At the midpoint of the Obama administration, we can shudder at the thought of President Palin! But more likely, on this day in 2013 we will be hailing President Pawlenty, Romney or Huckabee as the Free World's new Chief. Don't kid yourself, Democrats and "progressives", Obama is one-term toast. Here in Patria, I like Obama, hope he does manage to win re-election in 2012, but just don't see it happening given the right-wing Tea Party-led revolt against him that has been brewing almost from the day he was elected, and given what he has accomplished - or failed to accomplish - in the first two years of his presidency, dragging down many Democrat members of Congress with him in the recent mid-term election. He couldn't even win the 2016 Olympics for his adopted hometown of Chicago!
Having shared that mini-rant, let's remember a stirring Inaugural Address delivered half a century ago today. Jan. 20, 1961... ask not what Youtube can do for you, ask what you can do with a Youtube clip!
