What a Great Role Model!

There's an old adage that says we can always find the time to do what's important to us. Looking at Obama's schedule for today gives us an insight into what's important to him. It's been a long time since I've had a president who inspired me to be a better person. How about you?

The Obama Team sent out the President-elect's schedule for today that includes the list of economic advisers he'll be meeting with:

This morning, President-elect Barack Obama will attend parent teacher conferences at his daughters' school with his wife Michelle.

After a meeting with Vice President-elect Joe Biden, Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and the Transition Economic Advisory Board, President-elect Obama will hold a 1:30 p.m. (central) press conference at the Hilton Chicago. He will also attend additional transition meetings, receive his daily intelligence briefing, record the Democratic Radio Address, and return additional post-election political and protocol calls.

The Transition Economic Advisory Board will help guide the work of the Obama-Biden transition team in developing a strong set of policies to respond to the economic crisis. The Board includes:

· David Bonior (Member House of Representatives 1977-2003)
