I am, as I've mentioned hoping just that little bit that positive things come out of this presidency. SO far harsh words are well received as it's already indicative of different mindset.
I remain skeptical though, after all at the end of the day Obama is still a politician.
I'm not sure of how you arrived at this conclusion of my thoughts from my post. I was merely making a statement to the three members I mentioned, about my feelings on bigotry.

Broadband funding in stimulus plan sparks debate
By JOELLE TESSLER (AP Technology Writer)

WASHINGTON - Among the economic stimulus proposals moving through Congress is one that fulfills an old dream of broadband boosters. It would offer substantial funding for high-speed Internet networks in corners of the country that still rely on dial-up connections or have only one broadband option.
The hope is that construction of these networks will create jobs, and that better access to broadband will spur all sorts of new economic activity. Yet not everyone agrees that broadband funding belongs in a stimulus plan.
Some critics of the idea wonder how many people will actually sign up for the new networks once they are built. Others question how many jobs broadband investments will really create. Even supporters debate whether Congress is going about funding broadband expansion the right way.
Recent surveys by the Pew Internet & American Life Project have found that 57 percent of Americans subscribe to broadband at home, while 9 percent rely on dial-up service. Others go online elsewhere - but 25 percent simply don't use the Internet at all.
Those holdouts are the hardest to reach. They include many poor and elderly people, as well as residents of rural areas that the big broadband providers have abandoned as too costly to serve - an issue that Congress is trying to address.
The broadband proposals are still taking shape as Congress debates the broader stimulus plan. But the bill that ultimately emerges is likely to contain $6 billion to $9 billion to help fund landline and wireless broadband networks in unserved and underserved areas. It also is likely to give tax incentives to encourage companies to invest in new or faster broadband networks.
Government is getting too sticky.
Obama will help the US I can see it. It took Bush family 16 years to mess it up, so it will take longer than that to fix it.
It will damn sure take longer than a few weeks! Can't believe all the 'sky is falling' crowd after only a few weeks in office. If they'd paid that much attention to the previous white house occupant maybe we wouldn't be in this predicament...

BTW-Senior Bush was only in office for 4 years.
Besides destroying all life on Mars a Million years ago...what exactly
has Bush done to deserve all the hatered ???
The Iraqi war? Well, I reserve the right to not reach a final conclusion based on the
lack of information, fact that I am not there personally.
You can't trust the media and I've talked
to quite a few soldiers who are there and all say:1-Do NOT believe the media
BS and they are doing great work there. I dunno...History will be the judge
it really wont be known for decades. I remember Regan was reemed
constantly as President, now he is hailed for putting an end to the cold war
and bringing Communist Russia to her knees without firing a shot.
911? Seems like a lot of finger pointing goes in the direction of Mr. Clinton's
prior 8 years and his complete lack of doing anything on the terror front.
How many times did he let Bin Laden go ??? Hind site is easy though...
Oh that's right though...he's a Democrat so nothing is technically his fault.
The Economy?...Oh yeah, that's also pointed in the direction of Freddie and
Fanny both of which were pressured by the Clinton administration to give
loans to people who could not pay...but again, see Democrat disclaimer above.
Gas Prices? I heard all kinds of Democrats around work throwing his name out
there...didn't think Bush set oil prices
Course now I guess he gets thecredit for them going to $1.60 a gallon
Hurricane Katrina? He does not get a pass from me on that one. Regardless
of the fact that the Democratic Mayor (who is a fool) and the Governer (who
is inept) dropped the ball, The President is the leader. If it were me, I would
have pulled secret service staff, secretaries, whoever and been circling in
marine one waiting for the storm to pass and hit the ground like Giuliani did
after 911...right now.

That's because the United States has allowed corporations to buy into the prison system and lobby for stiffer
penalties to crimes to keep their prisons full. You didn't know??? It's the new corporate owned slave trade.
They rake in Govt contracts for cheap labor,
The United States has 1/4 the population of China, but still has way more people in prison then China, and everyone else.
Ignore the "black" part
and realize it's EVERYONE regardless of race. America’s New Slavery: Black Men in Prison
Ironically enough, the Bush legacy has intimate ties with the elite Bin Laden Saudi
family and George W Bush has personal connections with Osama Bin Ladens' brother
Salem Bin Laden before he became the President.
Total coincidence ???
How about the fact that Bush's old business partner Salem Bin Laden died in Texas flying into
a bunch of power lines......Irony?? 6 years later who becomes Governor of Texas?? GWB.
Oh yeah.....it's all just coincidental.....keep your head in the sand....

Do those numbers include people also serving in RTL (Reeducation Through Labor) camps? Or are they just numbers on prison.
China has a much different system in place for dealing with those that break laws. Drug offenders, prostitution, theft etc go to RTL camps. Serious crimes such as murder, rape, etc go to prison. At least this is my understanding of their system. Neither are pleasant from what I have read. Prisoners are tortured, there is over crowding, prisoners are denied medical care, living conditions are unsanitary, the list goes on. They make our prisons look like plush country clubs.
Their legal system is also much different than ours. There are many in China that would love to have due process of the law. They also allow punishments that the liberals would never allow here.
