Obama reaches out to Republicans

CHICAGO: In the third week of his transition to power, President-elect Barack Obama is working to build a cordial relationship with Republicans by seeking guidance on policy proposals, asking for advice on appointments and hoping to avoid perceptions of political arrogance given the wide margins of his victory.

Obama has made calls to Republican leaders, and he dispatched Rahm Emanuel, his chief of staff, to meet with them on Capitol Hill. He asked Republicans to support his economic recovery plan and was expected Monday to name Timothy Geithner, who worked with the Bush administration, as his choice for Treasury secretary.

And while he has yet to name any Republicans to cabinet positions, he is strongly considering for national security adviser James Jones, a retired Marine general who endorsed Senator John McCain during the election.
