President-elect Obama stepped into the Oval Office for the first time today. Today’s visit between the incoming and outgoing Presidents is more than a formality. It represents an historic transfer of power, unlike any seen before in the United States. Built by slaves, the White House will be occupied by an African-American First Family.

The President-elect and future First Lady met the Bushes at the South Portico of the White House. Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Bush broke off for a tour of the White House while President-elect Obama and President Bush strolled past the Rose Garden and then sat down for a meeting in the Oval office.

Barack Obama is campaigning in my great state of North Carolina today. On the (tar)heels of the General Colin Powell endorsement, Obama spoke to supporters in Fayetteville, home to the naton's largest military base, Ft. Bragg.

Obama won over loud cheers with his pie story when he mentioned, "sweet potato pie" a favorite in the state, but his most poignant moment of the speech was when he slammed McCain for calling him a socialist.

John McCain, appearing on CNN's "American Morning" stated that despite what the numbers say, his Economic Plan that includes continuing Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy, would balance the budget.

CNN's John Roberts posed the question, "Senator, you can't get over the fact, though, that extending the Bush tax cuts, as you want to do, and adding in your tax cuts do take the deficit number from -- we actually go from a $70 billion surplus to a $445 billion deficit. So, it's those tax cuts."

McCain avoided directly answering the question and offered a classic Republican talking point: "It's Government Over Spending."

Elizabeth Edwards continues to smack down McCain’s plan for the "healthy and wealthy" emphasizing the fundamental flaw of the individual market, the centerpiece of McCain’s plan.

"McCain’s never been in the individual market, he doesn’t know how difficult it is, in fact, how impossible it is, if you happen to be one of the unlucky Americans who have a pre-existing condition," Elizabeth stated on MSNBC today.

Selling out to Big Oil, John "Exxon" McCain has flip flopped on his support of a moratorium on offshore drilling. In a major speech today, McCain will announce his support for off shore drilling.

Senator Obama has hit back quickly:

"John McCain's support of the moratorium on offshore drilling during his first presidential campaign was certainly laudable, but his decision to completely change his position and tell a group of Houston oil executives exactly what they wanted to hear today was the same Washington politics that has prevented us from achieving energy independence for decades," he said in a statement.

Speaking to the "18 million...from all walks of life," who voted for her, Hillary congratulated and endorsed Barack Obama, stating:

"The way, the way to continue our fight now, to accomplish the goals for which we stand is to take our energy, our passions, our strengths and do all we can to help elect Barack Obama, the next president of the United States."
