Leave Taking

by Cal Skinner

Building bridges.

That's what it seemed to be about after Barack Obama was sworn in as president.

After Obama was sworn in, he and his wife Michelle took their leave with Laura and George W. Bush on the Capitol steps.
As the Bush entourage took off in their helicopter, the new president, vice president and their wives waved good-bye.

Obama's chosen hatchet man Rahm Emanuel smiled and shock hands with the fallen Republican standard bearer John McCain.

The Era of Good Will will continue until those of us on the losing side of the presidential election read of the Executive Orders that Obama will quickly sign.
