A new day dawnedExactly one year ago tomorrow.His critics see a glass half emptyBarack sees a good beginning.The road ahead is hard and longThe BushMess will not yieldIn a day or month or year.Those of us with BarackShould stop from time to timeFor a bit of fun and to survey the pathHow far to go and how far we have come.The Right may raise their voicesBut that is all they raiseEverything else they lowerHopes, expectations and results.The BushMess is their doingAs much as it was George W.'s.BushMess, BushMess go awayDon't return another day.Wishing will not prevent a repeat.Only hard work and constant vigilanceWill preserve our freedoms and our democracy.
