  6. Obama punts on marijuana policy

    I suppose President Obama deserves some credit for <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2009/03/obama-addresses.html">addressing national marijuana policy </a> during his recent online town hall. But instead of seriously answering the thousands of questions submitted by Americans on overhauling our failed drug laws, he joked about the issue. In doing so, Obama passed on an unparalleled opportunity to offer food for thought on how the White House might be willing to rethink our disastrous marijuana policy. "I don't know what this says about the online audience," Obama joked. "This was a fairly popular question; we want to make sure that it was answered. The answer is no, I don't think that's a good strategy to grow our economy."

  8. A real school reformer for Obama

    Rather than recycle sound bites as evidence of one's credentials as an "education reformer," it would behoove The Times and other national media outlets to be a little more like Linda Darling-Hammond (President-elect Barack Obama's transition chief on education policy) and do their research.

  12. All-digital TV's time has come

    At the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last week, technology companies from around the world showed off television sets that can display personalized and interactive broadcasts, tune in programs from the Internet and effortlessly grab pictures from cellphones, cameras and camcorders. It's the next generation of television -- an evolution driven by the advent of digital TVs and programming. That evolution was slated to reach a critical point Feb. 17, when local TV stations were to turn off their analog broadcasts and transmit only digital signals. But just as the convention kicked off, President-elect Barack Obama's transition team asked Congress to <a href="http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-dtv9-2009jan09%2C0%2C6537360.story">postpone the cutoff indefinitely. </a> Needless to say, the news was not warmly received by manufacturers that have been promoting the switch to digital for more than a decade.
