Sorry, BB, a "looming international crisis"? That sounds an awful lot like a direct quote from "The Headline Writer's Book of Purple Prose".

And I'm afraid you won't be able to convict Obama of dereliction of duty unless Bush turns all his power over to Obama tomorrow.

I'm sure we all agree it would be far better for the country if he did so.

But unfortunately it looks like we're stuck with GWB til January. Perhaps you can convince GWB to go back to Crawford tomorrow for good. Let us know how it goes.
