The direction was inconsistent, poorly posted and distributed neither visually or audibly and crowds were far too large for the infrastructure the city set up, despite pre-inauguration estimates in the multiple millions. <BR/><BR/>On the politics note, I disagree. While 24-hour news and online coverage has changed the way politics, and hence political scandals, are covered, I think President Barack Obama has the best chance to break this chain of stagnant action. Despite the fanfare and the hype, I think Obama has the ability to deliver the goods for our nation. Whether that hype will come to a head has yet to be seen, but I have faith Obama will work closely in the domestic and global scene to get the wheels turning for the economy again soon.<BR/><BR/>-DerekWhitTrip1https://www.blogger.com/profile/16250134661020780702noreply@blogger.com
