Happy Birthday, lightning36; Welcome President Obama

Sarah (pregnant sister-in-law): You might have to share your birthday with my new son.
lightning36: I don't want to share. Tell him not to come until the 21st.
Sarah: Oh -- your birthday is on inauguration day.
lightning: Yeah. But don't forget -- I voted for McCain.
Sarah: It is an historic event.
lightning36: So was the Boston Massacre.

Having a January 20 birthday means that you have a a new president seated on your birthday every four years. So, time for a quick review of President Obama. I was going to write a long analysis, but hey -- it's my birthday and I don't feel like it!

BAD: Lack of executive experience, questionable friends and acquaintances, truthfulness??
GOOD: Ability to inspire, intelligence, midwest values

He has a tough road ahead of him, attempting to fix everything that has been screwed up over the past few years. He is a good talker, and now we will get to find out what is behind the talk.

Best wishes, President Obama. We need you to do well.
