Today I read in the paper that President Obama's first official act was to declare January 20th a quasi-temporary-holiday. Who declares a national holiday in honor of themselves? I can understand he wants to express his message of hope and peace, etc. But it's ridiculous that he has to enact a proclamation to announce his generic goodwill rather than simply write a letter, it's not like he's lacking an audience. I'm not old enough or experienced enough to know if all presidents behave like they're sitting on a throne, but this one certainly does.
