Israel: Where is Barack Obama?
It appears that the new president elect is doing what he seems to have perfected, dodging. Is this what we have to look forward to the next 4 years?

I checked the Oval Office, he's not there either!

I'm curious, what would you like him to do? Next, please explain how he has perfected dodging? What has he dodged in your mind.

You know I wish he could have been sworn in as soon as the vote was finished on November 4th and just for the sake of argument let's say after the Electoral College but there is a process to the this business of passing the responsibility from one administration to another. Only one president can occupy the Oval office at a time therefore we get one set of foreign policies at a time. We can't change the rules in the middle of the transition.

It appears that we have a newly named troll; alas, one who has not perfected anything but the use of html tags.
One Million Dollars, Zimbabwe, for the first TPMer to discern which of our tiresome old trolls is slapping lipstick on the pig, as it were.
Meet the new troll, same as the old troll...

Uh, hello? I think he is taking a little vacation between his life being turned upside down for 2 years running for President and the next, dare I say, eight years, of having THE MOST SCREWED UP, STRESSFUL job on the planet.
Dodging? I don't remember EVER having seen a PE as vocal and visible as this one has been between the election and inauguration.

Of course, this begs the question; Where is the CURRENT President? Shouldn't HE be the one you're looking for? Talk about dodging ... Jeesh.

Bush's White House already spoke in favor of attacks on Gaza by Israel.

There are real people dying and the same cast of characters are either saying "Yeah, go get 'em" or going out for a round of golf in Hawaii. I've never been called a troll before, but I wonder if I've struck a nerve. Silence in this case is not golden and speech does not require as heavy a calorie output as a round of golf.
