Meanwhile, as Rome burns, the Emperor is at the Army-Navy football game... [View All]

As our economy collapses around us, and as employers cut their workers by a half-million per month, our Commander in Chief is at the annual Army-Navy football game. I'm sure as soon as this game is over, he will call all his economic advisers together, along with the leaders of both Parties, and work out a strategy until the new President can take over on January 20th of next year.

Even the members of his own Party are calling for Barack Obama to be more "assertive" and presidential. Nevermind that he doesn't even have his Cabinet chosen yet, we need a leader right now. We can't wait until January 20th. Never mind the legality or the constitutionality of the President-elect taking over for present President. Nevermind that the House and Senate Leadership can call the Congress back anytime for emergency business. They would rather defer all decisions to the new President. God forbid that they might have to make a decision that might come up in their next election.

So, what should Barack Obama do? Should he just assume the Presidency? And start making decisions right now? And let George W Bush continue on his legacy tour?
