Media Declares Obama The Winner

[NOBama]

When I logged onto Drudge this morning, I had a Rip Van Winkle moment. According to the headlines, Obama has somehow become president. Nope, its still October 20. The election hasn’t been held yet. But you wouldn’t know that by scanning the headlines of one of the major news outlets in America.

According to headlines on Drudge, Obama is in the process of planning his transition. His team is in place and already planning the nuts and bolts of installing ‘The One’ in the White House. “Under the direction of John Podesta, a former White House chief of staff under Bill Clinton, the transition effort includes a dozen separate groups divided into different areas of responsibility.” Bye-bye Bush. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

As Obama’s transition team meets, others in the Obama camp are busy lining up an all-star Obama Cabinet. ’Barack Obama Lines Up A Cabinet Of Stars As John McCain Struggles On‘, the Times reports. “It’s important to send a signal,” an Obama adviser said. “With a comparatively new person in office and the awful mess we’re in, these appointments are going to resonate around the world.” Note the operative words: ‘in office’.

Heady decisions, those. Deciding who to reward, who to slight, and determining which ‘experts’ to install as the anointed one’s top dogs. After all, he’s going to need alot of help running the world.
