We crown thee
Probably a slip of the tongue or an unconscious choice of words, but one of Barack Obama’s top transition officials made the Democrat’s ascension to the Oval Office sound a little more regal than most Americans probably are comfortable with. Talking to NBC’s Tom Brokaw on Sunday’s “Meet the Press,” transition team co-chair Valerie Jarrett dismissed the suggestion a shadow government is being set up for the period between now and Jan. 20, when Obama will be inaugurated. Jarrett, a long-time friend of the Obamas from Chicago, said President Bush remains in charge, but that Obama will be prepared to “take power and begin to rule Day 1″ — conjuring up images of a crown and royal scepter. You know the die-hards already are fast at work on an ad campaign against King Barack.
