Like Clinton in 2001, Bush spends his days pardoning criminals, which is a major activity of lame duck Presidents.
Obama is assembling his advisors, most of whom are retreads from the Clinton years. He is even retaining Bush's Secretary of Defense, where change supposedly was coming and is long overdue. Gates was the head of the CIA. Bush's father was the head of the CIA.
The more things change, the more things stay the same.
The only thing that changes much is the national debt. The rate of increase is accelerating. This is Bush's legacy. Obama will honor it.
Bush can't do anything - he's a lame duck president. Obama can't do anything - he's not president yet. The 2 1/2 months transition from election to inauguration is an interlude which grants the people an all too brief shelter from tyranny.
