To my readers: This is not a political blog. That said, I simply MUST use this venue to express my joy at the inauguration of Barack Hussein Obama as our 44th president.

No matter who you voted for, you cannot deny the historical significance of this day. To those who hold opposing political views, I ask for your cooperation insofar as you are capable, in the effort of restoring the United States of America to a position of premier importance in the world.

In closing, I am once more proud of being an American. Let us show the world what can be done.

Yes. We. Can.
