History

I just watched as Barack Hussein Obama took the Oath of Office of the President of the United States. Here's to four years of peace and prosperity for all peoples of the earth. "To Lincoln - and now to Obama - this is not only a lofty dream or sweet poetry to soothe the soul by wrapping it in high aspiration. It was and is the attainable goal of flesh-and-blood humans who would have to find ways to provide fairly rewarded work, education, health care, security in our invalid or older years, and - most of all - equality of opportunity and the right to be treated with dignity. " -- Mario M. Cuomo, governor of New York from 1983-1995
