To most Democrats and many Americans, the Bush/Cheney nightmare is over!
With the start of the new Congress, and President Barack Obama's inauguration two weeks away, there is a new hope that both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue can work together on some of the most serious problems facing this country in recent history.
The answers to solving those problems may not be apparent to ordinary Americans, but what they do know is the old way didn't work. And the voter's patience will be short, because they need help - and they are scared.

January 6th, 2009 11:21 am ET People may call it the Bush/Cheney nightmare but the truth is that congress had more to do with what went on this past 8 years than the pres. did. The blame needs to be laid on them all. Obama and his cronies have a lot to deal with, a lot being of their own making also since they refused to reign in Wall Street and the banks. So we shall see how they handle it. It's not going to be a walk in the park like some think since they think Obama is God and can do it all. He is no where near that and I'm sure some things he'll try will fail. Cindy...Ga. |

January 6th, 2009 11:27 am ET Great advice Ed. I particularly like the last one you made to Obama – "And lastly, make only big decisions. You've got a whole government out there to make the small ones." More Presidents need to remember this advice. |

January 6th, 2009 12:33 pm ET Great advice Ed. I just hope they take it. Bad timing for such petty indifferences of no real consequence except making their party look small at a time when they should be celebrating their Victory. with those who put their confidence and trust in them! |
