Alright, Obama made it to the White House -- truly a historic achievement, but it looks like he will have no time to rest on his laurels. Already there are challenges to his authority as President and its not even two days since the election.
Internationally, the Russians have thrown down the gauntlet, threatening to put missiles in on the border if Poland if the U.S. moves forward with its missile defense plans. More ominously for Obama and his hopes to implement his domestic agenda, Nancy Pelosi is acting like she won the election, making plans for billions in new stimulus spending and meeting with auto industry management to hammer out terms for a massive government financed bail out.
Obama better show some hand and make it clear who is in charge. The spector of Jimmy Carter looms large.
