link to the live hearing yesterday. The site looks better every day. They did a great job - you were right!

It is getting close. It could be that, or he feels he is not entirely sold on the Obama plan doesn't have all the details and can't speak of it enthusiastically. And actually, Hillary and Gates are responsible for making the case for Obama. But, still I always look forward to an appearance from Senator Kerry and I hurried home hoping I would get to see this one. Oh well, maybe this coming weekend or sometime soon.

I'm with JK, I will give Obama the benefit of the doubt and I know JK will be the first one to criticize if he sees this leading in a different direction. IMO, Obama is trying to please to many people and still not going with his gut feeling as he has done with healthcare reform,etc. To me that is what is...
