    yin and yang

    There is a yin and yang to everything. Obama has been making good decisions based on the current crisis. We should applaud him for that. Bush has become the former POTUS. We will regret that.

    We do have a Constitution that must be kept intact. We have one POTUS at a time. Popularity within the press should not negate that fact.

    The American public is not stupid , it is aware of the problems we are facing, but if we loss the the concept that "we are a nation of laws", we can open the door to much more ominous things than allowing Bush to finish out his term.

    The mere fact that the transition teams are working closely together to avoid a gap in leadership is heartening and must be respected.
