I agree - he needs to put a transitional Treasury Secretary in place to calm things down and send the right signal. You would think a "community organizer" would understand the need. Once again, we only have one president at a time. What you are advocating is a variance of the parliamentary system, sort of, in which the opposition party has some standing, and in which there are "shadow" officials of the opposition party, ready to move in and take over on practically a moment's notice. At the moment, Barack Obama has absolutely no standing constitutionally. Hell, he even resigned his seat in the U.S. Senate. How can he "put a transitional Treasury Secretary in place"? If he attempted that, under our system, it would be usurpation of power and, in fact, pretty much a coup. I don't think Tom suggested a working Treasury Secretary. Of course he can't do that yet. I think he meant announcing his choice for one, which might help generate some optimism for the economic climate that exists. Instead, Hillary is doing her routine again, holding up much needed announcements while she negotiates her level of power in the pecking order of his proposed cabinet. It's just like the negotiations that took place before she would agree to concede victory to Obama in the primaries and drop her threats of "taking it to the convention". You can bet that *that* is exactly what is going on. Hillary first. Country second. Traditionally, the incoming POTUS keeps his mouth shut about current issues until he takes office. The current economic situation is not typical or traditional. GM may be gonzo by Jan 20th. Obama needs to chime in and present his plan to be executed as soon as he takes the reigns. Instead, he has quickly and conveniently resigned from the Senate sooner than traditionally, so he won't have to go on record with his vote for the possible bailout. Creeps, every single one of them. Eisboch p.s. Harry, sorry about sending this email. Hit the wrong "reply" button. |
