The Inauguration of Barack Obama on Jan. 20 marks the end of the single worst presidency in American history, truly our bleakest days.

Never has an administration been so duplicitous and hostile to the cause of liberty as that of George W. Bush.

Looking forward, we see Jan. 20 as a day that has some 20 minutes more daylight than December 20. The long winter is dying down.

Politically, is it possible to have a president whom we believe is dedicated to the oath he to prepared to swear? Yes.

For those who struggle with long winters and this authoritarian, reckless administration, the answer is not to hang on and endure but rather to get busy, work out and see that a lesson of the Bush administration is this: If you let a president, he can ruin a country and the Andrew Sullivans, David Broders and other such cowardly souls will be there to cheer on the carnage.

For the rest of us, we are ready to move forward like our futures depend on it.
