2009 The year of the return to sanity

This year I have made no New Year resolutions and I am making no predictions. However, I am optimistic that this year we will return to a more sane environment in the areas of Politics, Financial Markets and relationships with other nations.

Obama will usher in a fresh approach which will put the United States on a saner path at home and abroad. Most Americans gave him their vote of confidence in November. Now it is his turn to dig us out of the mess we are in step by step. Soon it will be Obama's watch... he will be held accountable for the progress or lack of it, that occurs on all fronts. In three weeks the guard changes and the New Year really begins.
