President-elect Barack Obama will be sworn in as President in 7 days. It seems to me that Barack Obama may have already been sworn in at some private ceremony. Mr. Obama has been functioning as President for the last 30 days at least and frankly since the November election. Soon to be President Obama will have his "plate" full when he assumes office next week. Iraq, Iran, Israel, Afghanistan, the Economy and so on and so on. Where does it end. It will be Barack Obama's main function to be a "cheerleader" and "Team Builder" for the majority of his first term. The caution that exists is that the Democrats will have internal squabbles that will detract from the job at hand; rebuilding our society after the debacle of George W. Bush.
