It is a heavy burden that now lies on the shoulders of the President elect.
May it bring back the Folks who could not tolerate the hypocrisy that dripped from the mouths of those in and for the Bush admin.

As Rufus Wainwright wrote about leaving America and moving to Berlin...

I'm going to a town that has already been burnt down
I'm going to a place that has already been disgraced
I'm gonna see some folks who have already been let down
I'm so tired of America

I'm gonna make it up for all of The Sunday Times
I'm gonna make it up for all of the nursery rhymes
They never really seem to want to tell the truth
I'm so tired of you, America

Making my own way home, ain't gonna be alone
I've got a life to lead, America
I've got a life to lead

Tell me, do you really think you go
to hell for having loved?
Tell me, enough of thinking
everything that you've done is good
I really need to know, after soaking the
body of Jesus Christ in blood
I'm so tired of America

I really need to know
I may just never see you again, or might as well
You took advantage of a world that loved you well
I'm going to a town that has already been burnt down
I'm so tired of you, America

May January 2009 bring the hope and healing this Country so badly needs.
