This is absurd, and manipulative in the worst way: the attack that received the most pop, on cable television and blogs, came after a photograph of Mr. Obama in ceremonial African garb appeared on the Drudge Report, and the item’s author, Matt Drudge, claimed that the image was provided by a Clinton staff member. Mr. Obama’s campaign manager, David Plouffe, Continue Reading
David’s latest comment under his post on Obama the other day expresses it well. The only only difference being, nobody has to hold a gun to my head. The relief would be very palpable that this would be an important change in direction. Where we head after the change is still very much an issue of concern. If someone put Continue Reading
Some really good discussion under Charlie’s post I’ve been blogging about starting here is taking place.
It is simply a lot less work to support Barack Obama for president than it is to lead our churches into being living communities of righteousness, justice and God’s Mission in the world. The above is my highlight from some excellent observations relating to my post on Charlie’s post about Obama and “change you can believe in”. Here are Continue Reading
Juan Cole, who IS a Middle East expert, knows who is NOT one when he sees them: eg. John McCain. McCain: “Will the next President have the experience, the judgment experience informs, and the strength of purpose to respond to each of these developments in ways that strengthen our security and advance the global progress of our ideals?

No, Hillary, the opposite is true. I think your candidacy would be the best hope for the Republicans, since you would be the most likely thing to unite the Continue Reading
Charlie has the same reaction to this as I do. These are “establishment” people with some sort of “check” on the movement Obama has amongst the fed up in this country. Hillary has the gall to start calling Obama the “establishment” (which I thought a bit funny considering who SHE is, and what the Clinton Administration in the 90’s was, Continue Reading
My animosity toward Hillary (mostly existing because of her support for the war and her taking money from Health Care companies) has just risen to new heights, due to the inane stunt she is pulling , twisting Obama’s words to absurd conclusions. It’s insulting. She said in the debate that Obama “liked” Reagan’s ideas. I see nothing but the opposite Continue Reading
This is just downright disturbing language to me, and I like Obama (maybe "prefer" compared to some of the others is more accurate) , but this group is discomforting in its use of "nation language" (ie "we believe in the goodness and the potential of the American people to come together and solve our nation’s challenges.") Seems to replace church Continue Reading
