Day 2 was quite eventful for President Obama. He was inaugurated again to make sure the Chief Justice gets it right this time. Do his decisions from day 1 still count? I think the courts will take the spirit of the first oath as read.
Well all those who said Obama wasnt for change for not immediately closing Guantanamo well you had to wait less than 48 hours for that decision. A year from now the detention centre will be closed. Fidel Castro sent good wishes on his inauguration.
Another peace envoy has been sent out hot on the heals of George Mitchell former Ambassador Richard Holbrooke has been appointed Special Envoy to Pakistan and Afghanistan.
In recognition of the hard times facing people in the US the President has frozen senior aides pay and there will be a new ethics code in lobbying. Peace, moderation and transparency. The Change train has well and truly left the station.
One point though - Blackberry must be making a fortune out of all the publicity. The President is getting a spy proof phone at a cost of $3,350 - wonder what games its got?
