When I read the "preamble" to her column, I got a funny feeling. Mentioning that Warren Buffet and James BAker were in the hotel lobby show me that this gal has drifted into the camp of the elites. Her criticism is unwarranted and over the top. All inaugural addresses are utopian in nature. Reagan's first was a battle cry: "government is not the solution, government is the problem."

Peggy, take a deep breath and stop taking yourself so seriously.

Peggy is part of the elite. And many of those elites helped reelect GWB. James Baker is our elite!! And what is it about staying in an expensive hotel that gets your goat. Heck, anyone with the money could do it and be in the "camp of the elites". Rich people aren't the problem. Unless you are a communist or something.

"Mentioning...James BAker...in the hotel lobby..."

I gotta say, it sounds like Mr. Baker knows how to dress for an evacuation!

I agree. I didn't understand why she even mentioned James Baker and Warren Buffet. It served no purpose as far as I could tell.

This was an inaugural speech, not the state of the union address. I thought the speech was exactly what should be said for the occasion.
