Going forward, Obama said, "any time the American people want to know something that I or a former president wants to withhold, we will have to consult with the attorney general and the White House counsel, whose business it is to ensure compliance with the rule of law. Information will not be withheld just because I say so. It will be ... withheld because a separate authority believes my request is well grounded in the Constitution."

I've become so jaded over the last decade that I'm having a hard time actually believing this stuff is really happening.

From this article:

Mr. Obama said that yesterday at his inauguration that he was "inspired by the sight of Americans as far as the eye could see. They were there because they believe this is a moment of great change in America, a time for reinvigorating our democracy and remaking our country. They've entrusted all of us with a great responsibility. And so today I'd like to talk with you about our responsibility to keep that trust."

Aw, jeez, why did I read the comments on that first one? Are they STILL on about the birth certificate bullshit? For crying out loud, do those people seriously think that the FBI wouldn't have figured it out by now if Obama weren't born here? Honestly, yo.

*sigh*

I think I need to go stare at that picture of Rahm and Barack in the Oval Office again. I like it, it makes me happy.
