With an army of opinions from coast to coast, Mr. Froomkin writes an excellent article on the last of Bush, and the first of Obama. I don't think Bush should have expected any less from Obama's speech. After all, he didn't have a lot to work with.
The crazy-ass right-wing bloggers have already started the conspiracy theories. Did you know, after two swearing in's, Obama is still not the President. wacko's.
