This a start of a new beginning. The start. Like my Grandmother used to say " The proofs in the Pudding."When Obama said in a meeting with the Left and the Right, "I Won" I believe he wasn't kidding

This article is weak, conflating the author's personal reaction to the inauguration with anxious but speculative criticism. As the last week has shown, it is a mistake to extrapolate Obama's transition to Obama's presidency. Moreover, I do not consider his appointments "less than inspiring." Certainly, there is a great amount of implementation on the Treasury and Commerce side that needs to occur, but why tar Obama with the last sins of the Bush administration? This is not a legitimate op-ed piece, but a series of anxieties thrown together.
