Finally, it's here on our doorstep! The day that many have been waiting for! No, not the new phone books (thanks to Steve Martin as "The Jerk"), it's the day that officially ends what is arguably the worst presidency since WWII and maybe ever (even when compared to the one month term of William Henry Harrison who caught the flu during his inaugural speech - we should have been so lucky). And tomorrow we look to the future and what is possible. Only time will tell, not some crazy apocalyptic prediction, as to the success of our next president.

With Israel pulling troops out of Gaza, I'm reminded of the Iranian hostage crisis and how the Iranians thumbed their noses at Jimmy Carter only to free the hostages on Reagan's watch. Is this because Israel knows that they need to start fresh with a new US administration or just that they've done all the damage that they planned to do in the first place? We'll probably never know, but at least it's a step in the right direction.

Congratulations to the millions that have made the pilgrimage to Washington DC for the inaugural. Believe that there are many millions that will be there in spirit willing this new president to create a better life for all, a better union for this country and a better standing in the world.
