The President of the United States

Quick web log post, since I haven't posted in a while, as I've been busy moving to Italy. Yesterday was an amazing day, both personally as well as for the country and the world. Barack Hussein Obama is the president of the United States of America. That still has not fully sunk in.

The mall has cleared out, the parade has ended and the balls are over. In a few moments the President will begin meeting with his economic and national security teams (Question: why isn't Secretary Clinton being included in the national security meeting on Iraq?). Now the real work begins. I'm waiting for the cabinet to be confirmed and to see what executive orders POTUS issues soon. There's going to need to be a lot to reverse what has happened over the past eight years.

Beyond that, the Congress has a lot to get moving on. For those of us on the political left, there is so very much we have been wanting to have accomplished since 1995. Let's start making it happen, folks.
