En tout cas, il n'avait pas promis le contraire avant son élection :
"The Obama administration sent a forceful public message Sunday that American military forces could remain in Afghanistan for a long time"
(NYT, 06/12/2009)
En plein Climate Gate ... :
"Many local governments are figuring out how to use the Internet to make government data more accessible."
(NYT, 07/12/2009)
Marrant de lire ça après la fin de la conférence :
"Maybe I’m naïve, but I’m feeling optimistic about the climate talks starting in Copenhagen on Monday."
(Paul Krugman, NYT, 07/12/2009)
Les minarets, la suite :
"If the more perfect union promised by the Lisbon Treaty is the European elite’s greatest triumph, the failure to successfully integrate millions of Muslim immigrants represents its greatest failure. And the two are intertwined: they’re both the fruits of the high-handed, often undemocratic approach to politics that Europe’s leaders have cultivated in their quest for unity."

Une apologie du quick and dirty là où on ne s'y attend pas :
"In Silicon Valley we have a saying: launch early, launch often. It’s an acknowledgment that successful, innovative companies are the ones that rapidly try new ideas, see what works, improve their products and repeat. Businesses that launch frequently are also able to take advantage of economies of scale to make launchings faster and easier. In many ways, the key to innovation is speed of execution.
NASA, an agency that depends on innovation, could benefit from the same mindset."
