White House: Iran Nuke Program Merely “Troubling”
More specifically, the new WhiteHouse.gov’s agenda list says that Iran’s pursuit of a nuclear weapon is “troubling”. Not “unacceptable” but “troubling”.

21. January 2009
The One made history more than once yesterday, as he also became the first president in 57 years to blow-off The American Legion’s Salute To Heroes Inaugural Ball that honors recipients of the Medal of Honor.

Obama Changes Bush Jacket Rule
21. January 2009
President Bush, like President Reagan, always maintained such a respect for the Oval Office that he never went in without his jacket. And it wasn’t an option in the Bush Administration as to whether you wore one while there; it was a rule that one was required. Under Barack Obama, however, that rule has changed. [...]

Kenyans: Obama Will Get Us Food, Jobs, and Schools
20. January 2009
Before you laugh at them, keep in mind that we had our own citizens talking about how he’d pay their mortgage and gas bills.

Reid: Lobbyists Will Be Welcome in Congress and the White House
20. January 2009
You see, they’re people, too. Except, of course, when Barack Obama & Co. is running against them as if they’re a Republican institution that needs to be rooted out to fix Washington. Then attacking someone’s mother or father is just okey dokey. In his historic speech Tuesday morning, President Barack Obama said the era of [...]

20. January 2009
Like I posted earlier, don’t think for a second that Obama didn’t set the tone for his supporters booing George Bush even as he was departing office.
