Our country does something that many countries can't imagine. We peacefully hand over the keys to the White House to a new guy and throw a big party. Every new president shares high approval numbers as people who didn't even cast a vote for the winner share in the hope. That's the way we do it. I like that.
Obviously, I'm a partisan. I have ideals and core beliefs. You all know Obama doesn't fit into these and because you pay attention to politics you know that there is truth to the stigma that he's a socialist in many ways. Today I will forget this and just celebrate the peaceful transition of power. Just like Germany did in the early 30's...so be a good German for one day and enjoy the inauguration. (Yes, I'm kidding)
There will be many references to Dr. Martin Luther King made tomorrow and snippets of his speeches will be played but I can't recommend enough that you listen to some of his famous speeches from beginning to end. So many memorable moments for me in those speeches never became sound bites.
Thanks for the many warm wishes regarding Chesty. It sucks losing a pet and so many of you had many encouraging and comforting words. Thank you again.

I enjoy watching that peaceful transition also. There is something almost mystical about it.
