I've been slacking o...Jack, <BR/>Thanks for the comment. I've been slacking off lately. It's not due to lack of topics. In fact there has been so much to write about, I can seldom settle on one topic. Hopefully my output will get back to normal levels. Anyway thanks for sticking with us. I think Sanford and Perry and the rest of their merry crew aspire to reach the level of their souless saint Dick Cheney. As far as the Obama administration goes, the last I thing I want is for them to become all about window dressing. There have been some troubling signs during the first 50 days. I'm willing to cut him some slack because the mess left by the previous administration is so overwhelming. However, I do not appreciate half-measures. Lobbyist reform is fantastic, except if it doesn't apply to the Obama administration. Ending torture is great, unless you put together a commission to study implementation of alternative interrogation methods.Saying that you ending the enemy combatants designation is fantastic unless you don't change the status of those who were given that designation. It's certainly not enough stuff for me to regret my vote, but it is troubling enough for me to point it out. I believe it would intellectually dishonest for me to ignore the abuses in the Obama administration after being so vocal about the similar actions of the previous administration. As I said in the piece, I do expect it to get better. We are a nation of laws or at least we're supposed to be. Let's at least try and act like we are.Mycue23https://www.blogger.com/profile/07474424588090159340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31964974.post-65670338708606343962009-03-14T11:48:00.000-04:002009-03-14T11:48:00.000-04:00Hey---great having you guys back! Gov. Sanford is ...Hey---great having you guys back! Gov. Sanford is a typical modern-day self centered Republican. He doesn't give a damn about the teachers, students, or people of his state except to use them as vehicles to further his career. As for the Obama administration's stance on the detainees, I am with you 100%, and I only hope this is a work in progress that they will take up next week and correct. To not do so would lend implied justification to the unconstitutional and dangerous precedent the Bush/Cheney regime tried to instill.
