President-elect Barack Obama has put forth an aggressive agenda for his administration, supporters say.
WASHINGTON (CNN) - The transition team for President-elect Barack Obama has indicated it plans to hit the ground running with what could be big changes for the country. But that massive agenda has Republicans - and some Democrats - wary of moving too fast. Democrats are eyeing an ambitious agenda with plans to take on the economy, health care, energy and education - issues that are all intertwined, according to a leader of Obama's transition team. "So these are all core, if you will, economic questions, and they need to be tackled together, and I think he'll have a program and a strategy to move aggressively across all those fronts," John Podesta said Sunday on CNN's "Late Edition." A similar message is coming from Rep. James Clyburn, one of Obama's chief allies in Congress. Filed under: Barack Obama Transition 2008 |
