Why Can't Obama Seal the Deal?

[nyccitizen]

It's been over a week since the election but the electors still haven't certified his victory. Obama supporters must ask themselves: with a war chest of over 600 million, an army of GOTV volunteers, TV ads that ran 4-to-1 against his opponents in some states, and an overwhelming victory in the popular vote and the electoral college, why isn't Barack Obama the president yet? Why can't he seal the deal?

On edit:

Sorry, didn't think was necessary, but... /sarcasm.

1. He can't be prez until January 20th.

Duh.

[Mz Pip]

2. Why hasn't he ended the war

or solved the housing crisis? Why is Bush still in office? Why do we have to wait until 1/20/09?

I want my pony now!

5. is this sarcasm?

?

[nyccitizen]

11. Uh, yes...

Some fun at the expense of all the people who said he couldn't "Seal the Deal" even when he had mathematically sealed the nomination and then later when he had a commanding lead in the polls.

[nyccitizen]

6. Is it? Is it because of the requirements "mandated by the Constitution"? Or is it because...

he just can't seal the deal?

7. I think the deal is sealed. Obama is President. Why do you think otherwise?

[Ecumenist]

9. ER Um, NYCitizen, He can't do a bloody thing UNTIL he actually

gets into office, dear. Cain't do a rutabaga thing until 01.20.09!! BTW, thank you for your concern and welcome to DU, I think. :shrug:

[Darth_Ole]

13. NYC Citizen, sorry your fellow DUers (at least the ones posting here) have no sense of humor.

I get your joke-- it's a reference to the Clinton campaign wondering why Obama can't "seal the deal" with working whites, and later on why the media kept wondering why Obama wasn't higher in the polls during the summer.

Don't fret. I get it.

12. Nevermind. n/t

[shirker]

14. Clearly, he's unelectable.

15. ?

Huh?

[ecstatic]

16. LOL. I got the joke (it requires being a Gregory watcher I think)

He did so much concern trolling this election it's not even funny!

[liberalmuse]

17. You know...

watching all this breaks my heart. Everyone is turning to Obama for help, because the GOP have been deaf, dumb and blind for 8 years. I hope our new President knows what he's gotten himself into. I think he does, and is relishing it.

[Curtland1015]

19. For people who needed the "sarcasm" tag... what the hell?

Really now...

[abumbyanyothername]

22. I got me da pot here

where's my goddamn chicken?

[JuniperLea]

24. Rinse, lather, repeat... and always, always sarcasm:)

I would have thanked you for your concern... now that I know it's a joke.... heh heh heh...
