Obama Invents 'Office of the President-Elect'
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 ...

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

His sign “Office of the President Elect” is lot like my pillow that says “Princess Of Quite A Lot”.

These retards don’t know how idiotic they look behind that ridiculous sign. A dangerously incompetant, ego-maniacle activist is not someone you want heading a government. Especially when he is backed by a majority of power hungry sycophants.

It would be funny if it wasn’t so dangerous.

I saw CNN yesterday in a public building. They were showing pictures of a plane at an airport.

Why?

‘This is the plane President elect Obama will take when he leaves DC...we’ll be sure to let all our viewers know the MOMENT the President-elects leaves the Capital!’

GAG!!!!

Big deal. Like it or not, the president elect does carry a huge amount of power. In some ways, more than the sitting president.

If Obama can get Bush and what's left of the Republicans in Congress to help push us to the Shangri-la of Socialism, it can be added to history's heap of failed policies of the Bush Administration...

It wouldn't surprise me if he has "Hail to the Chief" rewritten

Or...re-named "Heil to the Chief".

I think his current title should be “Office of Dumbass-in-Waiting”

Don’t forget to thank any dimocrat friends for this notalentassclown. I can’t believe people were so stupid as to fall for a two word campaign. If they were any dumber, we’d have to water them twice a day.

I think the cutesy sign is a bit over the top

It certainly is, nobody from Nixon through Bush the second had such a sign printed up.

Clearly, we can see from this and the phonied up "Presidential Seal" that Zero used during the campaign, he likes his bling. This might be the Achilles heel that he's not even aware of yet. Remember when Nixon dressed the White House police in those silly-ass uniforms that made us look like a banana republic? I'm sure somebody here has a picture.

We're not going to have any media cooperation in exposing this pompous fool, but he might just provide us the ammunition we need to reveal him for who he is.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Presidential limousine decked out like a Pimp-Mobile.

Sidelights, fancy spinning rims,continental kit.

People wanted the campaign to end so they could go back to watching “Ow! My Balls!”
