At Least The Peoples Weekly World Is Happy

It seems the Peoples Weekly World is happy with Obama:

President Obama has hit the ground running. Here’s a breath-taking inventory so far: a pledge to shutter Guantanamo; ending torture at secret military prisons; passage of a strong economic recovery bill; a progressive budget; a push for a new direction for the economy that breaks with the discredited ultra-right “trickle-down” theory; reversal of anti-labor policies; pro-labor executive orders; revitalization of OSHA and other regulatory bodies; release of memos exposing high crimes of top Bush officials; restoration of science as a guide to policy; steps on climate change and clean energy; backing, rather than denigrating, the UN; improving relations with Cuba; initiatives for Israeli-Palestinian peace; call for worldwide elimination of nuclear weapons; resetting our relationships with Russia; reexamining the insanity of “missile defense” and reigning in NATO expansionists; diplomatic overtures to Iran; and committing to withdrawal from Iraq.

At least average Americans are figuring out what Obama is really about…
