Indeed, others have caught on to the this ludicrous presentation of The Office of The President-Elect. An ostentacious sign attached to the lectern where Barack Obama was speaking. For himself. He is not president yet. But he soooo desperately needs the adulation and all the fixings, he is ready to as noted previously, “assume the position” now. Heck, the guy would elbow out and trample over every human present if all he had to do to get into the Oval Office right now, were to run there as fast as he could. He kind of did that already to Hillary Clinton and John McCain. So let’s see what others have noted about this newly minted Office of the President-Elect. The seal, the seal. A new seal! (IMAGES)
Deadenders hit the nail on the head with this image of Obama giving his first meeting with the press under his new office title. Official, that is, in his brain. This “office” has no official governmental position or authority. But the hot air that fuels the creation of the office and the seal, was very well present on that day. Including the middle finger salute to all of his adoring critics and fans. While the suntan challenged folks in the back smile in approval. Yes indeed.

And next we take a look at Ambiguous Is His Middle Name and It’s Amateur Hour at the Office of the President-elect. Ace of Spades brings us some more details about that make that sign on the lectern generate a new meaning.
One hand doesn’t know what the other is doing so we end up with many conflicting statements. Mr. President-elect has to keep “clarifying” the positions his subordinates keep releasing on his behalf. It’s almost like he has no leadership experience whatsoever.

Hillbuzz noted the lecturn sign also. That creepy faux presidential seal is back…and Obama apologizes for taking a shot at Nancy Reagan.
Even Newsmax caught on. Obama Invents ‘Office of the President-Elect’.
Barack Obama has created a stir by proclaiming that he heads “The Office of President-Elect” — an office that does not officially exist.
At his first news conference on Nov. 7, Obama stood at a podium bearing a sign that read: “Office of the President-Elect. Also, his Web site, Change.gov, bears the words “Office of the President-Elect” at the top of its home page.
Writer Larry Anderson referred to the “made-up little title” on the American Thinker Web site, and declared: “I nearly busted a gut …
“Once again, [Obama] can’t wait to invest himself with the trappings of office.”
Conservative columnist Michelle Malkin wondered: “What other make-believe offices are they going to invent between now and Inauguration Day? I can’t ever recall in my lifetime any mention of such an office.”
Yes. Michelle Malkin and her readers addressed it in, What the hell is the “Office of the President-Elect?” And why is it still attacking McCain?
“The Office of the President-elect comes from the Presidential Transition Act of 1963. Stephanopoulos signed letters back in 1992 from the ‘Office of the President-elect.’
Reader Stephen from Hold the Mayo e-mails: “I happened to be in a waiting room yesterday and West Wing reruns were on. The character played by Jimmy Smits had apparently just been elected president over Alan Alda’s character. Every time the phone rang in Smits’ office it was answered ‘Office of the Preseident Elect.’ I’m guessing his is where The One is getting his ideas on how the government is organized.”
Barack Obama. A legend in his own mind.
