Good Morning Bloggers - I was an early Obama supporter, having donated to his campaign nearly three years ago. I made an early choice that I liked his positions, and that we needed new blood in politics, and more diversity.After months of volunteering and financial support, I am very proud to be witnessing his inauguration. I too want to celebrate this historical event, and extend my best wishes to African-Americans and others who are standing a little taller today.
It is also wonderful to celebrate Obama's ascent close to the day we honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It's amazing when you think about it; only four decades ago the haters were openly killing people because of their skin color. We've come a long way. I guess dreams can come true, even in politics.
I acknowledge the historic nature of this inauguration, but I also want to acknowledge the defeat of everything we've been fighting against over the past eight years. George Bush and Dick Cheney are leaving the White House in disgrace today. They are leaving as the most unpopular president and vice-president in American history.
Despite what their supporters say, newspapers at home and around the world are celebrating their departure. We may not have impeached them, thanks to Pelosi and the Democrats, or thrown them in jail yet, but we will be free of them. Their actual exit, which was considered questionable by many, is a victory to be celebrated.
So, let's celebrate Barack Obama as the next President of the United States, but it's just as important to celebrate the departure of the WORST dynamic duo to ever occupy the White House. The criminals are being forced out, and there's nothing they, or their supporters, can do about it.
Our nation will hopefully once again be lead by individuals who believe in the rule of law, and the concept that nobody, no matter how powerful, is above that law. We'll continue to fight to bring them to justice, but in the meantime it's enough to know they are leaving. The nightmare is finally over. Thank you God.
Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!

You are right tomorrow is going to be a wonderful day, and the following days are going to be great for millions of our senior citizens and retired military who may lose part of their SS and retirement payments to these money grabbing Magpies of the Obama administration to re-distribute to all of the dead beats in the country who think they are owed something.
"The criminals are being forced out, and there's nothing they, or their supporters, can do about it."
Being forced out? No they are leaving because their term is over as will Obama do when his is over.
I take it from your sur name you are from one of the eastern European countries, probably around Croatia or the immediate vicinity which explains your mentality.
Don't you think it is about time you assimilate and become an American?
Boh there is nothing wrong with Political dissent, that is what made this country great, but when it turns destructive and hateful it serves no purpose other than the person, so get a grip because you have nothing important to say, the reason I say that is no one is posting other than me and this is my last response to a idiot.
I am not destructive or hateful. I simply disagree with your side and believe that George Bush and Dick Cheney are war criminals who will hopefully, eventually be brought to justice. Oh yes, and I get hundreds of readers a day - perhaps they just agree with me. You're the only one who seems to post absurd right-wing comments about me being unAmerican and unassimilated. Trust me, you can go and never post again and we won't miss it. You don't add very much with your postings. Hopefully it is your last comment, but somehow I doubt it. MB
