Kimba, I will have to read Open up Government later would like to make a comment on your picture. You know... I really think they like each other. Not many long term couples can pull off those smiles if faking .
Follow up: A little to much Obama will do this and and that but an excellent read. I like how he emphasis bringing our children to the next level. Sadly many of the things proposed should of been implemented years ago. Interesting also how the net-neutrality debate has laid dormant.
Thanks Kimba, it took a while but well worth it. :-)
