I can understand and appreciate the individual who either holds the titular title of "Leader of the Free World" must have a strong sense of self-worth, and a thick hide. I don't know of a single President (and I have met with most
on the other side of the vail) regardless of their personalities, that didn't. But not even FDR, for all that man's callus disregard for the Constitution, and his ego driven socialistic demagogary, would have had the hubris to come up
with an "Official Office of the President Elect".
Yes, I am well aware there is "The Presidential Transition Act of 1963", and it does spell out what the federal government allows for regarding the smooth transition of power between the current holder of the office, and those who will be assuming same. In this day and age this is a smart and prudent thing to do. One would have hoped it would have been kept relatively low keyed, and done with a modicum of decorum/respect for the current holder of the office.
That this man has no class is becoming more self-evident with each passing day. This empty suit of nebulous ideas has already besmirched the wife of a late President. That President-Elect Obama, takes liberties with the Presidential Seal, which might be excused if done by a satirist, or perhaps someone putting on a production in ones barn somewhere, only goes to show his showboating mentality, and is tacky at best.
If I were still a thing of this earth, of flesh and blood, I would require a large glass; occupied with a good single malt scotch, brought to me forthwith. My blood pressure, state of mind, and my nerves would be in dyer need of calming.
I remain, spinning quite rapidly still,
The Col.

I shall pop open a fresh bottle of altar wine and as I pour myself a big one, I shall pour a second one for you.
Now, at the risk of sounding racist (which I am not)I shall make the following observation:
This so-called 'change we can believe in' is beginning to look an awful lot like the Clinton Administration part Dux, except in black face. I just wonder who will play the part of Monica Lewinsky.
And, my dear Col. since you have been around for a while and even decided to come back for a second go-around, can you explain why the taxpayers have to help support Obama's mother-in-law by allowing her to move into the White House too? What is the reason for that? Then, how many more members of the Obama extended family will eventually move into the White House before this show is over?
The Reverend Father Gregori asks an interesting question. And history provides an answer. There have been other kin to the President (or his spouse) who have occupied the Presidential residence. I believe President Monroe's daughters lived there after marrying (with their spouses of course). I seem to recall, either President Truman's mother or perhaps, mother in law also resided there while Truman was in office. (but will have to verify this). In any case, this would be the least (or should be) of our worries, concerning this upstart and his potential for bringing this great republic to it's knees. If by some reason having his mother in law in the same residence, causes Obama to keep his hands out of my (and your) pocket, then I, for one, am all for it.
If Hillary's mother had been living in the White House ten years ago, Bill might have been better behaved.
