Bubba, Peaches (Bassets for Obama), and I watched our new President Barack Obama take the Oath of Office together this morning.  Even though I couldn't be in Washington D.C. to share in the moment of this historic inauguration, I felt the energy and excitement all the way here in Sacramento. The sun was shining warm and bright here today, which seemed a perfect reminder that America's Dark Ages are over as Bush finally leaves the White House, and now begins a new Age of Obama, of renewed hope for our nation's Renaissance.  As he said, there is much work to be done, but I have faith that under his wise and intelligent leadership, our country can be great and respected among peace-loving nations once again.

 HAIL TO THE CHIEF!
