Halt Prosecutions at Gunatanamo


In the first hours of his presidency, President Obama directed an immediate halt to the Bush administration’s military commissions system for prosecuting detainees at the detention center at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.
...
Later this week, the new administration is expected to issue an executive order that is to start what could be a long process of closing the detention camp, where about 245 detainees remain.


Senior Staff Pay Freeze


President Obama introduced his first executive orders today. In addition to a senior staff pay freeze, he imposed tough new restrictions on lobbying within his administration. The new rules are aimed at stopping the "revolving door" of lobbyists into and out of the administration.


The change has begun.

Of course he will. Republicans have always been fantastic at creating a great show for the public. I expect 8 more years of Clinton-like scandal (aka, crap that could have waited until he was out of the presidency).

Democrats can't impeach an administration that admits torture, indefinite detainment, illegal wiretapping. If I can give any credit to Republicans, it is that they can certainly create a circus when they want to.

So, yay! Eight more years of BS scandal and baseless accusations!
