The World Leader Pretend

It's gotten to the point where so many pundits are so sick of Bush that they are calling for a change in the date for the presidential inauguration.
At this point, many figure, Obama has appointed so many Washington insiders (a smart move away from radicals at the community level), that what's the point of waiting another two months for the coronation ceremony?
The lag between election and actual power is one which those groovy founders must of held upon, because at that time there were constant changes in European governments. The lag enabled everyone to cool off.
In the end, it's a smart move, ensuring that nutballs don't immediately take power in a fluke election.
As for Bush and his legacy ... he's ressurected the policy of preemtive military strikes, which is not bad so long as he (and we) know exactly what is being struck.
But let's allow Bush the last hurrah, as well as members of the totally confused and panicky Republican party.
