At last...

today is the last day of the worst presidency in American history. Tomorrow, the first day of hope in a long, long time.

My Con Law professor knows someone who took Con Law from Barack Obama when he was still teaching. One day, as an example of the greatness of this democracy, Obama said to his class "Hey, one day even I might be president!" The class' response? To laugh. Obama was probably feeling a little hurt when he asked why they were laughing. No one really had an answer.

Can you imagine tomorrow being one of those students who laughed at the idea of Barack Obama being President of the United States?

And how fitting that he would prove them all wrong the day after Martin Luther King Day.
