What the hell is the “Office of the President-Elect?”
Michelle Malkin ^ | November 7, 2008 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 11/07/2008 2:25:18 PM PST by lowbridge

Okay, it’s one thing to take your campaign website, transfer it to a dot-gov domain, and invent an “Office of the President-Elect” out of whole cloth.

But now we’ve got Sen. Obama standing in front of a podium, in front of the world, for his first transitional press conference with an official-looking sign that reads “Office of the President-Elect.” Is that the official seal of the U.S. on the sign? Do they have authority to use it? 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. Can you?

Strictly speaking Obama isn’t President-elect until the electoral college votes.

Well, he did say there’s only room for one president at a time.

Actually, he’s not even the president elect until the Electors cast their votes, whenever that is.

For one thing, Michelle, it’s misspelled. He’s the Present-Elect.

I think we’re interpreting this backwards, Obama is not crowing about his importance, he is emphasizing that he is not responsible for anything. And after seeing his “performance” today, thank goodness.

I’m surprised this is the first post I saw on the subject of that podium. That guy is so presumptuous. I remember him talking about how cool it is to have Secret Service protection also. I think he likes the perks of the presidency but doesn’t want to have any actual responsibility. If (big if) the press ever starts turning on him, he is in for one wild ride.

Just another government program to hand out jobs, the actual office of the President Elect resides at Bill Ayers house.

I like what someone else on this thread said. Present-Elect Obama. And Present Obama when he is elected.

(Is there some subliminal message here with the spell-check. Every time I write Obama, a red line is inserted underneath. lol)
