On the Eve of Inauguration



A week ago I asked you to spend some time reflecting on the previous administration, and now I am going to ask of you the herculean task of not just reflection, but imagination: imagine what the Obama administration will be like if it fails to act.

A week ago some of us were up in arms about the choice of RIck Warren to lead the inaugural invocation, though, to be fair, enough of us were content to believe that Obama would be a new Uniter, not a Divider.

A week ago some of us held signs loudly proclaiming "Arrest Bush!" But who is going to do so, if not the next administration?

The justice you seek lies in the hot little hands of the Forty-fourth President of the United States of America: Barack Hussein Obama. If he fails to act, there will be no excuse. He will have chosen not to.

To everyone who ever held a sign loudly proclaiming to "Impeach Bush!" take note. If you ever wanted to see Bush 43 brought to justice, take note. Obama is the only one who can make it happen. Let us all hope that he does.
