When the President Becomes the President

It's still a little sketchy, but I am glad we now know that true time period that it takes for the president to take full responsibility for his administration and the country as a whole.

As we have seen from the latest Republican rhetoric if something happens, say a successful terrorist attack that kills thousands, 8 months into your term it's the other guy's fault. But if an unsuccessful attempt happens 11 months into your term it's totally your fault.

So somewhere between 8-11 months into his job the president becomes in charge. Like I said, it's still a little sketchy as to when the transfer of power actually occurs but we do know that sometime within a three month window the president goes from clueless to supreme being. I'm being told by some close Republican friends that somewhere around Nov. 10th the president wakes up from a nap and realizes he's the most powerful person in the world. Plus or minus a few days that is.

This is good to know so that we better understand the workings of our precious government.
