# President Obama

The inauguration was on a TV at work, but the sound was turned down. Someone turned up the volume at one point and ironically, the only words of the inaugural speech I heard were a rather rousing '... and we will defeat them!'

Plus ca change and all that. And Obama mania (among Americans and non-Americans alike) is getting to be a bit much now. For sure, today's a great day in the history of America, and Obama is a man who appears capable of true greatness, but some perspective please. The dude being sworn into office is still just a politician, not the messiah.
