Newsmax ^ | 11/10/08 | Jim Meyers

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 ...

Well he is already having meetings with foreign dignitaries and terrorists why not give himself a title?

This man is one ego-maniac! Boy are we in for a nightmare!

That’s OK. Given his incompetence, we’ll soon have the Office of the Disgraced.

There’s no way any of his plans can work, so let’s wait and see how our math-impaired press tries to wiggle out of this one.

I thought about a new bumper sticker: “We Are S0 Screwed” with the Obama “O” in so.

I invented...

The Office of Disgruntled Conservative, Taxpayer, and Veteran

I'm drawing up plans and a logo for the Office of "Bend Over and Share Your Wealth" right now.

Is it my imagination, or do Bidens lips have a brown ring around them?

It wouldn't surprise me if he has "Hail to the Chief", rewritten with a new hip hop beat! ;-)

There even isn’t a President-Elect until Congress counts and ratifies the results of the Electoral College in early January.

The Office of the President-elect comes from the Presidential Transition Act of 1963.

Don’t forget that Chris Matthews and his kind will fabricate more propaganda to sway Public opinion or cover for any mistake he makes.

If you think he has become a god now, wait for a few months and years. He will be declared God in the flesh.

Even with the World economy melting down, he will do NO wrong. This exactly what I feared most starting a year ago, when the media began covering for him and guzzling the Marxist Koolaid.

In my mind, I keep seeing the scene from “The Mummy” in which the zombies walk in cadenced steps with outstreched arms saying,”O - BA - MA! O - BA - MA!”

(Or was that Imhotep?)

I agree, these guys are all about fancy logos and signs. Too bad there is no substance behind the facade. It’s been all marketing from day one.
