The big questions

The big questions on all our minds at the moment, I imagine, an endless seventy-odd days from the end of the Bush years: What can Barack Obama do during this transitional time to keep his momentum, and to address ongoing crises and challenges? What can he find for his energized supporters to do, and to start building bridges to those who didn't vote for him? And, more worryingly, what will Bush and Cheney do with their remaining time in office? They've wasted few other opportunities for mischief!
