It's difficult to *overstate* how much of a dork Dubya is, but in fairness, he didn't make the whole mess, or by himself. (I will give him a major share of the credit for gutting the Constitution though.) I hope that Mr. Obama does have the wisdom & intelligence we need to at least well-started on the work we have ahead, & the charisma to keep us motivated. But I *do* have hope, & even a little faith in America now.
