INAUG DAY

Today's the day I've dreaded since November 4. Somehow I don't feel quite as comfortable. Change I can believe in? How about change I don't want to accept? That's more like it.

But before he goes, I want to thank President George W. Bush. For keeping me safe. For fighting them over there instead of over here. For Gitmo. I don't want them on American soil. For his reliance on God. For restoring respectability to the White House. For continuing to make me proud to be an American. For his courage. For not backing down from a brutally unfair media with a socialist agenda. For the tax cuts. For most of his 8 years, an economy which soared. And for helping America to stand tall.

I'm sure before Mr.Obama takes the oath today, he won't have to find a White House in disarray as the Clintons left it. Remember how all the W's on all the keyboards somehow were missing when the last change of occupancy occurred? I'm certain that all the O's will be there for the new chief.

I not only wish Mr. Obama the best, I'm also praying for him. I fervently hope he is re-elected. That will mean he's done a good job, he's moved center in his ideology, our country has been safe, and we've prospered. But most importantly, it means he has gone to God for guidance prior to making even the smallest of decisions his job demands. May God bless you, Barak Obama and the USA.
