I don't know about you, but I realize that Obama is not the Messiah. I know he's got a heap of a mess to fix and it won't happen over night. I'm not impatient for change.
I'm content to know that there is a grownup in office who cares. I'm content to know that we have a president who speaks the English language so that people will understand. I'm content to know that Obama will do his best. I'm content to know that we've effectively fired Bush.
Some really nice photos.
