January 20...

President Obama has already made a great degree of success...he has made people forget  about Bush, the worst Presidency in memory...and that covers quite a long time.  It is like filling in the Grand Canyon, making people believe in the positive power of the US Presidency, yet somehow it has been done.  And speaking of the Grand Canyon, the depths of the problems inherited by President Obama...is a depth that seems to grow as more and more truth is revealed.  And yet, he seems up to the challenge and the need to innovate, solve crises and handle the routines too.  Like walking and chewing gum at the same time while spouting beautiful poetry...following a non leader with a bright new star for many to simply find and be guided.   January 20 will come and go ...so will the hangovers and sore throats from laughter and applause... but the beginnings will grow into days of achievement for a nation so accustomed to getting things done...but recently so accepting of a syndrome of failure.
Now suddenly we can have jobs, and peace. Prosperity and new businesses that stay in the US; friends overseas among our sister nations, respect without threats and fear.  January 20 will roll with the calendar but some things will stay in our thoughts and perhaps in our hearts.
