40

Since i was a 7th grader, Calvary Christian School, Indianappolis IN, i have had a fascination with the number 40.  Not as a age, but as a number that marks maturity, most often supernaturally.  I had my list never of things I wanted to accomplish by 40, but of how i wanted my 40 and beyond to look like.  But that is all too personal and intimate for this post.

Transition To Power

Change was the theme of Barak Obama.  He rode into the hopes and dreams of the majority of Americans by talking about how he would change things.   In November Obama was elected President.  In between his election night victory and his inauguration is a transition period. Hence, he is the President-Elect.  Much has been made of this dynamic this time around due to the multiple crises (Bank, Auto, War) the US is in.  He can’t initiate changes until he is authorized and inaugurated as the President.  He lives in this “Already But Not yet” phase.  He is already elected but not yet inaugurated.  He is in transit from victorious campaign to executive power.
