Outside Reading #12

Article- "Obama says thanks on last day as Illinois senator"
CNN.com

Now that the election is over, it seems like people can't get enough of our new president. I was surprised to read that CNN did a full article on the letter Obama wrote to Illinois them. They included many quotes from the article. Usually, the new president doesn't resign until they are sworn into office, like what Joe Biden is doing, but Obama already had his last day in the senate. I think the reason is that he wants to get a head start preparing for his new job, and i also think it's because they want to get a replacement for him before the new senators come in on January 6th.
