Officially since yesterday (Sunday, Nov 16th 2008) Barack Obama is not an officer again as a Senate from Illionis. The winner of 2008 US Election announced his resignation in a letter published in Illionis newspapers, and the one who will replace him will be appointed at the end of 2008.

After not being a member of the congress anymore, it means that he will not follow the congressional debate this week which is going to talk about a stimulus package to jump-start the nation’s struggling economy.

While Congress debates about how to boost US economy, which is slowing down and affecting many countries around the world -whether developed or developing countries-, on the other hand at the same time Barack Obama is building his team to go to the White House.

So far, the team is a combination of Washington veterans and trusted campaign aides. Until now Barack Obama is not yet announced who are the people who will be post in his cabinet.
