President Obama will be inaugurated when it's 2 a.m. on Wednesday in Tokyo - 3 1/2 hours after I post this. So we will watch it on our Apple TV or on the web when we wake up.
I'm feeling hopeful about what Obama can do - he is so brilliant and energetic and graciously non-ideological. But I'm also concerned that no human being can meet the expectations and difficulties that await him, and then what will we do?
Can he really tame the most severe partisans in both parties? Can he end the war, fix the banking system, re-arrange health insurance, fix Social Security, improve education, rebuild bridges and schools, make peace in the Middle East, walk on water, and all that?
It will be thrilling to watch, in any case. Good riddance, GW Bush.
