Today is one of the greatest days in the history of the world, and it has nothing to do with Obama.
There is a veritable avalanche of media hype about the inauguration of President Obama, and some of it makes good sense. After all, he is the first bi-racial President.
Today is important for something far greater than the man. Today the world will witness, once again, the peaceful transfer of power in the greatest nation on the face of the earth. These men are political opponents, and yet President George W. Bush will stand right next to Mr. Obama as he takes the oath of office.
Not many countries can say that about themselves, and we were the first and we can still say it. If you ever needed a reason to be proud of your country, Mrs. Obama, this legacy is it.
