I thought that this was a brilliant endorsement from the former Secretary of State. It seemed like such a refreshingly collected, thoughtful and non-partisan assessment of not only how each candidate has faired in this long election process but also what kind of leader America needs the most right now. In [...]

It’s tough to extinguish a fire that you’ve stoked so high. I think John McCain has been reminded of one of his responses during Pastor Rick Warren’s Saddleback Civil forum on Presidency, when he listed Rep. John Lewis as one of three people that he would listen to the most. I [...]
RE Campaign Candor

For the sake of context….
Mom and Dad, I too have noticed that we have crossed that threshold where we’re no longer just rolling our eyes at John McCain because he is misrepresenting Obama’s tax plan, or blaming him for [...]

This is amazing. A little boy giving a keynote speech at the Dallas Independent School District function for teachers and parents. I cried. Could we be living in a place where a little black child can believe in himself, inspire others, and create change? I hope so…

Enough!…I’m Not Buying It

Now that the impending doom of this economic meltdown has sobered us up and our public discourse has shifted from phony outrage to the real stuff, John McCain needs to regroup. Citing the need for an emergency meeting of congressional leaders (already in progress) to address the financial crisis as his rationale, McCain is suspending [...]
Enough!…Continued

Toots, I’ve definitely shared your frustrations with Obama’s responses (or lack thereof) to the flood of political duplicity, but like many of his reactions to past insanities I saw the video you posted as bitter- sweet as well. Though I recognize the smallness of this point and I swallow my disdain for the minutiae of political [...]
Enough!

It seemed that after Obama’s poignant “Enough!” at the DNC, things were going to change. I thought, wow, maybe now he will become just a bit more confrontational and call the McCain campaign out on the lies propagated and dirty political games played.
But after Obama’s interview with O’Reilly, and his admitting [...]

Organizing Communities

There was a whole lot to digest (and even more to regurgitate) from the Republican National Convention, and I think its gonna take me a while to process it all. In particular, the shameless derision toward community organizing by both Rudy Guiliani and Sarah Palin left the distinctive alkaline taste of bile in my mouth. [...]
