Kudos to President Obama.

His first two days have been ass-kicking.

We could quibble about some of the details or possible loopholes in his changes, but even so, he has really impressed me.

I also was simply flabbergasted by Secretary Clinton's reception at State. What a testimonial to the hunger for a return to sane, competent, ethical governance.

I didn't think it possible, but I'm discovering that the last eight years were even worse than I realized. I guess there is something to the concept of outrage fatigue. Glad to see the Obama Administration taking clear, decisive, honorable steps to restore dignity to our government.

1. Oh yeah! A lot

of us are.

2. Yes they were that bad

It's post traumatic. Reading "President Obama orders Guantanamo closed" after being on DU in despair for years is so surreal and amazing. LBN is amazing. From horror to sanity in a couple days.

3. If events take their natural course over the next months, the entire

country will know that the last eight years were even worse than they realized.

4. We will be learning so much about the Bush years in the next few months

as Obama works to clean the mess the former prez left...
