So, now I'll pause and offer just a few bullet points on the inauguration.

• I appreciated Mr. Obama's speech. It was hopeful and clear.
• I thought Rick Warren did a fine job, as well.
• I thought the hype was a bit out of control…but it wasn't Mr. Obama's fault. It was the media's. 
• On the whole, while I didn't vote for Barack Obama, I believe that the choices he's made (i.e., of cabinet posts, etc.) and statements he has made, on the whole, to be sensitive, measured, and wise.
• My biggest fear about Mr. Obama's presidency is that his policies may lead to continuing moral decline in our nation. My greatest hope is that we might become a kinder, more fair, and more hopeful people under his leadership.
• I thought the anti-Bush pageantry around the inauguration deplorable. We ought to be ashamed of ourselves for that.
• The Obama's daughters are beyond cute.
