>>How exactly does this affect Obama? I mean legally.<<
So far it doesn’t. We may want to give it time though. Bush is not a TOTAL lame duck, and is proving it in other areas. Both current events as well as their timing is very interesting. There are many possibilities supported by both coincidence as well as more “intentional” causes.
It is looking that either 0 will either never be president or be so damaged when he becomes president that all sorts of things may go down differently than anticipated.
As interesting as the last two years has been, this next couple of months could be truly fascinating.
If Bush was an evil man, he'd issue a comprehensive pardon for Obama, in the same way Ford did for Nixon.... ;-)
