The Obama Transition Period Part Three

The Washington Post: Reports on the Transition period between the Election and the Inauguration of the new President on January 20th 2009. The article to be fair still has McCain in the race but lets cut the bull its going to be an Obama Administration. Obama should seek the advice of Bill Clinton on this matter, his transition was not great, the period become defined as Gays in the military issue, rather than the economy, the Post writes the following on the view of those that are dealing with the transition on the Obama side, " They believe that much of President Bill Clinton's ineffectiveness in his first year can be traced to bad decisions during the transition and his first days in office. " . The Clinton Administration also went through more nominees for Attorney General that I have had healthy meals! Thus this is an important period for a new Obama Administration. The first two things he will face will be calls for tax raises before he gets his tax cuts and also as the Post writes, " Antiwar groups would press Obama to start the process of ending the war in Iraq. ". Its one thing to Campaign on ending the War in Iraq its another when the War is over, its Afghanistan that has seen more deaths of late not Iraq. If an Obama Administration gets out to quick, a few very bad things could happen, a Civil War in Iraq, Iran invading or taking over Iraq. The price of Oil going up due to Iran taking over the Oil of Iraq. All these problems would come from an Obama plan to get out of Iraq in a hurry. The left has not interest in Afghanistan either but Obama would lose his second term if he either got out of Afghanistan or attacked Pakistan. Thus a President Elect Obama will have to make sure that his Administration is not defined by others or by own mistakes.
