President-elect Barack Obama may not be back in Washington yet, but a downtown D.C. building is already housing his presidential transition office to start appointing government staff and build a new administration to slide into power January 20.
Washington residents, workers and visitors have seen security ramp up around the square-block office building for a week. The Department of Justice has an annex in the same building. One of their divisions had to be moved from the basement to accommodate the Obama transition team, according to one employee.
