Since President Obama has taken office, he has gotten rid of President Bush's policy of raiding medical marijuana clinics. The U.S. Justice Dept., at the direction of the Obama Administration, last month announced that it would no longer direct federal investigative resources to pursue criminal charges against medical marijuana clinics, providing they are operating lawfully. The policy represents a major shift in tactics from the Bush Administration, which had federal agents raiding medical marijuana distributors on the basis of violating federal statutes (federal law outlaws marijuana possession under the Controlled Substances Act)—even if the operators were in compliance with state laws.
Is this a step closer to legalizing marijuana?

Broadband Stimulus to come sooner than later
I found this article on this site.
It is about how Obama is trying to push through over 7 billion dollars of funding earlier then what the time table set. This is because unemployment is reaching 10.2 percent. According to NTIA officials, most of the money will go to expanding middle mile capacity in underserved and unserved areas around the country; another chunk will go to funding computer centers, and a last, smaller pile of cash will encourage sustainable adoption of broadband service.
