You seem to think I made some careless cheeseball comment, but that is not the case.

Obama is indeed governing. Do you think that the process of appointing the various cabinet members are not among the most important decisions the President makes as a governor? The office of the President-elect is governing in some limited capacity. It may seem unprecedented what's happening right now, but there is no question in my mind that Obama is attempting to fill a leadership vacuum while allowing, to the extent possible, the Bush administration (which Peggy Noonan describes as a "collapsed incumbency") to save some face. Equally true is that the Bush administration, by all accounts is cooperating with Obama's transition team (apart from ramming through regulations which every president does anyway). I don't know why you thought this was worth a rebuttal, but that's my view of things.
