You could be forgiven for thinking that Chicago is the new Washington, that the president-elect is already running the country from there and that the West Wing has just become the Mid-West wing.
Barack Obama is gearing up for action from day one of his presidency
Even though he assured us again on Tuesday - if assured is the right word? - that he will only take over the reins of power after Inauguration Day on 20 January, Barack Obama talks, decides and reasons as if those reins are already firmly in his hands.
He refers to his weekly radio address like a real president does.
Everything from his body language to his use of the present tense indicates that he already thinks of himself as the commander-in-chief, preparing everything for day one of America's 44th presidency.
The drastic times demand it, he tells us. But then so does his pragmatic and poignant nature, one might add. Compare his behaviour to the unbearable lightness of George W Bush.
Intellect
Mr Obama is not just announcing his cabinet much earlier than most other presidents-elect in transition. He is also telling us in greater detail what his policies will be.

Big hat, no cattle.
Leo Donofrio, Cort, Keyes, a few others and SCOTUS might just be a little bump in the road that no one expected.
Where is the Barf Alert?
Yes, but where’s his birth certificate? Maybe he could take a little time out from his preening and cough it up.
Otherwise he will never be accepted as president by anyone who has followed this story. And the story will continue to spread, despite his best efforts to shut it up.
A statement from The Office Of The President Elect. Quickly!
This actually is Bush’s fault. Why the heck is he letting this person - who hasn’t even been voted in by the EC - take over the government? This is a nightmare.
I know Barry and his handlers are doing this so that the SC won’t dare ask for the birth certificate or, even if they do, rule him ineligible. There’s a coup going on, folks. Has anybody noticed?

It is so inappropriate and disrespectful of our country for Obama to *pretend* he is the President. Wait until Jan 20th - you self-important jerk!
“Barack Obama is gearing up for action from day one of his presidency”
My, those Brits sure can come up with some profound comments; who would ever think that a President Elect would prepare in advance to govern on his first day in office?
;-)
The glorious day is coming, people, and it will be glorious!
The great Obama will descend from the heavens on a glorious white cloud, with glorious pen in hand.
Then, after his glorious cloud touches the glorious stage built for the glorious one to stand on this glorious day,
Obama, wearing glorious flowing white robes, will sign all the glorious laws to be immediately implemented, and America will be instantly saved.
Then Oprah, the other glorious one, will signal her staff to start the glorious festivities honoring the arrival of the Messiah, Obama the magic 1/4 negro.
So prepare yourselves America, there will be 24 solid hours of celebrations, with glory to “the one” sung by every black entertainer alive.
Will America have a hang over? Yes indeed, for at least the next century as the “Joe the plumbers” out there begin to pay for the massive debt the glorious Obama saddled the next several generations with, while being told to do without all the harmful and evil consumer goods their ancestors once worshiped.
Lots of cowpies on plastic kiddie boots.
