Today is a day that many of us have been anticipating for months, or even years. Politics aside, we have a new leader in place that might be just the kind of figure we need to guide the country through a very difficult period, someone who can lead us as we "begin again the work of remaking America."
If we need a statistic to underscore President Obama's point that our present challenges "will not be met easily or in a short span of time," I would submit that the Dow's 4% fall on this otherwise hopeful day serves that purpose. So the road ahead is looking like a long one.
Fortunately for us, the wind is still free.
