I don't want to sound overly negative with the recent stuff. His administration deserves credit. But the trend has been troubling lately, and he really needs to stay the course if he wants to live up to his pronouncements.

They can be informative or even sound positive, but not overly laudatory.

I think Damien Wilkins deserves lots and lots of credit for this one. I was a little surprised that he scored so many points, but I wasn't surprised in his effort or his defense. That's what a guy in his position is supposed to be ready to do.

We're concerned because it's part of a general trend in this administration. Far as we know, it's possible that they are like many other Americans - being spied on.

I think (Fuller) has reversed a negative trend, ... I think it would be in the tank if it wasn't for Bonnie. How much farther it can go is the question.

Al Gore actually deserves a lot of credit. In about 1986, he started asking questions like, 'Why don't we take these supercomputers and these optical fiber networks and put them together. Would that do anything?' Well, guess what? That eventually turned into the National Science Foundation Network, which became a core element of the Internet.
