It has been a while since I’ve posted here. I just wanted to chime in quickly and say that I am very happy the we now have President Obama, and even more thrilled that W has left the building. (good riddance!)
Obama is extremely popular right now. Unfortunately, his popularity has no where to go but down. What I’ve been impressed with so far about his administration:
1. His willingness to embrace dissension and debate.
2. His pledge to embrace and promote science
3. He has made “transparency and the rule of law” touchstones of his administration.
4. The fact that he mentioned “non-believers” amongst those who seek equality in his inauguration speech
5. He is displaying a good work ethic
6. He is denouncing torture and will shut down Guantanamo
7. He is drifting towards the middle and annoying some of the Democratic leaders
8. He is planning to decrease the military focus on Iraq and increase the focus on Afghanistan
9. He was very gracious to the outgoing administration
10. He is a good dancer!
