WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Barack Obama has arrived on Capitol Hill for talks with key congressional leaders, kicking his transition into high gear.
Obama’s motorcade arrived at the U.S. Capitol in late morning and the president-in-waiting went immediately into the building for a meeting with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
It was the second Obama sighting early Monday. His wife, Michelle, earlier escorted daughters Sasha and Malia to school.
Obama, in brief remarks to reporters, said he was “thrilled to be sitting with the speaker.” He also said: “The people’s business cannot wait.”
