"I won"...

It's been an historic and busy week for President Obama. Of course, on Monday, there were the celebrations of Martin Luther King, Jr. Tuesday was THE DAY...HopeNChange™ was finally here.

Wednesday and Thursday it was about reversing the damage that the Bush administration did. Close Gitmo. Punt on a decision as to what to do with the prisoners there. End the Mexico City policy.

On Friday, President Obama, meeting with Democrat and Republican Congressional leaders on the $1 trillion+ bailout reminded us all about the new post-partisan world he has ushered us in. In response to Republicans who expressed concern about spending in the bill, President Obama delivered a simple message:

"I won."

How much truth there is in those words. Perhaps those two words say more about the upcoming Obama administration than his 20 minute inauguration speech, or even the two-plus years of campaigning...
