Conversation Inauguration Special

Ross Reynolds
01/20/2009 at 12:00 p.m.

Today Barack Obama goes from hope to reality. It no longer matters what he says should be done. What counts now is what he does. Let's hear your realistic hopes for what the President can do about Iraq and Afghanistan, the financial crisis, health care and education. How has he done in the transition period? What do you think of his appointments? We'll hear reactions from some of inauguration parties here in Seattle. We'll check in with the celebrants in Washington, D.C. We'll parse the inaugural address. And we want to hear: what are your hopes for the Obama administration?

Ross Reynolds hosts a two hour focus on the inauguration.
