ANOTHER PEACEFUL TRANSITION

No matter how bellicose the Obama detractors and haters get, he still was officially sworn in Sunday morning as our president for the next four years, and gets ceremonially sworn in this morning, Monday, at 11:30AM.

And no matter how bellicose and nasty and mean and extreme the differences between Obama supporters and those who can't stand the fact he's our democratically elected president can become, the peaceful transition that takes place every four years, whether for incumbents or for new presidents continues. Something we all should be, and hopefully are, grateful for and proud of, despite the disappointments and frustrations and periodic government (or at least Congressional) dysfunction.

Hopefully, we can stop his spending us into bankruptcy. The Republic hangs in the balance. Rome and Britain failed because of spending. We can still save the US.

As has been shown in graphs and various other statistical evidence Obama is one of the lowest spending presidents in recent history and is dwarfed by Bush/Cheney and Reagan, making this an obvious bs issue for rightwingers who just want to hate on Obama. Get over it or get off this blog.

I thought it was a good inaugural speech and enjoyed Richard Blanco's inaugural poem.

Me too Tom. And I loved Beyonce's rendition of the national anthem.
