Subject: RE: BS: The Real Obama
1.    His preoccupation with military actions in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

We need to get Bin Laden and deny Al Qaeda a safe haven.

2.    His continuation of "faith-based initiatives".

I don't think that this is a big deal either ideologically or in monetary terms. He says that his program participants will not be allowed to to use the money to preach or discriminate in hiring. So his program would be little change from they way it was before Bush.

3.    He has also caved in on the Telecoms.

That was disappointing to me as well. Ultimately it was the Bush administration's fault that the Telecoms were being sued. Hopefully, Obama, once elected will pursue the matter where it should be pursued, through the Justice Department.
