So, Leslie, he must have sweating like a pig because it was hot in there? He’s an idiot, without a teleprompter.

“Modern tradition” isn’t the Constitution, and it’s high time we remembered that.

Obama didn’t look scared to me. He looked rather graceful I thought. Silly remark about Nancy Reagan, though. I’m glad he apologized.

And Tom: the modern tradition is that the president-elect assumes that title after the votes are in, not after the EC convenes.

That’s the way it is.

Well, it didn't take Obama long to piss off Iran: Iran blasts Obama's nuclear criticism

TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) — Iran's parliament speaker has criticized U.S. President-elect Barack Obama for saying that Iran's development of a nuclear weapon is unacceptable. Ali Larijani said on Saturday Obama should apply his campaign message of change to U.S. dealings with Iran.

"What is expected is a change in strategy, not the repetition of objections to Iran's nuclear program which will be taking a step in the wrong direction."

Well, indeed Iran was paying VERY close attention to the election. Worry not, Iran, Obama will negotiate with you all the way until the missiles are leaving your silos.

“The Office of the President Elect”…What’s up with that? “Electors meet first Monday following the second Monday in December.” This year it’s the 15th, THEN if they vote the way they are expected to, Obama will become the President elect.
