"Improve Information Sharing and Analysis: Improve our intelligence system by creating a senior position to coordinate domestic intelligence gathering, establishing a grant program to support thousands more state and local level intelligence analysts, and increasing our capacity to share intelligence across all levels of government."

Much of the agenda from the change.gov site is now up on the Whitehouse.gov site. Agendas include: Gun bans, broader "hate"/thought crime agendas (defined as potentially criminalizing widely held religious and political thought), Federal recognition of gay "civil unions" and gays in the military, etc. This post focuses, in particular, on the agenda to dramatically expand domestic intelligence operations, and to create, if not a single agency (NKVD-like), then a "senior" intelligence coordinator of (integrated) domestic intelligence gathering operations. Congress funded a RAND study recently to lay out the "options" for building a Domestic Intelligence Agency. See additional links.

Address Gun Violence in Cities: Obama and Biden would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent.

Isn't it fascinating that the devout anti-Bush crowd which supported Obama on this very web site were also largely of the vocal opinion that there was no such thing as Al Qaida, 9/11 was somehow a setup, and even Osama bin Laden was a false flag... and here we have the man they helped put into the office issuing a flat out contniuance of the Bush administration's declaration of war against Al Qaida... yet they are nowhere to be seen to question his position like they questioned Bush on a daily basis. Either we have hypocrites amongst us, or someone failed to give Obama the memo that verifies the idea that the whole thing was a manufactured ruse. Either way, It's certainly entertaining to witness.
