Day One, a comment

This is a pretty good take on what the new president has in store, powerwise. A true conservative- one who is always against the accumulation of power in one branch of government- might be really worried about this "perfect storm" of executive power: multiple crises, a failed presidency, a strong and assertive new executive, control of congress, and very high public support.
Ironically, the only thing that might check this aggrandizment is Obama's own conservative temperament...

Enjoy the big day. At school we are watching the ceremony on the big screen. Hopefully some guests will be joining us.
