Ok .. just a few comments on Obama's first day in the Oval Office.
You will remember that one of the first things Clinton did when he took office was to pave the way for gays in the military. By that we must assume that Clinton placed a supreme importance on that issue. Obama? His first move was to stop the trials of accused Islamic terrorists and to move to close Gitmo. Right now intelligence experts are warning us that the Islamic goons want to hit us quick and hard under a new president, What sort of message is being sent to these Islamic terrorists? Is it possible that this is will be seen as a signal that Barack Obama will be soft on terrorism?
On the economic stimulus issue ... Obama's Treasury ("Pay taxes? Who, me?") is announcing a bold new plan to rescue the banks. I wonder if that bold plan includes nationalization. Something needs to be done to get banks lending money again. How do you encourage the banks to lend money again right now by spending $355 billion on highways and bridges next year. If you have an explanation, I would sure like to hear it.
Last night Obama took the oath of office again. Good. This time Justice Roberts got it right. That means we won't be getting idiotic phone calls from people saying that Obama really isn't the president because the Chief Justice flubbed it.
