Obama's First Week
President Obama has had a pretty good first week. I agree with most of what he has done so far. He has started to reverse the recent trend of more secretive and unaccountable government to one that doesn't hide behind the false veil of "national security" and Executive privilege.
The most glaring exception to Obama's one-week record is the stimulus bill which will affect the economy very little (at least positively). CNN erroneously reported the vote was on party lines. While true no Republicans voted for it, many Democrats voted no as well. The Senate has been more inclined to vote for the recent "bailout" bills than the House so I expect the bill to pass easily.

Yeah, Obama's off to a great start - an admitted tax cheat as Treasury secretary. The same guy, who as head of the NY Federal Reserve, was supposed to oversee Wall Street and presided over its meltdown instead. Also, willing to extend a hand to terrorists in Iran, but says "Don't listen to Rush Limbaugh". And now pushing through a 600+ page bill, riddled with pork projects. Socialism, here we come.
