Inauguration day brings to mind the reason I don't read science fiction. It's never weird enough. Today, America will place more power than any peacetime president ever has wielded into the hands of a man nobody knows. He has convinced more incompatible constituencies that he takes their side than any politician in American history. And through no fault or merit of his own, he has stumbled into more power than the White House has had since World War II.
The Dems will miss GWB. They will still blame Bush when their policies don't work out as they intend but, eventually, the blame game will ring hollow. At some point, the Dems will have only themselves to blame because GWB and the Republicans are, for the most part, out of power.
