    @ welcomerain

    Speaking of a lack of reading comprehension, evidently this part:

    George W. Bush is still president

    ... somehow escaped your laser-like attention to detail and/or your dazzling intellect.

    Not to mention this quote of Obama:

    "There is only one president at a time."

    And this one of Mark Mellman:

    "It's not as if people don't know Bush is still president; this is not a mystery to anybody."

    Of course, some people do seem a little confused about how this transition thing works:

    "Now we have a new president, and he can fill that void."

    Perhaps unsurprisingly, though, that was Vin Weber ... a Republican. (But I'll be generous and assume he was speaking in a figurative sense.)
