But the "Office of the President-Elect," while critical in building the future government, has no official power -- which Obama himself acknowledged during his victory speech in Chicago on Election Night.

"It is an office -- it's just a quasi-government office for planning the takeover of the government," said Stephen J. Wayne, a professor at Georgetown University's department of government.

"Obama has no formal power as far as the existing government is concerned, but he has a lot of informal influence, which President Bush has encouraged," he added.



What was the question?

POTUSE

Notice it's dual meaning?

Yea that was kind of wierd to see the POTUSE get nationaly viewed press conference for things to come. Not a huge Obama fan here but lets just finish cutting off G-dubs head and get this sh!t rolling. Lets have inoguration on T-day, eat turkey, get drunk, and buy stuff the next day.

If no official power why the "advertisement".

Why not?

To make the holidays more joyous. GW is almost gone

It's so that the other 79% of the country who knows what an absolute disaster BushCorp has been can feel some sense of change and optomism, rather than reminding us that even with the election over there is plenty of time for BushCorp to foul things up even more.

Fish on...

CDS market value when GW Bush took office - 900 billion
CDS market value now - 62 trillion

I guess nobody noticed.

C'mon Hankster - everyone knows that WUTANG is for the Children

That's enough to give me hope.

Hankster's still bitter.

He was sure McCain had it in the bag.

Obama will save us all.........








I hope.

The fact is, Bush and Cheney ran up a HUGE tab. And all that dough went to thier No-bid contractor friends. Companies they owned major stakes in.

Like so huge you're lifetime gross income wouldn't even come close to denting it. Its a bar-tab of Reaganomic purportions.

Someone's gotta pay for it.

Guess who that is?

Yep. Joe Sixpack.

Obama... well he may not be perfect, but he's a whole schitload better than the azz-reaming we've been recieving.

Amen Hankster!

Obama's gonna save us all!

I quit my jobs and am waiting for my share of the wealth. He's gonna divide the wealth so none of us will have to worry about how to pay for our homes, cars, or any bills.
In about a week you will receive a check in the mail for $250,000. This is a stimulous package that will be given to all people who make less than $50,000 a year. I just saw this on CNN. It was knida weird though, the reporter looked like Dave Shapel with a wig,

The divide the wealth bit is getting old. I have NEVER heard him say anything like that. If you have please post that. In fact, he recently said he will put off, for at least a year, reinstating the Reagan era tax rates on the wealthy.



But, if you took the total bailout dollars spent and proposed - by both Democrats and republicans you will get well over $100,000 for every household in America. How are you planning to pay that?

If you want to see socialism in action look at the current bailout payments which give companies our tax dollars in exchange for a share of the company. That is pure socialism. Brought to you by GWB who very likely can’t spell socialism let alone define it.

The whole thing is a joke Dave. Kinda like the Dave Shapel video at the end.

Lighten up! or should I say Light one up!

KKKevin and Hank, get a room.

It's only just begun. Wait about a year and see how many people are out of work. this country/government cant opperate without money. If 10% of america is jobless, then who is paying the taxes to the Gov?
This country can't opperate if everyone is on welfare. A job pumping gas of flipping bugers is gonna sound pretty dam good in a year. The days of living beyond your means is over. Credit cards are gonna be given out to 800 fica scores and that' it. This world is gonna become a cash world very soon. The trust of the people has been taken advantage of too much. Coreection is here and it's gonna hurt.
