The President's First Three Days

President Obama: Kudos on your ethics changes for the Executive Branch! Now if we could just get Congress to accept the same limitations, we'd really clean up Washington.

Bringing the Troops Home: Glad it's finally going to happen. Bush's surge (which should have happened two years before) worked and we can start transitioning power back to the Iraqi people.

Closing Gitmo: Not so sure about this one. I have friends that have visited there on fact-finding missions and they say the prisoners are treated better than the guards are! I guess Leavenworth would be a great place to transfer the remaining prisoners until the courts decide what to do with them. Meanwhile, Prez Obama needs to call an international meeting on how exactly to deal with non-state sponsored terrorists and pirates. Then all countries need to abide by that agreement.

Reversing the Course on Intelligence: We're going back to pre-911 days. What did that get us?

The Economy: Sure it's bad. Sure it's going to get worse. But why is Obama using scare tactics to try and get Congress to pass the BIG, BIG, BIG Bailout? Is he afraid that if we look at what he's trying to get pushed through we'll see that the emperor has no clothes? Bush has already gotten one by us. Remember the old Russian saying (courtesy of Star Trek's Chekof): "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."

Refunding Overseas Abortion: Good way to make the Islamic terrorists madder at us.
