The Hackberry

KTLA ran a story about President Obama's frequent use of technology - more than any other previous president but we all know that. What's interesting is that there have been hackers on the prowl, hungry to cause some funny business or perhaps something worse. According to the story, the president's Blackberry is vulnerable to hackers but is a Chief Information Officer and/or Chief Technology Officer really necessary? How concerned should Obama and Americans be about hackers?




Family Guy?! O.o

alright...



Embryonic Stem Cell Research

CBS reported on President Obama's executive order that lifts the federal ban on embryonic stem cell research, reversing restrictions originally implemented under Bush. Obama speaks with such vigor - absolutely confident and optimistic that embryonic stem cell research can treat or cure diabetes and paralysis. Opposition has been met with anti-abortion activists because they feel it is "unethical, unworkable, and unreliable" to destroy human embryos for medical research. So is Obama making the right decision? How do you feel about embryonic stem cell research?






Obama's First 50 Days



- stimilus package
- higher education
- greenhouse gas emissions
- interrogation policies
- embryonic stem cell research
- the war in Iraq
- children's health insurance
- renewed diplomatic activity

But ABC says that some critics feel that Obama is trying to do too much. Is there such thing as trying to do too much? What do crtics want from him?
