Barak Obama meets with the Queen of England. He asks her, "Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips you can give to me?" "Well," says the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people." Obama frowns, then asked, "But how do I know the people around me are really intelligent?" The Queen takes a sip of tea. "Oh, that's easy, you just ask them to answer an intelligent riddle." The Queen pushes a button on her intercom. "Please send Tony Blair in here, would you?" Tony Blair walks into the room and says, "Yes, my Queen?" The Queen smiles and says, "Answer me this please, Tony ~ ~ ~ Your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister . . . Who is it?" Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answers, "That would be me." "Yes! Very good," says the Queen. Obama goes back home to ask Joe Biden, his vice presidential choice the same question ~ ~ ~ "Joe, answer this for me. Your mother and your father have a child. It's not your brother and it's not your sister. Who is it?" "I'm not sure," says Biden. "Let me get back to you on that one." He goes to his advisors and asks every one, but none can give him an answer. Finally, he ends up in the men's room and recognizes Colin Powell's shoes in the next stall. Biden asks Powell, "Colin, can you answer this for me? Your mother and father have a child and it's not your brother or your sister. Who is it?" Colin Powell yells back, "That's easy ~ It's me!" Biden smiles, and says, "Thanks!" Then, he goes back to speak with Obama. "Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. It is Colin Powell!" Obama gets up, stomps over to Biden, and angrily yells into his face, "No, you idiot! . . . It's Tony Blair!"

I'm a Republican while many of us are Democrats or independents. I care to follow the world and what is happening, while some of us choose not to. I voted for McCain while many of you voted for Obama or did not vote at all.
Today We Are One America
Today the presidency passes from Bush to Obama. Our domestic problems still exist as do our problems around the world. Terrorism and the economy just to name two will not go away simply because we are moving from one administration to another. We need focused, non-partisan decision making and dedication from our elected officials to help us through these difficult times.

Criticism will not go away
Going forward if I agree with our president I will be the first to congratulate him on a job well done. When I see mistakes being made I will say that as well. Tomorrow I revert back to being a conservative practicing Republicanism.
But for today, on this historic inauguration day, I will say this:
Good luck and god speed president Obama. As Americans we are all counting on you to help get us through our country's difficult times at home and around the world.
That is a non-partisan position that all Americans, should abide by.
Today, we are one America. Tomorrow, the honeymoon is over and we as Americans need to start tackling the issues that confront our great country!
