Is Obama president yet?

And who's that other guy in the White House? As George Bush continues his vanishing act, Barack Obama steps into the spotlight, two months early, to calm a jittery nation.

    Is that what he's doing?

    Calming a jittery nation? Looks like he is already failing on the job.

    The U.S. government has been shredding the constitution for the last 50 years (democrat and republican alike), and some still think it is in-force. I almost feel sorry for the arrogant jerk that thinks he can fix this mess. We are headed for the french solution. The Iclanders got it right. It's time to bust some windows.
