I was wondering about this myself. I can't recall Reagan, Bush I, Clinton or Bush II making such a fuss about appointments and voicing his opinion on matters before being sworn in. His opinionating especially makes me uncomfortable. There should only be one cook in the kitchen until January 20.

Grand Poobah of the world or some such shit. LOL. Wasn't that the position for which he was campaigning during his European tour? :-)

No. Not only no, but F no. At what point does someone in the press ask him at his seal for the president elect if he just thinks this is a big game or just WTF kind of gambit are you running here? It's getting to be rather nauseating IMO. The styrofoam Greek columns at the convention should have been a tip off. He sure is into the trappings of the office, isn't he? [and he's not even in office yet!]

I'm laughing as we all are, but actually, he is becoming a caricature of himself...and if he doesn't stop it, will become a laughing stock... What advisor/s are telling him this is OK....??? OR, is he really so naive that he actually thinks this will be received well.... Even Clinton (who never disliked a picture of himself) didn't do this....
