[Peace-discuss] Obama hasn't done anything yet, right?

[C. G. Estabrook]

Or is it "Obama hasn't done anything right, yet"? Of course not -- there must be 
something -- but look what he has done:


--pushed for what appears to be the largest tax cuts in American history in 
order to placate the right. He is also only the second president in American 
history to institute tax cuts during a war. George W. Bush was the other one.

--named the most conservative cabinet of any Democratic president of modern times.

--plans to expand the war in Afghanistan. And in spite of what he said he 
intends to maintain the occupation of Iraq.

--has come out in support of the right wing approach to public education.

--is expanding Bush's so-called faith based programs.

--refuses to end renditions.

--his Attorney General plans to continue secret searches of library and 
bookstore data files.

--will not prosecute Bush administration members for war crimes.

--refuses to object to Karl Rove's claim of executive privilege in refusing to 
cooperate with a congressional investigation.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this list is complete.  --CGE
