Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader extends he hearty congratulations to our new President, Barack Obama. Sorry that the oath was delayed a few minutes by that musical piece. (Although, Rick Warren probably could have cut a minute or two off his invocation.) Your Maximum Leader supposes that he should also apologize for the Chief Justice. It seems as though he might have been a little nervous there.

Your address was good. It was well delivered and had great flow. It was, as all the good inauguration addresses are, short on specifics and high on rhetoric. That is not a fault.

Mr. President you have a great burden on your shoulders. May God bless you and help you carry it. We will likely disagree on many issues, but you have my best wishes for success.

Carry on.
