Do you share that sentiment or are you mocking those who do?
I'm super cereal.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

It's hard to say. His recent predecessor lowered the bar so much that almost anyone following him would look smart and competent.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

I like the fact that he is not an idiot, similar to what was mentioned before. Here are some specifics that I don't like:
- Took too long getting us out of Iraq and Afghanistan.
- Continued use of drones is deplorable.
- I have no confidence that we aren't still torturing people.
- He has yet to honor his promise of transparency.
- ACA is perhaps a start and is 'something', but it does nothing to actually reduce healthcare costs.
- Pissed away a great opportunity to quickly change international relations. Depsite not openly using the word 'exceptionalism', his administration continues to shrug off concerns where other nations are held to account. Think drones.
- Continues corporate welfare.
- The Dodd-Frank Act is to financial reform what the TSA is to airport security.
- Instead of working with Congress to repeal portions of the Patriot Act early in his first term, his administration is set on further expanding surveillance. The defiance and arrogance with which they dismiss criticism is disheartening.
I guess that's enough.

Is that you in your avatar Cato? It certainly matches your personality. :-)
