Speculation, analysis and plotting for Obama to stick it to Bush makes for a great headline and stimulating debate, but let's jump back to real time and have a reality check.
It is 68 days and counting and NO ONE is in charge. President Bush..and he is still the only President...has packed his bags, dreams of Crawford and fills his days in search of a publisher for his memoirs. Members of Congress are either basking in the afterglow of the election or plotting their 2010 comeback. Paulson is running amok with NO oversight or transparency, no overdue reports filed. Wall Street is spiraling downward at accelerating speed in fear of the next wave of bad news...no credit, no confidence, no consumer spending, no jobs, NO PRESIDENT. The press is obsessed with Palin's whirlwind media blitz.
Let's get our priorities straight...68 days is more than enough time to completely destroy this country.
