Washington - With a series of forceful actions in recent days, amid an almost unprecedented set of challenges, Barack Obama has taken an unusual step for a president-elect: attempting to alter the country's perilous course even before he takes office.
The most dramatic example came Saturday, when Obama announced a far more aggressive economic stimulus plan than previously promised - a two-year program to add 2.5 million jobs he said represented "an early down payment on the type of reform my administration will bring to Washington."
That announcement was the latest indication that the president-elect has decided to use the transition period to influence events at a time of crisis, when the current administration appears powerless to stem the slide.
"There's no question that Bush is still president, but people are looking for signs to see what's going to happen going forward," said an Obama aide who, like others, requested anonymity when discussing deliberations inside the transition. "We're going to attempt to do that in this period."

In the video below, George Bush attends the G20 summit in Peru on November 15. Nobody shakes his hand, and he offers his hand to no one. It’s unbelievably weird. Bob Dobbs told me almost a year ago that George Bush was under “house arrest”. Now he’s reminding me of that again and I think he’s right.
Is this song about Barach Obama?
