Any news on what Barack the President is doing this morning?
Flying to Hawaii for the funeral? Organizing the Cabinet? Sleeping? Anything?

1. Working with his team.
The news said he would be working for the next three
days and then make an announcement Friday.

I keep wondering when he's going to Toot's funeral, too.

2. #2. Getting his team in place from what I've heard/read. And
most likely enjoying being out of the spotlight for a day.

<<Obama began his first full day as president-elect with the simple pleasure of having breakfast with his daughters, the type of everyday activity with his family that he often said during the nearly two-year campaign was his greatest sacrifice.

Later in the morning, Obama left the house alone, clad in workout clothes, a ball cap and sunglasses and carrying a newspaper on his lap. He ducked into a friend's apartment building where he usually uses the gym while in Chicago. About a dozen onlookers expecting his arrival had gathered with cameras and cell phones to get a glimpse of him.

He planned to go straight to his campaign headquarters after the work out to thank his staff.

Obama planed to stay home at least through the weekend, spending more time with his family turning to the business of the transition in earnest. Campaign advisers have already presented him with names to review for key positions, but they said he wasn't focused on filling the jobs before winning the election.>>

5. CNN said that Obama is spending the next few days with family in Chicago ... laying low.
Getting some much needed rest and time with his family. However they did say he will be working on his administration org. chart.

Time to start lining up the job interviews ....
