With an incredibly unpopular lame duck President sitting awkwardly in the White House, and his young energetic successor all lined up to go, there is an interesting feeling surrounding the executive branch at the moment. Obama as the President-Elect has no official power, and yet in actuality he commands greater power over the nation than Bush. Still, the current President has to be careful to maintain some semblance of control. He is still the one who attends all of the meetings and foreign policy discussions--- without the President-Elect. And yet at the same time the two men have to be sure to meet in order to discuss the nation that they both care so much about. They must find a way to transition power smoothly and with as little transition period as possible. It's a steep task in a nation so impatient for change.
