Today is the American election day. Either Barack Obama or John McCain will be the new American President, yet they won’t take office for another two months.
Why do they do this? We do it immediately. Out with the old, in with the new. Why do they take so long? What possible need is there for a two-month transfer period?
I agree with Gordo Brown that whoever is elected US President tomorrow needs to step up immediately. Two months with a dead duck President in the middle of a financial crisis is not a good thing.
