			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sure Obama might make Iraq and the economy worse &#8212; assuming it&#8217;s even possible &#8212; but there are plenty of reasons why a geek should be optimistic about his presidency.</p>
<ol>
<li>Joe Biden won&#8217;t be able to <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-10024163-38.html?tag=newsLeadStoriesArea.0">vote for the DMCA again</a> &#8212; unless there&#8217;s a tie in the Senate.</li>
<li>There could be presidential addresses via <a href="http://twitter.com/bjdraw">Twitter</a>.</li>
<li>We may not ever have to fill out another form at a doctor&#8217;s office.</li>
<li>He wants a playoff system in College Football, like any football geek would.</li>
<li>Our pipes should stay free thanks to his support for Net Neutrality.</li>
<li>Our kids might be saved thanks to Stem Cell research.</li>
<li>The broadband speeds should increase thanks to his communications infrastructure plans.</li>
<li>His plan to reform the patent system could lead to more innovation.</li>
<li>He may save our life &#8212; or the life of a loved one &#8212; by modernizing the Public Safety Network.</li>
<li>He&#8217;s sure to use the web to run the country, the way he did for his campaign.</li>
</ol>
<p>So if my new president will stick to this and at the same time leave my guns alone, leave my money in my pocket &#8212; yeah I know, fat chance &#8212; then we&#8217;ll get along just fine.</p>

<p>Classic O&#8217;reilly, he just said this on his radio show and I couldn&#8217;t agree more. Whoever thinks he is right wing has never watched or heard him.  Besides, who couldn&#8217;t like a guy who <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=2tJjNVVwRCY">he can relate to</a>?</p>
