[gopachy - All Discussions] Donâ€â™t Blame McCain: Martin refers to people among McCain’s “inner circle” who believe that the, “”¦the visual and stylistic contrast with Obama on Tuesday night was both plain to see and painful in the extreme.” He quotes one McCain adviser saying the contrast between McCain’s speaking skills and Obama’s was, “Not good,” and “It’s never going to be his strong suit, and it will always be Obama’s.” So McCain’s “inner circle” believes that a guy who’s spent decades in politics doesn’t know how to make a decent speech?
[AC - Public Governance RSS News Feed] Blue Sky Ahead?; Although The Senate Fell Short On Climate Change ...: With a hostile administration in the White House and a group of entrenched Republican lawmakers who still haven't grasped the economic reality that failing to slow climate change will ultimately cost the country far more money than combating it, there was little chance of passage this year. Fortunately, though, the political climate is changing as fast as planet Earth's.

[Right Wing Nut House] OBAMA’S RADICAL POLITICAL ALLIANCES: At least a few news reports have briefly mentioned Obama’s role in training Acorn’s leaders, but none that I know of have said what Foulkes reports next: that Obama’s long service with Acorn led many members to serve as the volunteer shock troops of Obama’s early political campaigns — his initial 1996 State Senate campaign, and his failed bid for Congress in 2000 (Foulkes confuses the dates of these two campaigns.) With Obama having personally helped train a new cadre of Chicago Acorn leaders, by the time of Obama’s 2004 U.S. Senate campaign, Obama and Acorn were “old friends,”

[The Uncommon Blog of Iowa] Jim Leach on Iraq: Likewise, the doctrine contemplates the need to counter the threat that certain despotic regimes - like those the President labeled as evil: Iran, Iraq and North Korea - may develop or actually possess weapons of mass destruction and threaten to use them or put them in the hands of terrorists. In addition, because our own power is so extraordinary, and because the threat from international terrorists so grave, the strategy suggests that America need no longer be constrained in its actions by international rules, treaties, and even traditional security partnerships.
