Barack Obama enters the White House with public expectations of his success far higher than for any president in a generation, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll. 
In a move intended to force public testimony from President-elect Barack Obama's inner circle, a lawyer for Gov. Rod Blagojevich has asked the legislative panel considering impeachment of the governor to subpoena more than a dozen witnesses, including Obama's incoming chief of staff. 
Gov. Rod Blagojevich needs time to put together a legal team and political consultation to defend himself against federal corruption charges but feels he's "not getting space or a chance to sort anything out," according to one of several pastors who prayed with the embattled governor at his North Side home Friday morning.
