Here's a picture, courtesy of AP, you don't see in very many countries around the world: The peaceful and systematic transition of power of our great nation's leadership.
No matter what the next four years may bring, today we celebrate the historic inauguration of our nation's 44th president.
I watched the inauguration during breakfast and currently have all the TVs on in the house. Despite my own political leanings, I thought President Obama's speech was even-keeled and laced with enough rhetoric to satisfy folks on both sides of the political aisle.
(Note: If you read through the contents of this blog and check out the links, you'll probably have a good idea about who I voted for).
So will President Obama deliver on his campaign & inaugural promises? We'll see.
Starting tomorrow we'll have 3 years and 364 days to criticize the Obama Administration and his proposed policies.
But not today. Today's a day to celebrate what makes America--"warts and all"--the greatest nation in the history of the world.
Best wishes to President Obama, Former-President Bush and their families.
May God Bless America!
