The song is beautiful, but isn't it amazing how even without the music his speech can bring a tear to the eye of any hardened cynic.

Yes, we can.

We have all waited for a leader who could unite us. He has arrived. Now it is up to us. We need to get behind him and support him.

If we don’t, we will get the age old divisive politics… and that includes Hillary.

Obama’s strong record and lifetime achievements show that he not only talks a great vision, but he acts on it as well.

Please give of your time, support, and, yes, donations if possible. however, if you do nothing else, talk to others. We need to do our part.

Yes, we can.

Reading about Barack's stance on issues, listening to his speeches... It feels like something big is coming, something great and strong and more powerful than all the lies and deception we have been given previously- it feels like soon we will be able breath again, see again, hear again through all the corruption which has stifled free will and democracy. I can't wait until election day; I'll be there for sure, ready to take back America.

The Obama Bounce will occur at home in every inner city school. Without even having to spend an additional dollar, achievement levels will rise over the next couple of years, for Obama having made it this far. They will rise even farther and higher, if he makes it all the way.

I predict an Obama Bounce abroad, as the USA regains its stature, as we go back to doing what we do best, innovating and inventing, and finally living up the the 142 year old promise.

You can put the Obama video on your blog with one click at the Obama site to get the code, and then a quick wander into layout, rather than post. Click on "add an element" and chose an html/script element, and past the code into the body. You can title it whatever you want, and it will show up on your blog. This works for Blogger just fine. You can see what it looks like at farstars.blogspot.com

My first tutoring, with me as tutor, experience was at 53rd and some street west of San Pablo, in some church, back in 1966....

a serious moment

By
I was really struck by this photo , which graced the cover of Tuesday's New York Times, showing Ariel Sharon, Condoleeza Rice and James Baker attending a memorial of the late Yitzhak Rabin in Israel. There's something in that picture...in Rice's face, jaw set, eyes hidden behind rockstar sunglasses...and how she is flanked on either side by two men who've played hard-ball power politics for decades: Ariel Sharon, peering beneath his furrowed brow and, always conscious he is being observed, gesturing and thinking...and James Baker, completely hidden behind a permanent dimplomatic mask, an impenetrable sphinx. Of course, that photo sends a powerful message to the world. Rice was in Israel to do serious business . The fact that she brought Baker with her meant that the full weight of the U.S. military-industrial complex... the old guard ...was with her. That trip to Israel was important; and I would guess that U.S. plans and actions regarding Syria were part of that

James Watson: racism alive and well in the USA

By
I've spent the last 24 hours reading as the fires ignited by Nobel laureate James Watson have spurred hundreds of racist comments on message boards across the world . The racial views espoused by Watson are not simply pernicious, they are unamerican. The premise that you could walk out your door in the United States and make the claim, with a straight face and in a public place, that you presume that someone is less intelligent than you because of the color of their skin or ethnic background is abhorrent. Watson claims that everyone with Black employees “knows that they are not the equals of Whites” and, somehow, that is supposed to be acceptable? We are supposed to take him seriously…as a scientist? I don’t think so. Watson is about to lose his job and what was left of his reputation. The equality of every citizen, respect for each other including our differences and a sense of the potential inherent in each and every citizen, especially our children, is essential to what it m

Sharks, Carp and Dolphins: applying a model from business to politics

By
From where I stand, it is encouraging to read essays expressing creative and critical ways to think about Democratic strategy in what is shaping up to be a significant election year.   Thereisnospoon has served up another solid challenge (always welcome) to Democratic assumptions...and bmaples addendem to that diary (including a nice summary of some thoughts from Markos) extended the idea of a  "broad assault" on conservatism that I (with many others) advocated in the wake of Katrina with flipping the rock . What I'd like to do with this essay is adapt a paradigm from the world of business strategy that I think applies to the Democratic party in 2006.  I think you'll find these ideas dovetail with the above essays, and, I hope, will prove useful tools for thinking about Democratic strategy in 2006... Dudley Lynch's 1989 book Strategy of the Dolphin: Scoring a Win in a Chaotic World divided business strategy into three competing paradigms:  that of Sharks, that
