Barack Obama has created a stir by proclaiming that he heads “The Office of President-Elect” — an office that does not officially exist.

At his first news conference on Nov. 7, Obama stood at a podium bearing a sign that read: “Office of the President-Elect. Also, his Web site, Change.gov, bears the words “Office of the President-Elect” at the top of its home page.

Writer Larry Anderson referred to the “made-up little title” on the American Thinker Web site, and declared: “I nearly busted a gut ...

“Once again, [Obama] can’t wait to invest himself with the trappings of office.”

Conservative columnist Michelle Malkin wondered: “What other make-believe offices are they going to invent between now and Inauguration Day? I can’t ever recall in my lifetime any mention of such an office.”

Trump now also has a logo as president-elect, but more tasteful than Obama’s was. Also a new social media presence as president-elect, so far mostly a mirror for his established presence as Donald Trump.

I vaguely remember some affirmative action fascist black guy, but joy and hope are erasing it.

This is meant as a lampoon of Trump.

It winds up revealing how little and petty Obama is.

I wonder if P/E Trump’s hair will turn grey, or if he will keep coloring it blonde.

His logo carefully omits the words “The Office of.” In other words, it’s a personal logo without the bogus trappings of official sanction.

Soon Obama will be “Office of former failed President”.

Day can’t come too soon.

I think we will see him creating the “Office of the President Emeritus” from which to pontificate and bloviate against President Trump for the next four years.

Yep - and he's soliciting inputs from the People who love the Nation and Constitution vs. telling them how it's gonna be because he won.

I bet he and his staff get some chuckles from the "suggestions" of the leftist deadbeats.
