Finally--something I can support Obama on!
The past few weeks have been among the most politically depressing of my life. From the Mexico City Policy to closing Guantanomo, from SCHIP to Unions, I have opposed everything Obama has actually done while in office. Well, today I heard that the White House officially came out in opposition to restoring the Fairness Doctrine. Good for them! Finally, something positive from that quickly crumbling house. A pillar still stands in some back room corner! Unfortunately, if Obama gives Pelosi and Reid as much control over future legislation as he did on this stimulus bill then the resurrection of the Fairness Doctrine may still be a possibility. Hopefully not, the freedoms contained in that little document called the Bill of Rights are just as important today as they were by those apparently senile, out of touch old men over 200 years ago. I won't go into what the Fairness Doctrine actually is, but I'm sure a quick Google search will yield positive results if you're curious. In the meantime, at least it can't be said of me that I fight against EVERYTHING the President stands for politically.
