1. There is a website. Called Change.gov. I could stop right there. That’s creepy because a transition team’s website called, oh, for example “44thPresident.gov” is not sufficiently impressive. Here’s what’s really creepy about it, though. Don’t think of the word “change” there as a noun, or a verb, but as a command. Think of it as a command with the suffix .gov behind it. That gives me the willies right there.
2. It’s called Change.gov (part 2). Oh, and it’s a little juvenile to name an official United States government website after your campaign slogan (which was also Bill Clinton’s slogan, wasn’t it?). It has the feel of the kind of name a new student body president would give to her website — an American President, not so much. Could you imagine Abe Lincoln calling his website www.Honesty.gov? Not a grownup Abe Lincoln, is my guess.
3. OTRANS PRODUCTION SERVER. I tried to access the site when I first heard of it but apparently before it was ready for the public. It asked me for a username and password to get to the Otrans Production Server. The more I repeat those three words, the more I think of people-eating communist robots. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because it’s an anagram for “an undercover torpor sits”.
4. There is no such thing as the Office of the President-Elect, yet change.gov says it’s the website of that non-existant office. On November 7th, 2008, the office that Barack Obama holds is US Senator. Barack Obama’s public office will be US Senator until January 20, 2009. So, the title of the website being “Office of the President-Elect” is just a little weird.
5. Nearly everything Change.gov says. My wife tells me that reading the “service” section conjured images of the video for Pink Floyd’s Another Brick in the Wall Part 2. In the future, much electronic ink will be devoted to whether or not the words “universal” and “voluntary” should ever be next to each other, and so for now I will leave commentary bout Obama’s “America Serves” plans to others. One last thing about that section, though. There a quote at the top. Obama is now quoted without attribution to a particular speech or something similar, and doesn’t even say that the quote is from Obama. It’s just there, as if we are to imagine the words in red letter.
Only five?
I am glad I read that book.

There is no President-Elect until Congress counts and ratifies the votes of the Presidential Electors.

Rhetorical question: what would have been the reaction of the media if President-elect Bush had acted this way while Clinton was still the official president?
He’s not president YET.
And he will NEVER be my president.
This election was stolen by a Muslim/Marxist who had the power of millions of dollars worth of illegal campaign funds, the most powerful black radical racists, Muslim terrorists and America haters on the globe behind him.
He won’t bask in the glory of his victory in peace. We intend to go after him:

I’m glad I just invested in lead, and the iron with which to speed it off.
The implications are clear. Change is coming. But it will not be voluntary.Instead of creepy, the word we should be using is fear. Fear whats coming. The man behind the curtain has yet to reveal himself. When he does, be afraid,very afraid.
I have one of these coming next week. It would be great to see more around. It kind of shows my sentiment without being over the top about it.

Who allowed him to use a .gov domain?
Yesterday the history channel aired a lengthy program about Hitler, his rise to power, how he did it, and his family( to include a living relative who spoke about him after being assured her identity would not be revealed), as well as how he started out as an agitator. Hitler also produced data about his family and ordered that certain family records be destroyed. The longer I watched the program the more I started to see some amazing similarities to the present. Perhaps it was just me, but; I saw many things that Hitler did and that he believed in that reminded me of a man, his associates,and his unwillingness to reveal his family’s true identity as well as much about himself. The youth went crazy about him,too.
Some good photoshop work there...but what I’d like to see for “Darth Zero” is a Darth Vader helmet with cut-outs for his overly large ears...that would be a lasting symbol that would stick to him like tar.
”People get the kind of government they want...
...and deserve?”
The thing about that saying... half us DON’T want OR deserve Obama’s government. I sure as hell don’t.
