November 26, 200817 yr Author No, the uproar over this is funny. I honestly - honestly - do not see what the big deal is. He is the president-elect. He is being very active in preparing to be our president. There may not have existed any such office before Obama, but there is one now. People just need to accept it and go on to more important matters.Honestly, you guys are the ones in an uproar, the rest of us are having a ball with it. I simply find it it hilarious at how egotistical Obama is, and lets face facts here, if it were Bush eight years ago doing this, it would be front page news and on every news show on TV. I have no problem with him being active in preparation and NO, there IS NOT now an Office of The President-Elect, regardless of what Obama may think. And officially, he's still not the President-Elect yet.
November 26, 200817 yr Well, RTS, to be in an uproar, mcpapa, myself and some of the rest of us would have to be, well...in an uproar. As it is, we aren't the ones starting threads about it and calling people names such as elitist and egotistical.

I know, you're the ones getting in an uproar about us having fun at the expense of "His Highness". The thread is legitimate since THERE IS NO SUCH OFFICE.
November 26, 200817 yr I know, you're the ones getting in an uproar about us having fun at the expense of "His Highness". The thread is legitimate since THERE IS NO SUCH OFFICE. Remind me how this thread is legitimate. Even if you are convinced that Obama is an egotistical jerk, and nothing can change your mind, what is the point of convincing everyone else? It is like when my atheist friends try to convert me- I just don't understand their motivation.

It is like when my atheist friends try to convert me- I just don't understand their motivation. What's the thread about? How about that, and I'm going to put it in all caps again but this time in bold so as to be crystal clear, THERE IS NO SUCH OFFICE AS THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT-ELECT. That's how this thread is legitimate.
November 26, 200817 yr I know, you're the ones getting in an uproar about us having fun at the expense of "His Highness". The thread is legitimate since THERE IS NO SUCH OFFICE. But your not doing it to have fun. The number of bolded and capitalized words show your emphasis on what you partake to be incredulance. As to there being no such office, there is once one is created. Example - there was no such office as Homeland Security until President Bush created one. As to the legitimacy of your thread, that is a judgment call.

Fortunately, a more modest Chief Justice repealed the gold stripes. Hopefully, our next President-Elect of the United States of America will likewise, bring a little more humility to the office.
November 26, 200817 yr Author But your not doing it to have fun. The number of bolded and capitalized words show your emphasis on what you partake to be incredulance.I think I know why I'm doing it, your opinion will not change that. As to there being no such office, there is once one is created. Example - there was no such office as Homeland Security until President Bush created one.I hate to break this to you, but the President-Elect doesn't have that power, and he isn't even that officially yet. As to the legitimacy of your thread, that is a judgment call.No, it's not a judgment call at all. There is no such office, therefore the thread is legitimate and 100% factual.
November 26, 200817 yr The purpose of this thread seems to be to bash Obama ...I think that the point of the thread was to ridicule his excesses and have a good laugh at his expense. Mission accomplished. :lol:
November 26, 200817 yr Author The purpose of this thread seems to be to bash Obama ...Get used to it, when he screws up, I'm going to be on him like white on rice. After all, he's fair game as was Bush.

November 26, 200817 yr The purpose of this thread seems to be to bash Obama ...So one must not question the supreme leader? Better tell that to half the people that posted in here over the last eight years. :lol:
November 26, 200817 yr I'm going to be on him like white on rice.That might not have been the "best" expression for it.
