Post-Convention Wrap Up: Our Responsibility to Help Barack Achieve His Vision
When I watched Obama’s keynote address at the 2004 convention from my then-apartment in Chicago, tears streaming down my face because someone had finally articulated what it should mean to be an American citizen, like everyone else I thought: “This guy should be President.” To be sitting four years later at his electrifying acceptance speech [...]
Convention Overload, Big Couple Days Ahead.
The term “sensory overload” could not be more appropriate for how I’m feeling right now. The 16th Street Mall was a nightmare today, crowded with protestors (and their large signs with pictures of mutilated fetuses), cops, delegates, staffers … my head is spinning just thinking about them all! I just encountered some Republicans driving a [...]
Hope This Doesn’t Backfire.
But I’m glad BO decided to let HRC be nominated. It’s a fair, classy and historic thing to do. From the NYT story: “I am convinced that honoring Senator Clinton’s historic campaign in this way will help us celebrate this defining moment in our history and bring the party together in a strong united fashion,” [...]
Suck It Up, Obama Supporters!

Good for Mark Warner.
I saw Mark Warner speak at a small event in LA earlier this year; while he’s no BO with a microphone, he did engage the crowd with some entertaining stories and compelling progressive arguments. I thought, at the time, that he’d make a decent Veep choice, but everyone was enamored with his fellow Virginian, Jim [...]
I Completely Agree.
Really enjoyed this post from Natasha Vargas-Cooper, who also writes the blog Public School Intelligentsia. Not a big Tyra Banks fan myself. The die-hards are all insisting that Obama is a selling out. He represents America, people. Even the wackos are Americans and I’m proud to support someone with the capacity to consider dissenting opinions.
