Some things won’t change with the new administration. President Obama will no doubt pursue some policies that are the continuation of a bankrupt status quo. We’ll be disappointed with him at times.

How successful he will be is obviously unknown, but I hope and expect that I will be able to congratulate him on taking important steps for our country. After the previous administration, we desperately need that.
