2004 Presidential Transition
Mike Littwin writes about president Bush's second inauguration in his column in today's Rocky Mountain News [January 21, 2005, "Littwin: In a word, Iraq could have final say"]. He writes, "And then there were the pundits to remind us that the Bush administration is standing with governments in Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and other places where standing up for liberty can find you sitting in a prison cell. You've probably heard often enough in the past few days that, historically speaking, second terms are difficult. And we know that Bush is preparing to take on issues of historic sweep, including Social Security. But Bush proclaimed himself the war president in the campaign because he has made the war in Iraq the definining issue of his presidency. It's Iraq that Bush has insisted is the central battlefield of the war on terror. It's the war for which no one seems ready to predict when American troops might come home. And it's the war in Iraq, when all the speeches are done, that may not allow the final word to George W. Bush."
Update: Here's a link to pictures of the Denver Counter Coronation Wednesday. Those crazy kids. Just don't let anyone know that it was sixty degress here that day.
