Obama's First Week

So, what has Obama been up to this week? We all hoped he would move veeeeeery slowly on his progressive agenda... but he obviously is not. Lets see what he has done this week.

He signed an executive order that will close the Guantanamo Bay prison for terror prisoners. So where are these people going to go? He said he does not know yet. The problem is, they are not American citizens so they do not have Constitutional rights in our country and they are not uniformed combatants so they do not have rights from the Geneva Convention. So what do we do these terrorists!?! I for one do not want them being kept in my neighborhood.

Signed an executive order ending tough interrogation methods (psychological torture). This was a sticking point for the Bush administration, we NEED to have the option to use these techniques! Has anyone seen "24" before? In a ticking time bomb situation we have to be able to use whatever methods necessary!

He ended the ban on federal money going to global abortion groups.

He warned people to quit listening to Rush Limbaugh and other conservative talk show hosts... is the (un)fairness doctrine next?

And lastly, the FDA Approved human trials for embryonic stem cell treatments. This was as far as we know not initiated by President Obama, but it is no coincidence that this is happening now rather than during the Bush administration.
