WASHINGTON, Nov. 19 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President-elect Barack Obama announced more White House staff on Wednesday, including his long-time friends.

Craig and Brown both have worked for former President Bill Clinton's administration, as a special counsel and Counsel to the vice president, respectively.
Lu, Obama's Chinese-American classmate in Harvard Law School, has worked for Obama in a number of roles in the past four years.
Currently, he is the Executive Director of the Obama-Biden Transition Project, managing day-to-day operations of the transition.
Other candidates are speculated by U.S. media to take key White House posts included James Steinberg, deputy national security advisor in the Clinton's administration who is named to head a national security working group for Obama's transition team.
Another close foreign policy aide, Susan Rice, assistant secretary of state for African affairs between 1997 and 2001, is considered to work alongside Steinberg.
