An historic inaugural post of 2009
Spoken from the steps of the White House late last week:
"...and these past few months have proved difficult not only for Americans, but for our neighbours living around the world. There isn't a person on this planet who has not, in some way, experienced the difficulties of these uncertain and challenging times. We stand united, because that's what we do best, and we'll show the world yet again just how great this nation can be. We've been through rough times before, and we'll make it through once more.
And one day, backguy will finally update his journal again; and when he does, we will emerge stronger and more resilient than ever before. But until then, we hold onto hope - hope for a better day, and hope for a prosperous future for our children."
Hope has prevailed. I'm back.
