Russell,
Apparently I don’t fully understand your comment. It seems to me that Obama is going to try to listen to us, pick our best ideas and make them happen, while simultaneously correcting bad behavior and fixing our mistakes of the past to the extent possible.

Mike: exactly. That’s (just one of) the reason why Obama should end the practice from day one.

Russell,
I fail to see how torture is good for anyone. It doesn’t get information, and it’s cruel and unusual punishment. It’s also a war crime.

Hmmm…. And how is handing the first black president this pile of shit going to be a good thing? Basically, the best he can do is not make it worse, and he’s already committed to making us poorer with his support for the failout, his promise not to have secret ballots for union votes, to amend NAFTA to make it more union-friendly, to spend more money. He’s promised to end the war in Iraq. It seems like if it’s something bad for the average US citizen, he plans to take action on it, and if it’s something good for the average US citizen, it’s something he’s going to stop doing, like the war in Iraq, or torture.

Basically, Obama needs to start doing less in order to succeed. If you want to return to earth, you have to start by going slower.

Blogging at MSM, I had to link that as Nation Finally ****** Enough To Make Social Progress.

There are a lot of six-asterisk words if you use your imagination.
