It seems everyone is letting out a huge sigh of relief now that Barack Obama is President of the United States of America. I find myself checking in with a lot of political news sites figuring out what his next steps are and what he’s going to do in his first 100 days.

He’s smart, thoughtful, and I think he really believes in the fundamental values of the U.S. Constitution. I am hard pressed to think of somebody more capable of the job than him. But I think also I’m just a little wary considering how bad things have been politically for the past few years.

Anyway, the good news is that hope is not lost.
