After a nearly two-year campaign for the White House, Barack Obama is likely to spend his first day as president-elect out of view from the public.He will not hold a press conference, campaign aides told CNN, though he is expected to hold one by the end of the week. [...]
Instead, Obama will meet with key advisors and begin making decisions about his transition team, including who will serve as his White House chief of staff. Reports say Obama is close to naming Illinois Rep. Rahm Emanuel to that post, but that has not been confirmed.
He's even avoiding photo ops. Good. He needs some time, some privacy, and a chance to do what he needs to do.
