Thanks Redux.

Raine used to post here, and so did dov, but his views weren't popular with some people and Raine got the huffs and left.

It's a shame really. They both had some interesting points of view.

k... until them I will point and laugh where appropriate.

Yea, well I guess it is ok to laugh and point at the president. Or I could just throw my shoe at him.

Typical merc nonsense.

Gonna call Bullshit on this. The board spam would indicate otherwise.

That's cool. I call bull shit on your feeling that you call bull shit on anything I post. I could give a rats ass what you think say or comment about my posts. So I guess the feeling is at the very least a common one between us.

That is way to broad. There are many reasons not to release information. So you want to see the information and they you get to tell us whether or not it would be a threat to national security? There are other people who are paid to do that. You just aren't one of them. And special interest groups are not either. There is a system in place for this process. It works.
Not any more it doesn't. Hopefully that will be restored with the new administration.

For, it seems, a very strange value of "doing a lot." I'm certainly not embarrassed to have voted for the other guy. The Repubs are doing all they can to keep the Dems from taking the bit in their teeth and running wild. If the Dems succeed in running wild, they will crash, terribly.

You mean like the Republicans did for six years...running wild, rubber stamping everything Bush wanted, conducting virtually no Congressional oversight of the Executive Branch, giving Bush unprecedented 'war powers (warrantless wiretaps of citizens, circumventing US treaty obligations...)w/o a Congressional war powers resolution, politicizing the Dept of Justice, nearly doubling the national debt to over $9 trillion...and then crashing with a thud!

I guess we shall see if the Democrats meet that lofty standard, but people w/o an agenda, by that I mean most Americans, will probably wait beyond one month before making that judgement.

I like the new EOs on government contracting, reviewing detention policies, ensuring lawful interrogations, protecting presidential records. I like the new FOIA memorandum and guidelines. I like the action by the Dept of Interior to put a hold on oil/gas exploration leases in proximity to national parks. I like the SCHIP expansion and the Pay Equity Act. And I like the bold action on the stimulus bil, although I would have preferred it being bolder.

I like that many Americans give Obama and the Democratic Leaders in Congress high approval ratings as well:

I like that even a majority of Republicans are optimistic about Obama
But I know the public has little patience and high expectations.

And I know that Merc doesnt believe in polls.
