0 Presidents

This presidential transition continues to go down in history as one of most unprecedented, if not interesting, elections.

Previously, one could have argued that Obama is taking over too soon. He has not even been voted in by the Electoral College yet, but he makes more speeches than W and his Office of the President Elect is a new fabrication. But yet, he is already taking criticism for not doing enough. For instance Barney Frank stated, "At a time of great crisis with mortgage foreclosures and autos, he says we only have one president at a time. I'm afraid that overstates the number of presidents we have. He's got to remedy that situation." Of course, that says more about the current administration than it does Obama. We've already made it 7.9 years without decent leadership, at least there is light at the end of the tunnel.

I also find it intersting that critics are stating that they will tolerate Obama as long as he governs from the center. What? These same people never proposed that Bush should govern from the center! His administration was far to the right all the way down the list. These intellectually challenged pundits need to realize a liberal was elected president, which means people want the government to move more to the left. Having said that, I don't really have any illusions that Obama will be a great "left/liberal" president. His cabinet is already looking a bit right-sided.
