Re: Go Figure said by knightmb:For starters [*]Closing Guantanamo bay [*]Stem cell research boost [*]Credit Card consumer protection laws [*]Actually trying to end the war in Iraq, our biggest economy drain currently 1. Closing Guantanamo - You mean an executive order that doesn't have a plan nor funding? His administration has just over 7 months to complete it...But was about the prisoners? Oh, that's right, he wants to be able to hold them "indefinitely and without trial"

WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration is weighing plans to detain some terror suspects on U.S. soil -- indefinitely and without trial -- as part of a plan to retool military commission trials that were conducted for prisoners held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
I thought Obama was all about "The rule of law.." Or is that just cliche now?
2. Stem Cell Research - Embryonic stem cell research, although it may hold cures for disease which is yet to be seen, should be funded by the private sector, not the federal government.
3. Credit Card Consumer Protection Laws - On this point I agree and it is good legislation.
4. Iraq War - He's not trying to end it any faster or more logically that the previous administration..He's using the same mantra with "I'm listening to the Generals on the ground...". He is forcing Iraq's hand a bit by setting a timeline for withdrawl. A Republican administration in 2009 would have gone along with, although not 100%, most of the plan for withdrawl when the time was right. I fear we are leaving a void that cannot be completely filled by the existing Iraqi security forces...If they fill the void just fine, remind me and I'll come back and say they were right about setting a timeline..
If you care, we can go into his utter failures:
•Apology Tour 2009
•Venezuela
•Cuba
•North Korea
•Iran
•GM
•Multi-trillion $ deficits (quadrupling what Bush had done in 8 years in just 4 months)
•Government forcing banks that do not need TARP money to take it.
•Continuing the "illegal wiretapping"
•Lack of promised transparency
The list is so long, it's staggering that you can't do a simple Google search to get it. It's not really worth wasting the time to post up a long list, go Google it (or bing, whatever).
Should I go on or do you need to check with the DailyKOS first so you can come back with more head talking points? LOL :P
