Yes, I was a pretty surprised by it as well. I knew he was presumptuous but I didn’t realize how presumptuous, who would have thought he was going to use the honorary title of president-elect and turn it into an “Office of the President-elect.” And then issue a weekly address as if he were president, complaining about the economy, issuing orders to Congress and sounding like he’s still making stump speeches (promises to spend, spend, spend us into further debt) all before he takes the oath of office. Someone might want to remind Obama that there’s only one president at a time (words that he’s mouthed but evidently not taken to heart). We don’t need a shadow government.BTW, I think that’s the last one I’ll listen to, that was the longest three minutes of my life!(via)
