Happy birthday to the Library of Congress—established on this day in 1800.

Very fitting.

Watched the ceremony for George W. Bush's library this morning. It was pretty good. I thought Clinton and Obama were rather sweet.

I would have preferred for Obama not to have used the time promoting some of his agenda items that Bush also championed like immigration reform.

I would have preferred for Bush not to have tried to resell us on his administration's adherence to "principles". It's fine for him to be proud of himself to a certain extent, but some humility is also in order at this stage.

Obama did retain some of Bush's policies--even making the tax cuts permanent.
