Obama

Posted to Annoying category
Ok, he's not even officially president and he's pissing me off.

He's now postponing the move to digital TV for a couple months. DamnIt! I just sat thru 10+ months of warnings about the move, if people aren't ready now, they won't be ready then.

We should just force the move on the date that was set. We should also force a move to the metric system, we've been getting ready for it since the '70.

DamnIt! If Digital TV and the Metric system was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for us!.

The agency that was supposed to give people coupons to help pay for adapters ran out of money a while ago, so it stopped providing the promised coupons to the people who asked for them, so some people may not be able to upgrade in time through basically no fault of their own. I think the delay is to give the agency a chance to get some more funding and catch up with the coupon requests.

Yes, thats the reasoning, and it makes sense. However, we can bail all sorts of other non-goverment agencies, at a weeks notice, yet we need to push the date back 3-4 months to figure out how to pay for this?
