erynthered Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 So when the Messiah does his press conferences, he stands at a podium with a sign on the front that says" "Office of President-Elect" Is this something new? Whats the address of this office? Does it come with a desk and a phone? Does it come with a special Office of President-Elect seal? Does it have its own little Rose garden outside its window? Is there a Lincoln Bedroom up stairs above the "Office of President elect"?I dont remember previous Presidents doing this. Its not like he needs to remind anyone. Or maybe he has a wee bit of an ego issue. Just thought it a bit odd. Then again, he's a Liberal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Adams Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Bush has been in the Office of People Who Don't Give a sh-- for quite some time. I didn't vote for Obama but as far as I'm concerned, he should be sworn in right this second. At least he wants to do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastaJoe Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Recent previous transitions didn't occur in such dire straits, so there hasn't been a need to reassure the public and financial markets like there is now. Perhaps if Bush was more involved and decisive, Obama wouldn't need to take such action. But since Bush has checked out, somebody has to show there are steps being taken to improve the situation in the near future. The title is correct, anyone talking at the podium is part of the Office of the President Elect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erynthered Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 Yeah I guess you're right. He spent about 600 million to get that job. My attempt at Satire with a large dose of sarcasm was pretty weak, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StupidNation Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I don't remember any part of the office of presidency to make an economy work. As a matter of fact the president, no matter what his name is or party affiliation, will do more harm to an economy than help it unless his role is to protect against corporatism (soft-fascism) where laws are made in favors of corporations against the freedoms of other Americans, or socialism where freedom is simply restricted, and finally to protect the dollar against inflation and back it with real value. The more meddling they do, the worse it gets. Other than that the economy should be state issue decisions. Economies can be shattered with central planning as history shows, and as long as the gov't gets out of the way and does not give special laws to help corporations that is the best solution to reward creativeness and hard-work. If any president's plan is to stimulate the economy through inflation and phoney job creation he misses the point where he does more harm, not only to liberty, but also to the economy spending fake money and keeping a bubble inflated. Why should corporations that have become inefficient be rewarded for being fat and inefficient against wage earners who produce and expand an economy? I thought this president was going after the "fat-cats" so he rewards them by feeding them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how the same people who pulled their hair out over "Bush's trashing of the Constitution" now have ZERO PROBLEM doing JUST THAT to meet the needs of "Our Savior, Barack H Obama."

Funny how the same people who pulled their hair out over "Bush's trashing of the Constitution" now have ZERO PROBLEM doing JUST THAT to meet the needs of "Our Savior, Barack H Obama." Anything Obama is "doing" now (meeting with Joint Chiefs, discussing his policy etc) is being done with Bush's explicit permission. Bush can't wait to get as far away from the mess he's leaving as possible, and get back to cuttin brush which, it seems, is the one thing the poor man is good at. If you want to have a heart attack, I read an op-ed today calling for Bush and Cheney to resign now, putting Pelosi in charge until Obama is sworn it. So maybe you ought to count your blessings.

Funny how the same people who pulled their hair out over "Bush's trashing of the Constitution" now have ZERO PROBLEM doing JUST THAT to meet the needs of "Our Savior, Barack H Obama." Obama makes a point when he speaks to say we only have one president at a time, but he is trying to reassure the public that his administration will be ready to go to work on day 1, and are already formulating policies. With the support of Congress, he may go from the inauguration to signing a stimulus package. Your suggestion that people being anxious for an involved leader to take office equates to trying to trash the Constitution is a stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UConn James Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Actually, there is an official transition office in Chicago. There's one in DC as well. As such, you can call it the office of the president-elect. Your problem is that they added capital letters? Dude isn't trying to horn in on the presidency and he made abundantly clear in the pressers that he's not president until 20 Jan. WhyTF are you complaining about everything? I didn't vote for him, but GET OFF HIS breasts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keukasmallie Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Oh golly, erynthered, ya'll's not s'posed to criticize a Democrat, and a liberal at that. Y'all's s'posed to nod, smile, and gaze with wonder as the Mz Pelosi, Musta Reid, Prez'dint Obama machine synthesizes into a seamlessly smooth entity that resolves all problems, rises above the petty and delivers the world to the promised land. Can I have an A-man? Save all that po' mouthin for them misguided Republican boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
