Video Blogging
I share videos with people online constantly. I got tired of sharing links with people individually, so I decided to start using this blog as my "Video of the Day" feed. I was a little disappointed that other people have taken the "videooftheday" and "dailyvideo" subdomains at blogspot.com, so I am somewhat sheepishly adding videos to my otherwise generic blog. Starting today.

10 Reasons Why Things Won't Change
Before anyone gets bent out of shape by what I am about to say, please note the following:
- I am proud to be a tax paying, patriotic American citizen.
- I am extremely pleased with the fact that America has elected its first African-American President, a long overdue historical precedent.
- I am able to adequately distinguish between informed dissent and blatant, blind racism.
1) President-elect Obama himself tempers our expectations for drastic changes. - LINK
2) "Bin Laden" is still out there and doesn't care that we are asking for change. LINK
3) Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, appointed by George W. Bush, will remain the Defense Secretary for at least one year. - LINK
4) President-elect Obama has appointed Tim Geithner as Secretary of the Treasury. For those of you who don't know, he's the current CEO of the New York Federal Reserve Bank. - LINK
5) Obama is still slinging the same rhetoric about the War on Terror - LINK
6) With regards to the USA Patriot Act, it's important to note that he voted to both approve AND extend it. - LINK
7) Iran is a threat to all of us - LINK
8) Guantanamo isn't closing anytime soon. - LINK
9) A Civilian National Security Force? Sound kinda fascist to me! - LINK
10) Oh, how could I forget? Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton. The position of Secretary of State is perhaps the most important role regarding America's representation around the world. - LINK
