Asking questions...

What's the council on foreign relations? what is AFRICOM and why isn't anyone talking about it? Why are there so many military installments of the US around the world? maybe we're in such a financial state because of so much military spending?
has obama spoken about any of the things on his agenda? what are those things? can he put dates on any of these key items? can we ask him questions about stuff? is he as accessible as his campaign made him to be?

what questions do you have?

Go 'Bama, but wtf happened to Prop 8?

Obama got elected! Terrific, great job getting the vote out. But what happened at the booths guys? i don't think everyone took a good look at the voting booth, because we slept on a few important propositions like Prop 8, a gay marriage ban that won 52 percent of votes yesterday in California and now threatens to nullify some 18,000 same-sex marriages. Another Prop that went the wrong way was Prop 5 (which would've allocated 460 million a year towards rehabilitation of non-violent drug offenders, freeing up prison resources, creating jobs, and giving people a chance to find their way out of a bad situation) voted no by 59.8%.
