Statement on the Inauguration

The Beatles express how I feel today:
I'm Down
Music and Lyrics by John Lennon and Paul McCartney
You telling lies thinkin' I can't see
You can't cry 'cause you're laughin' at me
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (Down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh, when you know I'm down?
(How can you laugh?) When you know I'm down

Man buys ring, woman throws it away
Same old thing happen every day
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (Down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh when you know I'm down?
(How can you laugh?) When you know I'm down

(guitar solo)

We're all alone and there's nobody else
You still moan "Keep your hands to yourself!"
I'm down (I'm really down)
Baby I'm down (Down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh, when you know I'm down?
(How can you laugh?) When you know I'm down

(solo)

Baby you know I'm down! (I'm really down)
Yes I'm down! (I'm really down)
I'm Down on the ground! (I'm really down)
Ahh! down!! (I'm really down)
Baby I'm upside down (down)
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, down!! (I'm really down)
Oh baby I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm feelin' upside down (I'm really down)
Ooh, I'm down (I'm really down)
Baby I'm down, yeah! Oh, baby I'm DOWN yeah!
Baby I'm down! (I'm really down)
Oh, Baby I'm down! (I'm really down)
Baby baby baby!! (I'm really down)

(fade out)

But, as Paul McCartney always says in his songs while on tour:
Let it Be
Music and Lyrics by John Lennon and Paul McCartney
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Yeah
There will be an answer, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

That said, I hope Jonathan Miller, Ben Chandler, Jack Conway, Jerry Abramson and Dr. Daniel Mongiardo are some of the answers within the state. Nationally, people like Evan Bayh, Russ Feingold, Simon Rosenberg, Peter Sullivan, Barbara Boxer, just to name a few. I can go on and on name-dropping. We may be down, but we must unite.
