Have You Noticed

Have you noticed how many news commentators and policy pundits are weighing in on what the new U.S. President and his administration have been doing? I even had a pollster call on Obama's second day as President to ask whether I approved of the job he was doing. I looked up the poll results on www.surveyusa.com. I found out there are already people out there who don't approve of the job he's doing. Well, they're probably the same people who approved of the job former President Bush was doing. Somehow, I can't give them any credence, nor should I. Let's face it, if we expect the public to get behind the new President, we are delusional. We just can't be silent. If you agree with Obama, say so. Don't be afraid to say, "Yes, I agree with closing the Guantanamo Bay detention camp." or "Yes, I agree with a woman getting pay equal to a man's pay when they do the same job."

It's evident here in Kansas that the Bush-Cheney dosage of fear of terrorists has worked. Else why all of the fuss about moving some of these terrorists/guerrilla fighters to the Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth. Have you noticed that no one complained about that place before? I'll bet it already houses some guys you wouldn't want out on the streets of our fair cities. None of them have escaped, at least lately as far as I know.
