With trepidation, I look ahead to 2009 ...

The Obamas ... The "Family-Elect"

Having been a Hillary delegate through two levels of caucuses in the State of Washington, I clearly didn't think Barack Obama was the best choice to be our latest President-Elect. But in November's election the cream did not rise to the top--for either party. A race between Romney and Hillary would have been exhilarating--and proper considering the situation that Bush and his cronies (past and current) have left our nation and the world.

For 2009, we are facing what will likely be the worst--both economically and (from a world-view) foreign affairs wise--year since the late 1930s.

Only time will tell if we got the right man for these troubled times.
