The Presidency of Barack Obama has begun at his inauguration on January 20, 2009 at 12 noon, EST, as the 44th and current President of the United States of America. Obama defeated Arizona Senator John McCain in the 2008 presidential election.
Transition period
Main article: Presidential transition of Barack ObamaThe presidential transition period began following Obama's election to the presidency on November 4, 2008. The Obama-Biden Transition Project was co-chaired by John Podesta, Valerie Jarrett, and Pete Rouse. During the transition period, Obama announced his nominations for his Cabinet and administration. Shortly after the election on November 6, Obama chose Representative Rahm Emanuel of Illinois as his Chief of Staff. Cabinet nominations included former Democratic primary rivals Hillary Rodham Clinton for Secretary of State and formerly Bill Richardson for Secretary of Commerce. On December 1, Obama announced that he had asked Robert Gates to remain as Secretary of Defense, making Gates the first Defense head to carry over from a president of a different party. Obama will also restore the United States Ambassador to the United Nations to a Cabinet-level position, and nominated former Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Susan Rice for the position. In the midst of a global financial crisis, Obama nominated Timothy Geithner as Secretary of the Treasury.
