Personally I'm not a fan of spectacles like today's events, but I
certainly wish that President Obama's reign retains the current glow
as long as possible and that he lives up to even 2% of what people
expect right now. That would make him the most successful president
ever.
But for myself I'm mainly hoping that he makes all of us forget what
the US was like with Bush & Cheney in charge, and restores faith in
the leadership of the country. Of the people I never had any doubt
(except for voting for Bush the _second_ time).
