http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090107/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama Obama names special watchdog for federal spending Not a MJ-specific article, but the premise of eliminating wasteful spending cuts to the core. Will he apply this common-sense approach to the failed war on drugs? Will his new "Waste Watchdog" put 2 & 2 together? Will taxpayers stop being jailed on Obama's watch? Don't ever let an opportunity to hold him to his word escape us! The drug war is wasteful spending. Time to end it. Still awaiting his appointee for "Drug Czar."
agreed. What I'm happy about is how LONG it taking to appoint a drug czar. Its oubvious that this office is a dead last priority for him... Has he appointed a new DEA head?
Haven't seen anything on DEA either. Could be good or bad if it is his "lowest priority." Hopefully it means he is giving it due diligence and not preparing to do the same old thing. Hopefully fellow Minnesotan Jim Ramstad is out of the running. Another former drug user who wants us all to do as he says, not as he did. Seems to be a trend.
