Transition of Power

   Today, we again see the true test of a democracy play out, the
   transition of power, for the most powerful position on Earth.
   I remember eight years ago actually being somewhat worried that the
   Democrats in general or the outgoing President et al were going to
   somehow mar the event in supposed retribution for Florida. I wasn't
   really worried about a coup. I was worried about some embarrassingly
   bad behavior. I watched every minute, live, and like Y2K, everything
   worked like it was supposed to. Sure, there was the vandalism and
   looting of the White House that even the Left criticized, but George
   W. Bush immediately rose above it - and stayed above it for eight
   years.
   Work and a School Board meeting will keep me from watching it until I
   get home tonight, but I will watch it for all of its splendor and
   significance. For now, Barack Obama stops being an opposing candidate
   and starts being my President.
