You’re The Decider

Obama should torture high level people in the outgoing administration to see who put them up to the gross negligence/sabotage of US economy and military.
Wow. Swift would be proud. I’ve often wondered about allowing US manufacturing to collapse and sending creation of military munitions and such overseas… seems like opportunity for sabotage.

I’m impressed with everything that is up in the air being directed at the same time:

Inaugural festivities including parade, train ride, lincoln memorial, security, metro, parties
Policies including health, stimulus, and green economy. I love that President Elect Hopey has people calling his plan not bold enough. I’d also imagine that you can’t get anything through [...]

She gave me tickets to the inauguration. Wow! I’m so excited. I will take pictures. How awesome to be one of 240,000 very close to his speech. I will not mind trading a lot of my personal liberty in this instance for security. I hope it’s really good.

That this was approved so quickly means that not only was BO and team really good at the closing of the campaign, but was multitasking [...]

To balance out the disappointments, I’ll also post on things that make me happy.
1) Obama won. Yay. I’m happy that there weren’t any of the irregularities that plagued the previous two presidential elections.
2) Chief of staff pick. It’s good to have someone who will help govern, and also from a perspective of getting things done. [...]

Over the next four years, I’m sure president Obama will do things that I don’t agree with.
I thought I’d start early and get some stuff out of my system.
1) FISA. I believe in protecting American’s civil liberties first and foremost. This bill would have made it okay for some telecomm companies to have broken the [...]

Has a leader of this country asked me to do something, the way this one is.

O’Reilly is one of my favorite book publishers. Well, not a publisher of my favorite books, but rather I’m a fan of what he’s published. Books on UNIX system stuff taught me about interwebs in mid-90s. Yay open standards!
