Is Obama president yet?

I was reflecting the other day about what a fast transition really is. In mid 90's, when the power transferred from Tory's to Labour party in he UK, (the night Labour had a landslide victory), John Major had to have his bags packed by mid day the next day, and Tony Blair moved in soon after noon the next day, and assumed the full responsibility for governing. It was quite a site to see as all John Major wanted to do was go and watch a cricket match at Lords, the famous stadium in London.

I know we have this "2 1/2 month -transistion". I really believe that time has come to revisit the constitution and get the power transfer quickly and smoothly as we witness the disintegration happening right before our eyes. We are a better society than this.
