Questions

there are certain questions i have.... for one- when did our second war start? I know we've bombed afghanistan and shit like that, but it seemed like there was a random "let's begin mentioning our second war" in the media lately and all i ever hear is about our two wars were fighting- so when did we declare our second war?
Second- love love love obama, but i've never heard of a "transition team" before. is it just because the poor man has so much damn work to do that he needs not only a transition team, but months of work that sound like not enough of time to get this man into the office? maybe because the last time someone 'transitioned' into the white house i was just starting off in college but i swear- is this transition team a much more press heavy newish thing?
crazy and i swear it's not just me
