Today, the Obama administration ended the Bush administration policy of using the term "Enemy Combatant" to describe Gitmo Detainees.
Apparently, nothing else will change, just what we call the Gitmo Detainees. As the Center for Constitutional Rights put it, "This is really a case of old wine in new bottles." Which is technically correct, I guess. Still, I'm sure this was a really tough decision for Obama to make and I think it proves that he can make hard choices.
Yeah, now that we have a stimulus package that fixed our economy, they must be pretty bored. So, I guess they've decided to start tackling the other really hard issues of the day. Wait, you're saying it didn't fix our economy? Well, surely they have a plan in place to help things get better which is why they can focus on changing how they refer to Gitmo Detainees. Right? Well if the election taught us anything, we can "hope" that they have a plan in place to "change" things. And sometimes, all you need is hope.
Good work Obama administration. Just take these things 1 at a time. If you keep tackling these really big problems like you did today, eventually you'll get to the smaller, easier issues, such as the failing social security system, welfare reform and ending our dependence on foreign oil.

Jake, I just don't see how you don't trust them to really fix things. Didn't you hear? Pelosi says she's we just need another stimulus package to really make it happen.

Ignore my obvious typos there. I was under duress just thinking about her next moves. Gah.
See, I knew they had a plan! Thanks for confirming though.
:-P
All kidding aside...isn't it funny what makes the news? We have a genuine financial crisis going on, and our President is worried about how we are referring to our enemies. PC has gone too far.
