I have not had much time to blog this week due to work schedule so I won't spend much time on old news. Congratulations to President-Elect Obama, I sincerely hope his brand of change is the change we need. I also hope that those who did not vote for him will treat him with the honor and respect that was not shown President Bush. Here is an article from the Chicago Tribune about Obama's new White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. These appointments should be looked at very carefully, because they will be very telling of the tone and direction of the Obama will take. Also, here are the results from ballot measures in different states across the country listed by topic:
