a leader to do something right
I got all choked up (again) this morning on the Metro into work, reading a headline on the free newspaper that someone else was holding about Obama's intent to close Gitmo.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

I just want to trust a leader to do something right. And I think he's the guy.
I'm not entirely happy with everything Obama wants to do, but I've got a good feeling that he's going to run a very competent administration.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah. I can deal with people I disagree with, when I believe that they have a thoughtful position that they really believe.

I feel confident that he's not going to brand people who disagree with his administration traitors, which is sort of nice.

I'm finding myself weirdly fascinated by the Obamas. It's like I have a crush on the whole damn family.

I used to believe this of myself, until I met John Yoo. He's quite thoughtful, and not a raging neocon. He's even got a great sense of humor. But I can't deal with him because of his positions.

That Whistlestop photo from Downingtown PA: that is right near where my father grew up.
And it's the town where my uncle worked for most of his adult life (for Lukens Steel.)

Me too. It's weird.

After seeing John Yoo's interviews in Taxi to the Darkside, I'd be hard pressed to not throttle him if I ever met him in person.
