2009 Has to Be Better Than the Last Eight

For starters, 2009 will be better than the last 8 years in terms of leadership in our country. You may disagree with Obama's priorities [or, because he's a Muslim, cohorts with terrorists, etc], but he's not clueless. Obviously, he has to prove that he can lead--and lead the US in a progressive direction. Yet, I have some realistic hope of better years ahead. Since he won't get to work until the 20th, let's take a look at what the departing president told us. Unfortunately, he was able to convince a large number of Americans--and here lies our responsibility as citizens to keep an watchful eye on our leaders, and to take proper care in making important decisions.
