Well I must say I’m glad to finally see BushCo moving on. The country seems to have been in a perpetual malaise under Bush – one that has only seemed to get worse in the final months of his presidency.

Like a lot of other people, I finally have some hope that things could improve. Perhaps it’s the same hope that we always feel at the start of a new administration, but somehow it feels different this time. That this guy could actually make a difference. I hope so!
