As the whole world is poised, waiting to watch this historic inauguration, New York reservation takers at the hot restaurants still continue to insult patrons by only offering them 5pm “early bird” or 10pm “night owl” tables.

Remember guys with Barack Obama as President this is “real people” time. Fame and success depends on loyalty over long periods of time. Enough whining about hard to get reservations; let’s instead look at today as a day of magic and a day of hope. Can one man bring America back to its rightful place in the world?

So let’s put all the negative thoughts aside for day and look forward to an invigorated nation.
