Inauguration Day
Last year I purchased one of those George Bush countdown clocks for my father who has been one of President Bush's biggest critics. In fact, Dad's been looking forward to this day since President Bush took office eight years ago. Today was supposed to be the big day when the clock would terminate with some sort of electronic fanfare, but instead of playing an electronic version of a Sousa classic, the countdown clock anticlimactically stopped two months ago.
Thousands of American soldiers and countless enemy combatants and civilians have been killed in President Bush's wars.
How many more thousands will pay the ultimate price in President Obama's wars?
Can you say body bags? 
Have a Nice War!

It was fun while it lasted though. 
Dad's George Bush countdown clock stopped prematurely, but the wars President Bush initiated are still going strong, and now that President Obama has been inaugurated as the Commander and Chief of the Armed Forces, these wars, and the deaths that will result from them, are now his responsibility.
