Bob Herbert has a great column in today’s New York Times about race. I definitely suggest giving it a read. He says:
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright is no doubt (and regrettably) a big issue in the presidential campaign. But what we’ve seen over the past week is major media overkill — Jeremiah Wright all [...]

I was doing a last run through of certain items on the Internet before bed and I ran across an interesting piece from David Gergen, a political analyst who served in the Nixon, Ford, Reagan and Clinton administrations. He had a blurb from his book “Eyewitness to Power, “that spoke to leadership style and [...]

In the TV age, we have seen a whole host of different Presidential candidates from all over the United States. If you include both primary and general election from the major parties, no one could complain that we haven’t seen candidates from across the spectrum cross our paths as we picked leaders for this [...]

As the Jeremiah Wright National Press Club (NPC) debacle gathered steam, many wondered where the hell is Barack Obama. As I am on his mailing list, the only thing I heard from his campaign was yesterday at 9:15 in an e-mail about Limited Edition Car Magnets. I wondered, “do they not see the [...]

Jeremiah Wright is a self-absorbed and egocentric man. Barack Obama must disown Wright if he wants to have any chance of being elected President.

Barack Obama’s huge donor list is yet another reason why the DNC wants him to be the Democratic nominee. He has a large list of potential new donors to Democratic causes. This list is political gold for the Democratic party. The DNC needs to treat Obama with great care in order to [...]

I have traveled to a number of countries since this campaign started and I have read much of the foreign press. From where I sit, it is obvious that non-Americans really want a ‘regime change’ in the United States. They view the U.S. as a threat to world peace and are frightened how [...]

Barack Obama is definitely not comfortable on a tractor, in a bowling alley, or downing shots of Crown Royal. You might think things like that are petty when it comes to voting in a democracy. But, in the end, many people are less concerned with global issues, and more concerned with the kind [...]

The Boston Globe had an editorial in today’s paper entitled ‘Hillary Strangelove’ about Hillary Clinton’s dangerous and outlandish saber-rattling. Recently, she said in the Pennsylvania debate that she would use “massive retaliation” against Iran for an attack on Israel. She later qualified this statement on Keith Olbermann’s show to mean in the case [...]
