FEDERAL PRESIDENTIAL TRANSITION RESOURCES

OFFICIAL OBAMA TRANSITION SITE - APPLY THERE!

The United States government sponsors the Presidential Transition every four years.  The horror of the 9-11 terrorist attacks resulted in a redesign of the entire official process.  The official program started about three months ago and is funded for the President-Elect.  There is a budget for staff, office, phones and all the other activities of the President-Elect as  he prepared for the January 20th inauguration.  Much of the important information on the early transition activities on this site is on the Transition Page.  Citizens looking for positions should look at the Transition Page as well.
