Presidential Sleeper Hold

I'm heading to Washington in a few days for the inauguration and it is going to be exciting. It is estimated that over 2m people will descend upon our capital to witness Barack's first moments as POTUS.

The nation, if not the world, holds with bated breath. In these steadily deteriorating times Barack Obama represents the hope and optimism of the American spirit. His story, in itself, is history. No matter left, right, center or apathetic, we all need to come together to solve the complex issues facing us today. Barack and his ideas may not always be the rights ones. But his process is. Inclusion, soft power, moderation, and pragmatism must rule the day.

It is in this spirit which I seek to celebrate history, and I hope the rest of you will too. Whether it is in Arizona, Philadelphia, Vietnam, or anywhere in between, this is an exciting time for ourselves and our world. Our challenges has brought us this shining opportunity. Let us seize it by the throat.
