Reps to Ron for not folding to our local brand of groupthink. One additional question I would like to ask is, what is your current perception of Obama's policies and performance? Are there any areas you do not agree with him?
Probably one of the biggest issues I don't agree with is his gun policy. I feel that he will try to reinstate the AWB but without a sunset provision. That is the most realistic possibility in my mind. I find the serialization of ammo idea laughable, because it just seems so unrealistic. However, I don't think he has enough political goodwill to actually get this bill passed because a lot of the members in the House and Congress realize how volatile and unpopular that decision is.
I don't think that he will attempt that any time soon as he many more important decisions to deal with. He is still trying to figure out what he should do with the economy, he'll eventually try to do something about healthcare reform, maybe something about alternative energy and taxes. On top of that he has 2 wars to deal with, I think (hopefully) he has his hands too full to deal with anything else.
I don't like the fact that he twice broke his promise, that all executive orders, proclamations, and all non-emergency legislation will be posted to the official White House website allowing the public to review and comment for five days before the President signs the legislation.
I wish he closed Guantanamo faster and stopped dancing around the issue.
I don't like the way he's handled the bailout for the banks either but my knowledge on this issue is a little fuzzy since the numbers involved are so dizzying.
