Well, it's the day quite a bit of us have been waiting for. The day when the administration is admitting it has faults and is taking actual steps toward fixing them. Whether this is a good thing or not we'll just have to wait and see. Perhaps the administration is getting desperate so they're forcing people out of spots?
