Obama Donating Leftover Office Stuff To Schools

Brilliant. This move speaks about the foresight and efficiency of the Obama team.

ABC: So what happens to all the election offices across the United States that Barack Obama staffers have been working out of day and night for nearly two years?

Left behind -- as sleep-deprived campaign workers vacate the buildings -- are computers, campaign signs, buttons, file cabinets -- all remnants of a campaign done and won.

So what's a campaign to do with all this ... stuff?

The Obama campaign, well before the election was over, started putting a plan in place for all its leftovers -- one that the Obama campaign says is in alignment with a priority for President-elect Obama: education.

Working in conjunction with the nonprofit corporation, iloveschools.com, the campaign has donated items from 200 campaign offices across the country to school districts in 10 states.

"Tens of thousands of dollars of resources have been put into schools across the United States in less than four days," said Valarie Swanson, marketing director for iloveschools.com. "The Obama campaign was specific that they wanted all their resources to go to schools."

Obama transition team spokeswoman Jen Psaki said that the campaign partnered with the organization to "donate extra supplies and equipment in a socially responsible way."

The Obama campaign contacted Swanson's organization a couple of weeks before the election was over, with one requirement -- that 100 percent of the leftover campaign goods from specified offices would be pumped into school districts.
