While I didn't vote for Barack Obama, as an American, he is now my president. Why on earth would I want to see his policies fail? But I did find the following article (I'll link & give y'all a snippet) very interesting:
Charles Krauthammer is a syndicated columnist for The Washington Post (letters@charles krauthammer.com).
Charles Krauthammer: Even Obama seems to understand how much Bush got right
"WASHINGTON -- Except for Richard Nixon, no president since Harry Truman leaves office more unloved than George W. Bush. Truman's rehabilitation took decades. Mr. Bush's will come sooner. Indeed, it has already begun. The chief revisionist? Barack Obama.
Vindication is being expressed not in words but in deeds -- the tacit endorsement conveyed by the Obama continuity-we-can-believe-in transition.
It's not just the retention of such key figures as Secretary of Defense Bob Gates or Treasury Secretary nominee Timothy Geithner, who, as president of the New York Fed, has been instrumental in guiding the Bush financial rescue over the last year. It's the continuity of policy...."
It's very easy to say, "I'm going to change this, and do that," when you don't have all the facts. Now President Obama
does have the facts, so I wouldn't plan on any major changes overnight. But I do wish him the very best, as it would be in the interest of ALL Americans for him to do well.
I liked your photos, too!
