I have a question. It's something that kind of have no relevance on everyday life yet is important enough to make everyday people wonder just what in the heck is going on. What in the world is the "Office of the President Elect"?

Has anyone out there besides me noticed the sign on the front of President Elect Barak Obama's (PEBO) podium he makes speeches from? Aside from the fact that he gets more face time than the sitting President - despite what you think of President Bush - and the fact that PEBO still hasn't said anything of substance that I've heard, we now have to deal with the fact that our next President of the United States has made up an office for himself, an office that never existed before 2008. Just what kind of idiots does he think the American people are? Oh, wait, that's right. Enough of us are more concerned with spit and shoe polish concerning issues like what names we should use for terrorists, what the government is doing to fix the economy, that we need health care given to me by the feds and that PEBO is the greatest thing since Al Gore's creation of the internet. Somehow PEBO is going to solve all our problems starting with, and pulling off, the creation of the most ridiculous public relations spoof to ever be spoon fed the American people. Somehow PEBO standing behind that podium telling us that we need to think of something to do is supposed to comfort and fill us with the confidence that he does in fact know what he's talking about.

"Excuse me, Mr. Obama, what specifically are you planning to do?"
"Well, uh, what, uh, we need to do...is come up, uh, with a comprehensive plan which takes, uh, everyone's best interests to heart."
"Thanks for shedding light on that. I appreciate it."

Gosh, I could be one of his writers.

"Office of the President Elect." Just what have we elected? A showman? The national leader version of "The Music Man"? I cannot believe there is not more furor over the audacity of PEBO concerning the tricks through speeches and good public relations he's successfully pulling on the American people. I just hope the American people remember there is such a thing as black magic.
