It's become a cliche, but we are blessed to live in a country where the transition of power is peaceful and orderly.  There will be plenty of occasions where I will disagree with President Obama, but like all patriotic Americans, I wish him and his family well.

As for President Bush, in my judgment, most of his decisions -- and especially the big ones -- will be vindicated by history.  He did what he thought best for the country, and he kept us safe.  God bless him and his family, and thank you.
