Inauguration Day

I'm watching President Obama giving his inaugural address. Well, nobody ever said that he doesn't give a good speech. It will be interesting to see what deeds may follow. I'll say the same thing to President Obama that I said to President Bush on Inauguration Day eight years ago: "I didn't vote for you, but I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. Let's see what you can do."

God bless America.

Update 12:30 p.m.: They could have skipped the poet at the end. I don't like stream-of-consciousness masquerading as poetry. Poetry is supposed to have rhyme and meter. It's like abstract art where somebody sloshes paint on a canvas. Anyone can do that. Well, I'll say it: The emperor has no clothes, and the poet has no poetry.
