  1. “That one”? In that moment, McCain let us know, he’s not the one

    You knew the mud would be different this time around with the first person of color running for president. So the campaign’s new low should be no surprise.  John McCain gave his operatives the green light  to begin the mudslinging when he made his infamous “That one” comment in reference to Barack Obama  during this [...]

  2. Obama/McCain:Who won? Who cares? Ask yourself, “Who represents our hopes and dreams?”

    I have my mail-in ballot. I think I might vote today.What’s there to wait for–the depression?
    Last night’s debate was so lacklustre that it was clear we have entered into the defensive mode.  Obama can afford “the prevent D” a bit more than McCain. But just don’t  expect anybody to come up with many silver bullets [...]

    Forty-one percent of Asian Americans support Barack Obama compared to just 24 percent who support John McCain, according to a comprehensive groundbreaking  national survey released today in Washington.
    But the most significant revelation is how Asian Americans are more undecided as a group compared to the national population. Thirty-four percent of Asian Americans say they have [...]

    If you haven’t read Nicholas Kristoff’s column today, “Racism without Racists,” you should. And then ask yourself if you’re a racist.

  5. Bailout? Wells/Wachovia deal shows that capitalism can take care of capitalism

    Wells Fargo is buying Wachovia.
    What did you expect? In this Darwinian world, the strong survive, the weak seek bailouts.
    In this case, the weak look so appetizing to a bigger fish looking to gobble up something tasty.  Just makes sense. Citibank, which had made an earlier offer to buy Wachovia, was just a poser anyway, with [...]

    I don’t know what I was expecting with the veep debate. But I didn’t think it would be so painful to watch Palin try to sound intelligent. She really does make George Bush look like a mental giant.  I want to take her seriously but she only has one move. When the going gets tough [...]

  7. The End of Partisanship: The need for some bail-out kumbaya, and a little salesmanship

    I’ve admired Nancy Pelosi over the years. Yesterday, her speech from the house floor haranguing George Bush for blowing the huge surplus inherited from the Clinton-Democrats was 100 percent right and totally amok.
    But it was also the wrong speech at the wrong time. In crisis, we need a little less obvious harangue, and a little [...]

  8. Bailout deal only enables more corporate greed

    Here’s why I’m still suspicious of any bail out deal. It’s not about the consumer/taxpayer.
    We just foot the bill. The beneficiaries are the capitalists, many of whom look on the bailout as a “sweetener” for the deals they want to make as soon as the bailout gets done.

    Sen. Richard Burr (R-North Carolina) is the key member who appears to be holding up a move to a conference committee to decide the fate of the Fil Vets of WWII.  Burr should be urged to support further negotiations of both S.1315 and the house lump sum proposal . In conference, Sen. Akaka and Sen.Inouye, [...]

  10. McCain can’t bailout his campaign as Obama holds his own

    If this was the debate John McCain had to  win, it didn’t work out that way. McCain was good in this first debate.  But so was Obama. A tie advantages Obama, who has to convince my in-laws in Ohio that his middle name is irrelevant and he doesn’t wear a turban.
