Kudos to President Obama.
Edited on Thu Jan-22-09 10:32 PM by leftofthedial
His first two days have been ass-kicking.

We could quibble about some of the details or possible loopholes in his changes, but even so, he has really impressed me.

I also was simply flabbergasted by Secretary Clinton's reception at State. What a testimonial to the hunger for a return to sane, competent, ethical governance.

I didn't think it possible, but I'm discovering that the last eight years were even worse than I realized. I guess there is something to the concept of outrage fatigue. Glad to see the Obama Administration taking clear, decisive, honorable steps to restore dignity to our government.

2. Yes they were that bad
It's post traumatic. Reading "President Obama orders Guantanamo closed" after being on DU in despair for years is so surreal and amazing. LBN is amazing. From horror to sanity in a couple days.

country will know that the last eight years were even worse than they realized.
