Obama's Briefing Book

Quote:

Your laugh of the day: the Citizens Briefing Book

snip

The White House attempted to arrange these “ideas” into categories, but some of the assignments seem rather weak, while a catch-all category has its own revealing moments. For instance, under Service, the White House placed “Create an on-line E-library,” which might have been better suited for Technology. “Expand small business innovation programs” should have gone into the Economy category, which also probably should have gotten “A New Decentralized Energy Grid,” instead of Homeland Security — or at least that should have been in the Energy & Environment section.

The biggest vote-getter got stuck in the “Additional Issues” section, which as “Ending Marijuana Prohibition” with over 92,000 votes. A call to revoke Scientology’s tax-exempt status could have gone with the aforementioned tax-reform issue in the “Economy” category, but it looks like the White House was a little too embarrassed by it — despite it getting over 52,000 votes. But that’s no less embarrassing than the weird “word clouds” that head each section.

Regarding Body Thetans, were you out ethics? Regarding Body Thetans, what have you done? Regarding Body Thetans, what happened?

JMac85 Member	Re: Obama's Briefing Book I love reading the comment section to conservative blogs like that. A lot of them think that project was started by Obama himself, and either reflects how he's a big failure, or is some conspiracy to create a list of people's names.

Re: Obama's Briefing Book

Fucking A, I wondered what happened to this. So I guess it really did go to Obama... but will he even read it? That remains to be seen. I certainly hope he does and that he looks into scientology to find out just why so many people in this country are upset and concerned about their special tax exemption.

Silent retartet Location: Randers	Re: Obama's Briefing Book At least his administration is forced to look at this now, and I wouldn't be surprised if he had a look at the "book" himself. This is a fickle matter tho, and as a politician he's probably afraid to stir any trouble he can avoid, but at least he, and his administration, will have this knowlegde in the back of their heads. O HAI TOM GRUISE! ;D

Embarrassed? They should be! Take care of it and it won't be an issue in the future :)

Washington Post:Obama's citizen's briefing

The Washington Post mentions Obama's citizen's briefing survey

Quote:

In contrast, a large number of participants in the "citizen's briefing" survey called for an end to the tax-exempt status for the Church of Scientology, perhaps best known as the unconventional religion of choice for Tom Cruise, John Travolta and other Hollywood actors. "It is my belief, and the belief of thousands of other Americans, that the Church of Scientology is a dangerous, for-profit organization," wrote someone dubbed "azure."

Anonymous We Are Legion	Re: Obama's Briefing Book It was an Obama project. Washington post column criticises the administration for just promoting the issues that they already agreed with. It also criticises the validity of online polls, to which I can only say: mARBLECAKE ALSO THE GAME What Do Americans Want? Legal Pot, White House Online Survey Reports \| 44 \| washingtonpost.com

Clearly, we need to find out when and where they do their scientific polling and then the results WILL align. Even if the line is straight DOWN the page.
