I haven't posted anything in a while mostly because I haven't had the time but also because the truth had become self evident. It was clear leading up to the election that Barack Obama was meant to the next president. The pictures of election night and the inauguration said more than any blog posting could have said.
It's been interesting these past two weeks watching the administration try to maintain its campaign promises and mark itself as different than the Bush administration. I've been a bit concerned about the administration's and the first family's vulnerabilities during this period. It is my hope that the staff around them will do a good enough job.
Difficult days are ahead. The honeymoon is soon going to be over. The Republicans are going to discover that they are able to thrive as an opposition party and will find their voice. The president will need to be decisive and recognize the limits of bipartisanship. He's also going to have to reign in the Democratic congress when they revert to their bad habits. I continue to wish our president the best.
