WHERE IN THE WORLD IS BARACK OBAMA

Looks like Illinois' new Senator is seeing some country before settling down in D.C.

Via Channel 7 in Omaha:

Illinois Senator-elect Barack Obama has wasted no time in getting advice from the top. In Omaha earlier this week, it seems he was getting some from Omaha's own billionaire investor Warren Buffett.

and via KPUA AM670 in Hilo:

A Punahou School graduate who recently was elected to the U-S Senate in Illinois will return to Honolulu next month to speak at a Democratic Party fund-raising event.

Barack Obama will be honored at the December 16th event at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Coral Ballroom.

The following morning, the 43-year-old Obama is expected to visit Punahou School, where he graduated in 1979, to speak to students. School president James Scott says Obama has been asked to talk about his own personal journey and why he has selected a life of public service.

I hope that Robert Gibbs told Lynn Sweet about these trips.
