A Happy and Blessed New Year in 2009

On the eve of a new year, I leave my best wishes for 2009:


  • To President-elect Barack Obama--Best Wishes as you embark on a perilous journey. The miracle of the Presidency is that most who have held the office grew into it and rose to meet the challenges of the day. Here's wishing and hoping you join that illustrious crowd.

  • To the New York Yankees--Best Wishes on your quest to buy the National League Central Division

  • To the battered global financial markets--here's wishing that you bottom out quickly and start the process of rebuilding economies around the world

  • To leaders of the new Congress, that they may be touched, as Mr. Lincoln said, by better angels of their nature to put the interests of the nation ahead of regional, parochial and partisan goals

  • To those around the world living under the yoke of tyranny and oppression, that 2009 may mark the time when they began to breath the air of free men

  • And to all bloggers and readers--a happy and healthy New Year.

Happy New Year!
