I'm from an EU country so i simply can't understand a lot of this in th USA, but the way i see it, Dennis Kucinich is the REAL CHANGE, not Obama! Obama is just another wall street puppet!
"Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), who was the sponsor of an amendment that would have allowed individual states to create a single-payer system - essentially a Medicare-for-all bill - voted against the legislation. Kucinich's amendment was stripped from the House bill at the request of the Obama administration when it wasunveiled more than a week ago.
"Instead of working toward the elimination of for-profit insurance, HR 3962 would put the government in the role of accelerating the privatization of health care," Kucinich said in a statement explaining why he voted against the bill. "In HR 3962, the government is requiring at least 21 million Americans to buy private health insurance from the very industry that causes costs to be so high, which will result in at least $70 billion in new annual revenue, much of which is coming from taxpayers. This inevitably will lead to even more costs, more subsidies, and higher profits for insurance companies - a bailout under a blue cross." http://www.truthout.org/1108091

we are talking about GOVERNMENT, so there's some points that mus be adressed:
1.w3c accessibility i dont't know where and how adobe flash or the other cancer,ms-novell-silverlight-moonlight coud do that.
of course this may be very problematic, at least here in Portugal since the portuguese government is in bed with microsoft, and already used ms-silverlight for at least one case.
2.it's the GOVERNMENT, so, it may be utopic, but i hope they have more real engineers and less point and click boys and girls.
of course once again, here in Portugal, this could be difficult since they're even don't adress security issues like the portuguese government network been spied by the Ghostnet, they rather appeal to some cibersecurity stupid law than correct this severe problems.

is that a fact?i think not.
" Below are excerpts from a court case proving the Federal Reserve system's status. As you will see, the court ruled that the Federal Reserve Banks are "independent, privately owned and locally controlled corporations", and there is not sufficient "federal government control over 'detailed physical performance' and 'day to day operation'" of the Federal Reserve Bank for it to be considered a federal agency:
Lewis v. United States, 680 F.2d 1239 (1982)
John L. Lewis, Plaintiff/Appellant,
v.
United States of America, Defendant/Appellee.
No. 80-5905
United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
Submitted March 2, 1982.
Decided April 19, 1982.
As Amended June 24, 1982.
Plaintiff, who was injured by vehicle owned and operated by a federal reserve bank, brought action alleging jurisdiction under the Federal Tort Claims Act. The United States District Court for the Central District of California, David W. Williams, J., dismissed holding that federal reserve bank was not a federal agency within meaning of Act and that the court therefore lacked subject-matter jurisdiction. Appeal was taken. The Court of Appeals, Poole, Circuit Judge, held that federal reserve banks are not federal instrumentalities for purposes of the Act, but are independent, privately owned and locally controlled corporations.

With this kind of technology that the new browsers bring to the arena, adobe is getting scared!

the real problem is the windows version they're using.
was it ms-vista or even ms-vista7, i really don't think that would be all this fuss.
