Obama is not the President-elect

To paraphrase McCain, during one of his campaign speeches, “Obama is already measuring the drapes.”

Amen! I know Obama and his sidekick, Joe Biden, is anxious. However, under the American system, Obama will NOT be the “President-elect” until after the electoral college votes. Depending on the mood of the electors, he might not become “President-elect” then. Granted, I think the scenario whereby the electors fail to choose Obama, is highly unlikely at this point.

I just question the pompous declaration of a so-called constituional scholar that it’s okay to drape himself in the mantle of “President-elect” when in fact, it is not yet confirmed. Until the votes are confirmed, it’s more appropriate to use other terms like “possible-President-elect”, “probable-President-elect”, maybe even “de-facto-President-elect.”

Of course, none of this makes any difference since he’s already begun to order Congress to do his bidding. Nice touch. I have to wonder if the man aspires to be Dictator of a Socialist society, or the President of a Democratic Republic.
