Wasting no time, Barack Obama is moving into some major Washington,DC digs as he assembles his White House staff. Specifically, 120,000 Square Feet of office space coompliments of the GSA(General Services Administration) and our taxes. Putting that into perspective, that is the equivalent of 1200 10x10 standard office cubicles. Want to talk about WASTING OUR TAX DOLLARS...GSA Presidential Transition Director Gail Lovelace and her staff needed TWO YEARS to get this space ready for the transition! Must be nice to have TWO WHOLE YEARS to get a space ready that will be used for TWO WHOLE MONTHS!Offices Open for Obama Transition Team
U.S. General Services Administration is providing space
The Obama transition team on Wednesday was given the keys to its government offices.
Under the Presidential Transition Act of 1963, the U.S. General Services Administration is responsible for providing a new administration with office space, information technology, furniture, equipment, and logistical support.
GSA Acting Administrator James A. Williams is authorized to release federal funds for the day-to-day support of transition activities. "This is an historic moment for our nation and for GSA," GSA Presidential Transition Director Gail Lovelace said. "Our team has worked more than two years to complete this headquarters and help facilitate the orderly transfer of executive power."
The 2008 Presidential Transition Headquarters, located in downtown Washington, provides approximately 120,000 square feet of fully furnished and computer-equipped office space.
