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?

A good way to put it!
But I think he and his worshippers would rather that we just call him The Elect.
No, he’s President-elect Uhh.
You are MAJORLY insulting Virginia Tech (known as the ‘Hokies’).
Think about him speaking Tuesday night - as he watches the crowd cheering him.... The Audacity of Ego
I don’t get some of things on which Michelle wishes to focus.
I had a client in this afternoon when his Obama-ness was on the big-screen in the room. He said, “you know, I wonder if anyone in the entire media knows the Constitution. You see that, he doesn’t even qualify for the non-existent office that he thinks he holds - he’s not POTUS-elect until the Electoral College meets and votes for him, and the Constitution has no such office anyway. But what do you expect of our media, the idiots?”
I can’t improve on that, other than to say that the government’s carpenters had better get busy making the doors in the White House a lot wider - so that Barry can fit his head through without bumping it.
NOT True. I saw on "bold and Beautiful" today (well, i can't stomach any of the news these days) Eric named Ridge AND Rick president of Forrester fashions.
I love those Hokies. No offense intended in that direction. How about idiotic sign.......

Unlike Clinton, who was President Erect.
Good point. You're 100% correct.
The real name for that part of the government is the GSA Transition Office.
I expect that the c,d,e,i,l,n,p,r,s and t keys to get worn out on all government keyboards from typing the phrase "President-Elect" all the time.
Hell, Pelosi and Reed are probably going to go ahead and start passing legislation and send it to this new “Office”.
lol
I love those Hokies, too - dad, two brothers, now two nieces!
It ain't happenin' The press was pro-Clinton, but for the most part circumspect about it. You really had to work to build up a dossier on a covert Democrat "reporter".
The press had to go on suicide runs to get Palin. Most of them are now "out", and are effectively a Government Press.
I keep seeing LA Mayor Villgrosa near his side. Hopefully he doesn’t give him the Head of Homeland Security spot??
He’s acting like Fidel already. Get used to seeing his ugly face all over the TV (with no alternative choices) for 5-hour tirades.
