Transition team
Obama announces his formal transition staff, drawn from his campaign team, Senate staff, and informal advisers. MSNBC is also reporting that Rahm Emanuel has signed on as White House chief of staff.
The "advisory board" is heavy on the old friends and law school classmates, as well as trusted backers, who have been there all along:Carol Browner, William Daley, Christopher Edley, Michael Froman, Julius Genachowski, Donald Gips, Governor Janet Napolitano, Federico Peña, Susan Rice, Sonal Shah, Mark Gitenstein, and Ted Kaufman. The latter two are Biden advisers.

Chris Lu – Executive Director
Dan Pfeiffer – Communications Director
Stephanie Cutter – Chief Spokesperson
Cassandra Butts – General Counsel
Jim Messina – Personnel Director
Patrick Gaspard – Associate Personnel Director
Christine Varney - Personnel Counsel
Melody Barnes – Co-Director of Agency Review
Lisa Brown – Co-Director of Agency Review
