And what would you have Obama do? Can he sign a bill? Can his choice of Treasury Secretary allocate the $700 billion? By the way you are right he has not appointed one, but if he does it by December 1 it will be one of the quickest picks ever of a Treasury Secretary.

Perhaps you would have him start negotiations with foreign nations and their financial ministers? The forum they had last week did have representatives from Obama, but they held no official status.

So if Obama did start talking to congress and did start allocating funds, you then would not be yelling that he was overstepping his authority.

He has said that when he takes office he would do what it takes to get the economy going. He has sent representatives to the forums where the nations leaders come together to discuss the issues. He does this not because he wants to act like he already is President but so he is aware of what is being said and negotiated. He is choosing his Treasury Secretary once again if chosen by December 1 would be one of the quickest selections. He has endorsed loans to the Big 3. He has talked about grants to the states for repairing roads etc, both to repair the roads and to create jobs.

This is a person who realizes that he has no official authority at the moment. He also is trying to stay abreast of the situation. He is also working to put together a government that will take office in about 8 weeks.

He also realizes that Bush could shake off the lethargy and make agreements and allocations that he would then have to live with.

So tell us exactly what you think Obama should be doing know that he is not doing.

My apologies. I read your posting a bit closer. You said “Have Obamamessiah and his Obamabots forgotten that they won complete control over every single aspect of government, or are they clinically unable to do anything but bash Bush”.

I never took into consideration that you have no grasp of the Constitution. Obama has won the right to take control of the Executive Branch at noon on January 20. By your posting you evidently thought that Bush has left office for you do not realize he is still in control of the government.

Now that we understand that you do not understand the Constitution we all can take your answers with a new understanding of your postings.

Well, Tick, at least I can spell the First Amendment. But anytime you want to debate any ideas, just bring it on. Besides, I wasn’t the one talking like a jerkwater cretin — it was you.

You need to go back to a different thread and check your spelling. You are not Mr. Perfect, even though you believe you are.

tim jones,

If only Bush would resign and if only Obama could take over IMMEDIATELY. Shouts of joy would be heard throught this country. The world itself is anxiously awaiting the departure of your boy, G.W.Bush. I too feel your pain. We all want Obama to take over now. The sad news I must break to you however is that you like the rest of the world, must bide you time.

True… Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone needs an editor. But I particularly make sure I don’t make a mistake when I’m calling someone else on the carpet. Comprende?

Or, if I do make a mistake, I correct it myself. I don’t let others do the work. But that is a conservative, Republican trait: letting others do the work.

Republican elephant got your tongue, Tick?
