So, Obama has been in office for 4 days now and he has been signing exceutive orders that are reversing Bush policy, a normal thing to do in office when the power changes to a different party. I respect Obama as he is the President of the United States however, so far I DO NOT agree with ANY of his policies.
1) Closing Gitmo. If you have not heard by now, Obama has signed approval for the closure of Gitmo. However, the prisoners that are detained in Gitmo are the ones that need to be there the most. From what i can tell he hasn't even thought about where he is going to put the prisoners when Gitmo closes. Is he just going to let them go home? I think the choice to close Gitmo was a little premature and without analysis.
2) Digital TV conversion. Obama and his administration desire to push the DTV transition back to June 12. They feel that it is unfair that many Americans have not received their $40 coupon to pay for the digital converter box. While it is unfortunate that these americans had to pay for their converter box out of their own pocket, however, this DTV transition has been in the works for OVER 1 YEAR!!!!!! This is the dumbest idea next to his Economic un-Stimulus package. KEEP THE FEBRUARY 17 TRANSITION!
3) Econiomic Stimulus? I think not. So, let me get this right, Obama want to give $500 to individuals and $1000 to couples to 95% of americans. In addition he wants to give the $1000 to people who don't pay ANY taxes. Last time i chekced, that is Welfare! All he his doing is giving money to those who don't pay any taxes. Sounds like re-distribution of wealth to me.
4) Gag Rule. Reportedly, Obama is going to reverse the abortion "gag" order. For those not familiar with it, this will end the ban on federal funds for international groups that promote or perform abortions. I'm Pro-Life, nuff said.
I am done for now.
