In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, President-elect Barack Obama said his presidency is an opportunity for the U.S. to rebuild its relations with the Muslim world. He is planning to “set the tone with a major speech in a Muslim capital early in his presidency.” Obama also said he would take the oath of office using his middle name Hussein.
The Environmental Protection Agency “abandoned its push to revise two air-pollution rules in ways that environmentalists had long opposed, abruptly dropping measures that the Bush administration had spent years preparing.” The agency had been trying to make it easier to build coal-fired power plants near national parks and alter the “rules that govern when power plants must install antipollution devices.”
76 percent: Share of Americans who believe that financial banks that are receiving bailout funds should not dole out bonuses this year. “Though most Wall Street firms plan to pay employees’ bonuses this year, the most senior executives at the companies will see their bonuses slashed by as much as 70 percent.”
Despite Secret Service screenings, employees of a Maryland cleaning company used by Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff for the last four years have “turned out to be illegal immigrants.” The owner said five of the company’s illegal employees “were part of crews sent to Chertoff’s home and whom ICE told him to fire because they were undocumented.”
One year ago today CIA Director Michael Hayden went before Congress “to answer questions about his agency’s destruction of videotaped interrogations of terrorist suspects” being subjected to the “enhanced techniques” authorized by the Bush administration. Hayden may be asked to stay on as CIA director.
“President-elect Barack Obama is entering the White House with an enormous reservoir of goodwill,” a new Wall Street Journal/NBC poll finds. Seventy-three percent of Americans approve of his handling of the transition, and two-thirds of the public view him favorably. Meanwhile, just 18 percent say they will miss President Bush when he’s gone, and 78 president believe he is not as good as, or definitely worse than, most other presidents.
The Obama transition site is open for your questions. Change.gov launched a new feature yesterday which allows users to submit questions and then vote on the ones they most want answered. Check it out here.
The House voted yesterday 237 to 170 “to approve a $14 billion government rescue of the American automobile industry” that would “provide emergency loans to General Motors and Chrysler.” However the deal is “in jeopardy because of strong Republican opposition in the Senate.”
The Coalition of the Willing is nearing its end. Most of the coalition’s members are quickly leaving Iraq before the UN mandate authorizing their presence comes to an end on December 31. Currently, “fewer than a dozen” of the 49 countries that once made up the coalition remain.
Self-described “little oinker” Rep. Don Young (R-AK) has “stepped down under pressure” as ranking Republican on the House Natural Resources Committee, saying that “he wants to focus on clearing his name in a corruption investigation.” Young reportedly made the move after House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) “told him privately he would oppose him if he sought another two years in the post.”
And finally: The Washington Post’s Mary Ann Akers writes, “Run, don’t walk, to John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign headquarters in Arlington, Va., for an amazing Blowout Sale! Computers, blackberries, televisions, desks, you name it — everything must go.” The McCain campaign is currently having a fire sale, getting rid of all its office equipment at deep discounts. “This is a great opportunity to own a piece of history, finish your Christmas shopping, or simply replace your old laptop,” wrote one campaign staffer pitching the sale.

Gene …and the Portraits by James Saville Row
TODAY’s CONTRIB:
POST-ELECTION PRATTLE
Now that the great eight year Liberal pall has been lifted, I can see the light of wellness and it is, beautiful.
KUDOS, Our esteemed 44th, 1600-Penn_er for running an awesome campaign. May the mansion that our fathers built receive you
joyfully.
KUDOS, US Senator John McCain, for the awesome grace of a statesman, even in defeat. May your contributions to the betterment of your country never be forgotten.
At this stage of the prevailing global economic morass, perhaps a slightly more centrist view of things is necessary to recalibrate. Let us all however, not forget that Centrism obfuscates identity and pits everyone into a single ideological position. Giving way to the degradation of the absolute corruption of power. Akin to the great democracies of present day Russia and China. The iron of Centrism, if required, should only be applied without prejudice and for a short time, then the chaos of Centrism should immediately give way to the reclassification back to the original order of the ideologies that has flourished for 200 or so years.
The old ideas that a political party only caters to certain groups is fast becoming obsolete with the influx of folks like Michael Steele. California’s propositon 208’s fate is rumored to have been defeated by the heavy swing of the black
conservative?! vote.
The major ideologies of Liberalism and Conservatism provide a platform upon which dissenting views and ideas are permitted to exist. This platform transfixes the notion that if we all had the same names, Sapiens would not have enjoyed the continuity of aeons.
The opposing views provide the necessary glue that binds a peoples together. The doctrine of unity would be rendered
irrelevant without them.
I am Liberal-minded and darn proud of it! I also respect that someone else is conservative-minded and darned proud of it as
well. That is the beauty of our system of checks and balances. May it endure forever.
And so ends my pep talk. Now go into the jungle and hunt for food to feed your families. Enjoy your day and any possible
outstanding holiday shopping!

Wow, what a concept.

I am glad to see that Obama is doing this. But, I have always thought he missed a golden opportunity every time he said “I am not a Muslim” he should have ended with “but even if I was, what difference would it make, there’s nothing wrong with being a Muslim”.

Don’t be a hater, Zooey — those execs are entitled to those “bonuses”. Golf courses aren’t cheap. And those off-shore accounts often require large minimum deposits. “Bonus” in the executive world is just another word for “paycheck”. Those guys are having such a rough time these days, what with all the financial news and the worry about their welfare checks getting cashed and all (I mean, the locak Quickey-mart won’t cash a 12B dollar check, you know). Come on… give these poor, downtrodden and misunderstood executives a break. They’re entitled to those checks.

Once again, the Democrats back down to Bush and will probably back down to the Senate Republicans. They need to do a better job of making sure people understand that 1 in 7 US jobs is tied to the auto industry and what a devastating impact the bankruptcy of any of these, let alone all three would have by the time it filtered through all of the suppliers and dealers. Anyone pushing the bankruptcy option is dong so for one reason: to break the unions.
The Democrats need to convince the public why this is necessary and then dare the Republicans to vote against it.
Instead they score cheap political points by piling on the auto makers in political theater hearings and then go to Bush and the Republicans as supplicants.
This should be coming out of TARP funds. The Czar is an idiotic idea. They need to get the auto cmpanies to drop the suits against environmental regulations. Forget the BS about private planes. (How many of the bankers came to D.C. on private planes? Come to think f it, how many of them even had to come to D.C.?) Ultimately, they need to break the auto companies and banks – especially banks – into smaller companies so we never have the “Too Big To Fail” gun held to our heads again.

Unrestricted and unfettered capitalism is not a benefit, and serves only to support greed. It is, in fact, a very very bad thing. The only people that think otherwise are those who profit enormously off of the immoral, and unpatriotic, practices whose ONLY focus is the bottom line, and that only for the company. Those, and the idiots so simple minded that they will believe whatever they are told as long as the political party they have chosen to subjugate themselves to tells them to think so.
Stop allowing American companies to outsource American jobs purely for the sake of profit margins.

Doubtful. The hot air which fills their “brains” is both heavier and more pressurized than the atmospheric air on the outside. What I am surprised about is that their heads have not exploded. Perhaps their “careers” offer them some release of the pressure to maintain sufficient equilibrium. Their “careers” are simply for medicinal purposes.

I hope the Democrats have finally grown a spine and will make the Republicans actually filibuster the bill. Then every day call a press conference and talk about what will happen if the auto industry fails, how many people will be out of a job and how much further it will hurt our economy. Name names. Make sure everyone knows exactly who has joined a filibuster attempt.
Personally, I don’t think that they will have the numbers to pull off a filibuster. There are too many Senators who are up for re-election in 2010 and they are not going to want the failure of the auto industry to be on their record.

we will have to see. I fear that there will be no strong and serious action unless these politicians are concerned about accountability. I think that has been the leading cause in our innefective leadership in congress (and elsewhere in government). They have only a slight fear of losing elections (because even a lost election is nowhere near the end of a political carreer). They NEED to be concerend that the public will hold them accountable for doing their jobs, and doing them well. The consequennces of their failure to do so SHOULD be that they will no longer BE public servants, and will become a part of the public. I don’t know. My coffee buzz is wearing off.

That’s not quite accurate – the Haaretz article stated that a nuclear attack on Israel by Tehran would result in a nuclear response against Iran. Since Iran does not currently have nuclear capability and very likely won’t for the forseeable future now that oil is at $50/barrel, it’s really an empty gesture.
Besides, we all know that Israel is perfectly capable of its own nuclear response against Iran – this leakfest is just a little attempt to catapult the propaganda that Israel is a non-nuclear state.
