President  Barack Obama completed his first week, by dismantling many of President George Bush Policies that he put in place. He Culminated the week with a 240-188 victory in the House in favor of the Economic Stimulus package, which paved the way for Senate debate.  This is a crucial bill that will determine the direction that we take in 2009 and beyond More

There is much applause from Senate colleagues concerning the with and decisive action that President Obama took in naming the two special envoy.  It finally puts the focus on the middle East and Pakistan and the Afghanistan regions that has quite frankly, been lacking in both regions. The Gitmo Issue continues to be a significant issues. All prisoners there will be reviewed their status and released in their home country. The 60 that have been picked for prosecution will be prosecuted in the United States.

Many believe that the evidence  has been tainted because of how the Bush administration handled their detention.  This means that a new evidence tree must be built to retry the individuals.  This strategy was not used at all doing the Bush administration.  It would in effect, not be a problem today if  the Bush administration did not approach the detainment in an incorrect way.

The tone and strategy was completely different in that President Obama actually expressed humanitarian relief to the Palestinian people.  He also  expressed unwavering support for Israel.  This is  a definite break from approaches used in this region by previous Presidents.

President Elect Barack Obama will use the same bible that President Abraham Lincoln used for his inauguration.  Obama, an ardent student of history and particularlyof the life President Lincoln,  is also retracing the steps that Lincoln used to  travel  to his inauguration by rail.  This is a nice touch and sheds light on the history  of the Lincoln era, when he led the country through a period of immense turmoil while preserving the union during the War Between The States (Civil War). It was during this period that Lincoln made the decision to free the slaves.  What are your feeling about Obama’s attention to history?
