First Day Blues


After the pomp and majesty of yesterday's Presidential Inauguration, it is down to business for the new leader of the western world as he gets to grips with the unenviable tasks which lie ahead for him. Has anybody ever started a job with greater problems, and even greater expectation?. His To Do list must make interesting reading.
1) Order stationery
2) Track down Bin Laden
3) Solve Credit Crisis
4) Got to Wal-Mart and price up desks
5) Solve problems in the Gaza Strip
6) Change letterheads.

The most pleasing aspect of yesterday's Obamafest was the moment when he proved he was human after all. Although he quickly regained his composure, it was reassuring that he isn't perfect, although he does appear as close to perfection as any other human being on the planet. Time will tell if he is to be true to his word, and cement his place in history forever. But right now, the expectation of the entire world rests on his shoulders; it will be fascinating to discover how he copes with that.
