What ever happened to a “lame duck” President. I guess the term only applies to Republicans.

It was important only because the Empty Suit, the Golfer-in-Chief was in it.

I was wondering the same thing the other day.

It is being put into storage, packed with mothballs. While there at the Concept Storage Facility, they’ll unpack things that have been sitting on ice for the past eight years, like stories about the homeless, gas prices and the national debt.
Expect lots of that to be making the rounds come February.

Since I am responding to a vanity, here is a mini-vanity of my own. If you subscribe to a physical newspaper, cancel it. If you get cable, drop it. The only way to kill these vampires is to cut off their funding. The stories about “the media hasn’t learned” are off the mark. They have an agenda, and don’t give a hot squat about learning anything.

OMG, you’re right! I have not heard president Obama referred to as a lame duck president yet. I guess the MSM is scared of appearing racist, lol. SMH! These sob’s are cray, cray.

I remember when Democrats demanded that Bush step down and let Obama get a running start. Could you imagine if Republicans said that today?

The “Office of the President Elect” was a figment of 0bama’s conceited imagination...

MTV only has Presidential balls at inauguration when Democrats win the elections.

In 2001 they lied and said that Gore’s delay of the determination of the President left them no time to adequately prepare.

I don’t recall their excuse in 2005.

They had one in 2009.

So many double standards from the “non-partisan” media.

I still have problems dealing with this slime having ever been elected.

Heck, I am not even adjusted to the Clinton administration yet.

He’s Donald Trump.

He doesn’t need to put on airs...

Heck I’m waiting for President elect Trump to petition obozo for an early move in date to the WH. Oh right. He respects the traditions not to mention the constitutional mandates of transfer of power to much to even suggest such a thing.

The concept of the Office of the President Elect is headed for the ash heap of history along with the malevolent teenager who once occupied it.

After January 20, Obama will have it changed to "The Office of the Preceding President" and he will use it for all of his pronouncements criticizing Trump.

No such thing. Obama gave himself an imaginary title like a child.
