…a truly wired president? If elected, I hope Obama continues in this fashion. It will be interesting to see more of what goes on behind the scenes in the exectutive branch. Oh course, I know it will all be edited and give a proper spine, but still, I look forward to this type in openness.
“What are you talking about?” you ask. THIS article. ‘Specially the bits about… “He pictures online fireside chats, and posting video of internal debates on topics like healthcare.
I have an interest in politics, but I hate the fact that money is the biggest factor in getting someone elected. Because of this, I never donate. However, I am seriously thinking of giving Sean Tevis a few dollars. And the wierd thing is, I’m not even in his state! - Check out his site by clicking below…
The Daily Kos had this article about the recent “drilling for offshore oil” talk that has been in the news. If you can get past all the Republican bashing rhetoric, it had some interesting information. Apparently, there is no “ban”, and there are thousands of offshore acres already open to drilling, but the oil companies aren’t drilling. When you look at it, you can really see that this “conversation” that is being held is really just a way for the right to say “we want to help out Americans at the pump, but the left wont let us”, when in fact, if the oil companies wanted to drill, their is nothing stopping them from setting up shop in many places off shore. This is an excellent example of the art of politics in action. - READ IT HERE
UPDATE - Huffington Post had this article today, kinda sorta about the same thing. INTERESTING READ.
After a morning of working in my sons preschool classroom, and an evening of Girl Scouts with my daughter, I’m finally going to get out and see Iron Man! Yippeeeee!!! Cant wait. - And so, in no way related, I give you too links I found today. - Clinton/Obama & Obama/Africa - Enjoy.
The more I read about Barack Obama, the more I like the guy. Take the time to read this article by Cass R. Sunstein, a former colleague of Obamas at the University of Chicago Law School. A great read, and an insightful look at the man and his decision making process. He seems to be the exact opposite of what I’ve read about “the Decider”, President Bush. - - LINK
With everyone worried about the cost of oil, and the recession we may or may not be in, (and don’t get me going about the possibility of a coming depression!), the thing that has worried me the most is the falling dollar. It seems to me that this nations failings in the last seven years is being reflected in the value of the dollar. Anyway, I am not an economic that I follow in the news.
The reason I mention all of this, is because of a post I found over on Crooks and Liars. It seems like the current administration is putting their heads in the sand in regards to this subject. Ugh! Like the White House hasn’t given me enough to be frustrated about in past! January 20th, 2009 is how many days away?
I stumbled upon this article today. It says that Republicans are now voting for Hilary. An interesting political theory. I wonder if it is true? Any thoughts?
An amazing journey through America. I love the art aspect of it. I hate the irrational fear that has been feed to our nation. Bravo to Mr. Fazel for not giving up. LINK
