Holding Barack Accountable

The elections are long gone. The excitement from it was quickly subdued (mainly thanks to the big Wall Street mess).

Santa is having to buy a lot of over-priced coal this year.

Obama is making his selections for his cabinet. Many voters are blindly agreeing with his decisions, and on the other end of the spectrum there are already some heavy critics.

Me? I am right smack in the middle, unsure of what the future will actually bring.

I want to believe Barack is making the right choices already, but I also want to make sure he's held accountable for everything he promised. That is to say, I don't believe he will fix everything in his first term (hopefully a second term will see some progress).

The Phoenix has begun a great little project called "Take Back Barack", a blog written by Jeff Inglis.

Here's the rundown straight from the site:

"So, what can you do? And what's this blog all about?

First, check out our story - "Take Back Barack" is its name. Also, see the stuff I've tagged as related in some way or other, using Google Reader. (The link is also an RSS feed, if you want to get updates on the stuff I tag in the future.) Then, post comments here on this blog, saying what you want Barack to do, and what you think of his choices so far."

Please check it out!

P.S. I designed the Header for the Blog!!
