elect
is very busy to select and unveiling their new team, starting
with the announcements of top national security and economic players.
His staff may not be as operational in Washington as it was at
campaign headquarters in Chicago. For nearly two years, Obama's
political inner circle took great pride in the dearth of public
reports about personnel moves, fundraising numbers and staff friction
inside his campaign.
The agency review teams for the Obama-Biden transition are charged
with completing a thorough review of various departments, agencies
and commissions in the US government to craft policy, budgetary
and personnel decisions prior to the January 20, 2009 inauguration
date.
Barack Obama's victory is an inspiration to NRIs. Most of the
NRIs think that Mr. Obama stands for certain values and principles.
Perhaps it could energize an young NRIs to take the lead in shaping
the country's future. NRIs have been appointed to the Obama-Biden
transition team include:
National Security Team: The following NRIs appointed
as members of the state, national security, defence, intelligence
and arms control agency review team.
