9 / 11 - 6 years later, America's 3 lethal errors By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
By fighting against ghosts, the Amharas and the Tigrays push nations, peoples, not only the Somalis, but their own Amhara and Tigray Muslims to absolute Extremism, turning Africa’s national emancipation and nation – building to a frenetic, comprehensive Islamic Extremism.
ACORN's Voter Fraud? By : Johnny Moon
You may have heard a lot about the so called "voter fraud" of the group ACORN lately I'm writing this article to clear up any misconceptions that you may have on this subject because there have been a lot of untrue things about this topic spread around by the GOP/Fox News & the McCain/Palin campaign
Al Qaeda's Threat to the Election, and McCain's Views on Iraq By : Cesar Aguado
With the elections approaching quickly, there is increasing fear among many in the U.S. government that al Qaeda may attempt to carry out attacks against Americans in an effort to sway election results.
American Target - Terrorism or Islam? By : Tanveer Jafri
There were terrorist activities even before the 9/11 terrorist attack on America. But the form of terrorism was different from the form of terrorism prevalent now-a-days. Before 9/11, America was known as the spectator of so said Islamic terrorism or at some places it was known that it worked as a helper to organize it. But the event of 9/11 forced America to think that even America can fall victim to own pet snake.
Are the Presidential Candidates Disconnected from the American people? By : Jessica Davis
Are the Presidential Candidates Disconnected from the American people?
As Obama Rises, Old Guard Civil Rights Leaders Scowl By : William Jelani Cobb
The most amazing thing about the 2008 presidential race is not that a black man is a bona fide contender, but the lukewarm response he has received from the luminaries whose sacrifices made this run possible. With the notable exception of Joseph Lowry, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference veteran who gave a stirring invocation at Obama's Atlanta campaign rally in June & subsequently endorsed him, Obama has been running without much support from many of the most recognizable black figures
Barack Obama Dialed My Number - And I am Not Even An American By : Christine Akiteng
Up until now, I have made it a point to post only articles about dating and relationships because that's where my passion is. But this last week, something different happened. Senator Barack Obama found my number, dialed all the right digits and said things that stirred me so deep that I was crying like a woman whose man had just told her for the first time "I love you".
Barack Obama Will Become U. S. President By : Rel Adviser
Notwithstanding the fact that so far neither Senator Hillary Clinton nor Senator Barack Obama could proclaim the victory of the presidential primaries after the Super Tuesday, Best-Relationship-Advice is, however, prepared to make a bold and definitive advice...
Bhutto Death: Republican Terror-Mongering Re-Emerges By : James Opiko
Fresh from a sustained "blitzkrieg" of "illegal immigrants," the Republican presidential contender "flip-flop" shadow boxing match has suddenly shifted gears in another direction.
Clinton Pushes for Delegate Switch By : Cesar Aguado
Earlier this week, Clinton was vocal in pointing out the ability for delegates, even those who had already pledged their support to a particular candidate
CNN: Corrupt News Network - A self-serving agenda was set for the Republican presidential debates By : Tim Rutten
So, why did CNN make immigration the keystone of this debate? What standard dictated the decision to give that much time to an issue so remote from the majority of voters' concerns? The answer is that CNN's most popular news-oriented personality, Lou Dobbs, has made opposition to illegal immigration and free trade the centerpiece of his neonativist/neopopulist platform.
Corporate Income Tax Reform--- Seriously By : Steve Selengut
Politicians have never been shy about dictating proper behavior to individuals or hesitant in shamelessly picking the pockets of businesses to fund their projects. Self-employed business owners, for example, pay a minimum 35% Federal Income Tax, State and Local taxes of various kinds, and the usual Workers Compensation, Medicare, and double Social Security Taxes.
Debunking the Reagan Myth By : Paul Krugman
And like Reaganomics — but more quickly — Bushonomics has ended in grief. The public mood today is as grim as it was in 1992. Wages are lagging behind inflation. Employment growth in the Bush years has been pathetic compared with job creation in the Clinton era. Even if we don't have a formal recession — and the odds now are that we will — the optimism of the 1990s has evaporated.
Democracy is Fleeting in America; The Iraq War and Liberty Quarry By : Stewart A. Alexander
When I think of the Iraq War and Liberty Quarry there are two similarities between one and the other; they both represent a gigantic pit and Americans are being excluded from crucial decisions that will affect their lives and the lives of their children for decades.
Democrats…Learned Anything in the Last 8 Years? By : Bob Miller
Mentioning John McCain and war hero in the same sentence is an oxymoron. Since I was shot down twice in Vietnam, I did at one time respect McCain until I started checking with those who spent time with him in North Vietnam. His nickname was "Songbird". McCain didn't volunteer to be a POW and he didn't begin to comply with Article III of the United States Code of Conduct after being captured.
Despite the rough tide, Obama still grows strong By : John Mulaa
Obama sought out his Kenyan roots to complete the circle of who he was. His mother, who died in 1995, provided him with the ability to do so. Knowing oneself is a feat few manage. Obama did. Now he is ready to take America along the path of self-discovery through honesty and building bridges across all divides. Behind the successful Obama there was Stanley.
Forty years after the shot rang out, race fears still haunt the US By : Paul Harris
Life has changed beyond recognition for many Americans since an assassin's bullet killed Martin Luther King in 1968. Yet despite the rise of a black middle class and Barack Obama's challenge for the White House, the racial divide still exists - and for an urban underclass, things have only got worse.
George McGovern -- Why I Believe Bush and Cheney Must Go. Nixon Was Bad. These Guys Are Worse By : George McGovern
Bush and Cheney are clearly guilty of numerous impeachable offenses. They have repeatedly violated the Constitution. They have transgressed national and international law. They have lied to the American people time after time. Their conduct and their barbaric policies have reduced our beloved country to a historic low in the eyes of people around the world. These are truly "high crimes and misdemeanors," to use the constitutional standard.
Get Ready for a Democratic Era By : John B. Judis
Karl Rove's grandest aspiration was to create a Republican majority that would dominate American politics for a generation or more. But as the effects of his distinctive brand of fear-mongering fade, it's the Democrats who are poised to become the country's majority party -- and perhaps for a long time to come.
Going crazy over Hispanics By : Ruben Navarrette Jr.
Given that Census figures say that one in four Americans will be Hispanic by 2050, they could also be a matter of survival for the political parties. While the total number of Hispanics voting in next year's presidential election is expected to be just under 9 million, or about 9 percent of the electorate, those votes are concentrated in battleground states whose primaries come early in the process, and will thus likely have the greatest impact.
Good Guys Finish Last By : Burk Pendergrass
The Republican party is already looking forward to 2012. The Republicans have always expected their hopefuls to fall in line though it has certainly not always worked that way. But, looking forward to 2012 the question today is who will be the presumptive head of that ticket. The current contenders are Former Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas of whom Bill Clinton even said publicly "that is a good man" and Former Governor Mitt Romney of Massachusetts.
Governor Richardson of New Mexico Endorses Obama By : Cesar Aguado
In a move that could potentially sway Democratic Hispanics to vote for Barack Obama, New Mexico Governor Richardson announced his endorsement of Obama for President on Friday.
Harsh words on immigrants could backfire on GOP By : Staff Writer
Listening to the Republican presidential candidates, you might sometimes think that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the softening economy, a government in serious debt or a planet in climatological peril are second-tier issues. If the Republicans' harsh pre-primary rhetoric backfires on them next November in Florida and other battleground states, they will have only themselves to blame.
Health Care Excuses By : Paul Krugman
The United States spends far more on health care per person than any other nation. Yet we have lower life expectancy than most other rich countries. Furthermore, every other advanced country provides all its citizens with health insurance; only in America is a large fraction of the population uninsured or underinsured.
Hilary Clinton Fades Into the Distance By Comparison By : Wendy Stenberg-Tendys
Only politics can demand a woman swill beer or club pigs to death. Can Hillary rise to the occasion and meet such a challenge?
Historian Anticipated Rift Between African-Americans And Hispanic Immigrants By : Genevieve Grant
I almost shivered as I read an article entitled “The Hispanic Factor” Its purpose was to “look at the possibility of African-Americans and Hispanic Americans forming a political bloc as a means of combatting white America's racism.
How the Democrats are Helping McCain's Campaign By : Cesar Aguado
Political sparring and taking personal swipes at each other is an expected part of any presidential campaign.
How to damage US interests in Africa – Demonizing Eritrea By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
It is not Somalia that is a ‘failed state’; Africa’s most failed state is Abyssinia, the world’s most abominable and malodorous Morgue, which is repudiated with the utmost wrath and indignation by more than 80% of its tyrannized inhabitants, namely the oppressed nations and ethno-religious groups that have been subjugated by the Monophysitic, heretic Christian, barbaric and totalitarian Amhara and Tigray Abyssinians. This is the top failure among all the states of the world: fake ‘Ethiopia’.
Iraq War Funding - Bush Pressuring Democrats By : Stewart A. Alexander
President Bush is attempting to pressure Democrats in Washington to give him $196 billion to continue the Iraq War. To enforce his position, the president is threatening mass layoffs of civilian employees at the Defense Department if Congress delays his war funding.
Iraq War: Democrats Will Stay the Course By : Stewart A. Alexander
These days the presidential candidates for the Democratic Party are sounding more like replacement candidates for Bush; on the issue of ending the Iraq War. All the candidates, with the exception of Representative Dennis Kucinich and Governor Bill Richardson, are making open-ended commitments to keep American forces in Iraq and the Middle East region for years.
Is America Ready for Barack Obama to be president? By : Simon Jones

Is US in its sunset days of global leadership? By : John Mulaa
Is America falling off the pedestal it has occupied for so long? A spate of commentaries and analyses by Americans examining the issue from varying ideological positions and perspectives appear to concur that their homeland is losing its number one status. And, unfortunately, most Americans are blissfully unaware of it.
Joe Biden the Presumptive Vice Prophet - Crystal Ball in the White House? By : Michael Bresciani
Joe Biden has taken to making predictions on his campaign romp across the state of Washington. No one so far has asked the Senator how he got his information or by what means he deduced this future vision, was it a dream or a portent in the night?
John McCain vs The Belligerent Anti-Immigrant Far Right By : James Opiko
After "Super-Tuesday's" primaries and caucuses, the belligerent, anti-immigrant far-right fringe of the Republican is in "extreme" desperation. That they are trying to maul the Republican front-runner Senator John McCain is not surprising, for their "crazed-dog" 17th century mentality is legendary.
Just another Election or a Fight for the Soul of a Nation By : Michael Bresciani
Not everyone who can’t see is blind. Even with 20/20 vision a person or an entire nation can have their attention diverted away from what they should be seeing. Is this exactly what is happening in America in this 2008 election year?
Known by the Company We Keep? - No, says Obama, It's the Economy Stupid By : Michael Bresciani
Obama says the McCain campaign is pointing to the wrong issue by bringing up his association with, racists, haters and domestic bombers.
Last Bank Standing - The Wall Street Mega-Crash By : Steve Selengut
Today's Congress is ignoring its role as the primary creative force in today's problems. This transfusion is needed because: bad laws have obscured the values on financial institution balance sheets, and have created a clot in the credit arteries that keep the economy alive.
Law Of Attraction: Clinton, Biden Blame Bush, but are Just As Responsible for War in Iraq By : Antonio Thornton
Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden are blaming Bush for the war in Iraq, but it's the collective consciousness of the people of the United States (and the rest of the world) that is really responsible.
Limits of America's Power By : John Mulaa
Two recent interrelated events, the Russia-Georgia spat and the seemingly inability of hard breathing West, especially America, to forcefully react, mock the idea of the destiny controlling superpower that America is supposed to be. It is not something that the American punditocracy is used to. To hear them rave and rage over Russia's actions in Georgia, and then to watch them cool down to a state of incoherence forged by the realisation that they have no control of some .....
Many candidates, corporate media obscures U.S. presidential politics By : Stewart A. Alexander
Third political parties do not compete on a level playing field in U.S. politics; the corporate media will spend more money in one day, promoting the campaigns of McCain, Obama and Clinton, than the amount of money third political parties will spend in one year to promote their candidates, combined. While third party candidates are spending hundreds and thousands of dollars on flyers and brochures, big corporations are spending millions to keep the names of their candidates in the public's view.
Misogyny--Alive And (Never) Well? By : Kate Loving Shenk
This Lively Political Year Brings Out the Best--and the Worst in Everyone.
Mythology Alive and Well By : Bob Miller

New Energy Bill - Working People will Pay By : Stewart A. Alexander
The new energy bill, approved by the U.S. Congress, will drastically increase the profits of the petroleum and ethanol producers over the next decade; the energy bill will also increase the cost of food, fuel, consumer goods and transportation. Over the next 15 years, the bill will cost working class people trillions of dollars while making the billionaires richer worldwide.
Obama Assassinated, if Hillary Clinton or Al Gore Nominated as Vice-President ? By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis

Obama Gains Support in Pennsylvania By : Cesar Aguado
In a move that could help Democratic Presidential hopeful Barack Obama gain inroads with white, working class voters and business people,
Obama has set US black record By : James N. Kariuki
Few people know precisely what Barack Obama's position is on various issues that are pressing to Americans and humanity. What is known is that a black man has emerged from nowhere and is in a position only a step away from the most powerful office in the world. This is a remarkable feat in a society where a black person is traditionally looked down upon.
Obama sets example of hard work to villagers By : Harold Ayodo
Villagers in the ancestral home of Illinois Senator Barack Obama have vivid memories of a young man who carried sukuma wiki (kale) on his back for his grandmother to the market. The year was 1987 when the senator visited his ancestral home at Nyang’oma, Alego Kogello in Siaya District, for the first time. Mr. Dismas Benadus, a bicycle mechanic still remembers how the senator helped his grandmother, Sarah, ferry sacks of vegetables to the market.
Obama turns America’s tribal voting pattern on its head By : Staff Writer
American politics is tribal. Not in the sense of Kikuyu and Luo and Kalenjin and Kamba and all our competing ethnic groups, but racial and ethnic components do account for the differences in this richly diverse country.
Obama's audacity might just pay off By : Nancy Mburu
The Obamas seem to have done their homework well. And now, many who have the audacity of hope can only wait and see if ‘The Superpower’ will elect its first black president ever.
Obama's ego and his cultural ties By : John Mulaa
A little unsavoury bit of the otherwise fetching Senator Barrack Obama's narrative is gaining traction among segments of the commentariat. Those predisposed to find fault and are unlikely to vote for the senator anyway.
Obama, nuclear weapons and the race factor By : James N. Kariuki
In early August 1945, the US dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. The indiscriminate damage of life and property was immeasurable. It was a massive collective punishment, a classic case of the power of modern civilisation without its mercy. Ever since, the world has been haunted by two questions. Was the use of nuclear devices necessary? Would the US have used nuclear weapons against white Germany? Critics remain deeply divided.
On Obama - Why Black People Are Not Optimistic By : James N. Kariuki
John F Kennedy steered America away from believing that Blackness was a badge of perpetual underclass. Lyndon B Johnson pushed that process a step further by inventing affirmative action. Obama could go one more step by apologising to Global Africa for centuries of American slavery and racial abuse. For that alone, he shall not have lived in vain.
Oromo Affairs: Basic Readings for Jendayi Frazer By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
US statesmen, recalling the Principles and the Values of the Founding Fathers, should be gravely concerned with the continuation of the oppressive rule either in Tibet or in Oromia.
Palin Critics Swallowing Camels? By : Michael Bresciani
With only days left to the final showdown between John McCain and Barack Obama it looks like the Dem’s have taken to the lowest common denominator in their hunt for dirt on Sarah Palin. Its only politics as usual but it makes being impartial very hard.
Peace and Freedom Party War Protestor Arrested By : Stewart A. Alexander

Political Comparisons on American Health Care By : Clelland Green

President Potato Head and His Christian Soldiers By : Bob Miller
Around the world people are rediscovering the Solanum tuberosum, a starchy tuberous root vegetable that was first cultivated in Peru some 7,000 years ago, or so says Wikipedia. In the US we produce an average of about 450 million hundredweight (112 pounds) of potatoes each year.
Presidential Nominee Moore Polarizes Iraq War Issue By : Stewart A. Alexander
Today, there are two sides on the Iraq War debate; on the left there is Brian Moore, with Socialist Party USA and Peace and Freedom Party, and on the right there are the Democrats and Republicans. Brian Moore recently received the nomination for president by the Socialist Party USA; during the party's National Convention, in St Louis, Missouri, Moore put the line in the sand, "immediate withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan."
Race factor in US presidential race By : James N. Kariuki
Two weeks ago, the United States presidential hopeful, Senator Hillary Clinton, triggered a storm of criticism for asserting that Martin Luther King’s dream of racial equality was realised only after President Lyndon B Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. To the unsuspecting, this statement would probably have been entirely harmless.
Republican Hot Flashes By : Eugene Robinson
Has America become a mean, ungenerous, cramped and crabby nation, a deeply insecure colossus -- one that just might be taking all those Viagra and Cialis commercials a bit too personally? Is the country desperate to find scapegoats for a perceived decline in, um, vigor? Or is America still a confident land of hope and promise, a place still potent with possibility?
Right-Wing 'Christian Missionaries' Digging For 'Obama Dirt' in Kenya By : Kevin J. Kelley

Russia, Turkey, America, and the Apostate Freemasonic Anglo-French Elite By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
America must re-invent itself, following the principles of the Founding Fathers, who heralded a new era of Progress, Freedom and Justice, hoping to diffuse the real, authentic, and great ideals of the Speculative and Operative Freemasonry that became immediately the primary target of the (then rising) Apostate Freemasonic Lodge. These ideals can also be encountered in the Varangian Russian Brotherhoods and the traditional Ottoman Freemasonry.

Seeing It From Bob Miller's Point Of View By : Nick Carter
When it comes to controversy, Bob Miller is certainly no stranger. A veteran of the Vietnam War, Bob Miller is one of the world's most celebrated modern war authors with a sharp pen and a nose for the truth.
Shallow, fake... Sarah Palin is beyond parody By : Martin Samuel
"The kid-glove treatment of the Republican vice-presidential candidate is an insult to women." "Intelligence is now viewed as a threat. Joe Biden appeared at the VP debate with his hands tied, his intellect muted, his manner subdued, lest he should seem smarter, better informed or more competent than his opponent, a move which was inexplicably deemed undesirable." Anyone who thinks Palin's performances since her catastrophic CBS interview have been adequate must also believe the American public
Should Obama Start Drama? By : Todd A. Smith

So what if Obama is Muslim? The US should not demonise Islam By : Barrack Muluka

Socialist Party VP nominee calls McCain 'reckless' on Iran By : Stewart A. Alexander

Socialist: Federal Tax Relief Package is Welfare for Billionaires... By : Stewart A. Alexander
The presidential candidate's debates, which are being hosted by the corporate networks, are basically media spectacles. Nothing is being addressed in these television debates, by the Democrats or Republicans, regarding how they plan to get this nation out of the mess that is presently destroying the lives of millions of Americans. They do not have a plan, or at least not one they dare reveal to the voters.
Socialists Emerging as Democrats, Republicans Lose Voter Confidence By : Stewart A. Alexander

Socialists strongly criticize McCain's Iraq War timetable By : Stewart A. Alexander

Socialists want Stronger Ties with Mexico By : Stewart A. Alexander
As the 2008 Election year moves into high gear, most of the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates have adopted an anti-immigrant and anti-Mexican strategy for their campaigns. The message of the candidates is outlining an agenda that will increase border enforcement & supporting legislation that will restrict the rights of millions of immigrants. This anti-immigrant rhetoric, coming from the two corporate parties, is helping to drive an anti-immigrant public phobia across America.
Socialists: Feds Offering Little for U.S. Economic Recovery By : Stewart A. Alexander
Socialists are rejecting these meager efforts that will not result in any meaningful economic solutions for working people. Millions of working people have not been able to keep up with the cost of living; paychecks have remained the same or have gotten smaller and an extra $300 to $1,600 will not solve their financial woes.
Socialists: Iraq War Still Number One Issue By : Stewart A. Alexander
A growing consensus of the U.S. population is opposed to the continuous occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, more than 80 percent of all American according to recent scientific polls; and the war is the shame of U.S. foreign policy. As the U.S. prepares to enter into year 6 of the occupation, the losses are staggering. American military casualties in Iraq are 3,960 and 483 casualties in Afghanistan. Iraqi deaths now exceed one million, and more than four million Iraqis remain displaced.
Socialists: Re-Thinking Electric Cars and Automobile Industry By : Stewart A. Alexander
In March 2006, while running as a candidate for California Lieutenant Governor, I introduced a $75 billion plan that was designed to revive the struggling U.S. automobile industry; manufacturing electric cars and hydrogen vehicles. Later, that plan was revised to a 10 year, $120 billion plan that would have positioned the U.S. automobile industry on the forefront of manufacturing electric cars and hydrogen vehicles. It is now necessary to revise this plan to end the America’s dependency on ...
Socialists: Working people don't need stimulus checks 'Working people need good paying jobs' By : Stewart A. Alexander

Somalia, America, Values, Metaphysics and World Politics By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
I do not know many people in the world who would expect a Somali Plead for America in 2007; to them I dedicate the present article. And to all the journalists who contributed to the fallacious portraying of the Somalis as extremists.
Some Nuance for Barack Obama By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
With the American economy in the middle of a serious crisis that can be tremendously deteriorated, with a great number of social issues unresolved, with a wide range of very preoccupying global problems (energy, food crisis, bio-fuel, environment), America’s foreign policy needs reconsideration, reassessment and re-evaluation from scratch.

The Campfires of Fools By : Bob Miller
While Obama, Clinton, and McCain tell their flag-waving supporters about what a wonderful country we have and they all sing out "God Bless America", these politicians know, if the others don't, that at that very moment evil is taking place in Guantanamo Prison and in a half dozen other prisons as it did in Abu Ghraib.

The Long Run; Obama, A Biracial Candidate Walks His Own Fine Line By : Janny Scott
Mr. Obama's legislative record does not diverge sharply from that of other black legislators, some who have studied it say. For example, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which grades members of Congress on their support for its agenda, gave Mr. Obama a 100 percent score. The difference between him and some others lies more in life experience, approach to politics and style.
The Pursuit of Power Isn’t Pretty By : Julia Baird
Women have always exploited their gender when it suited them -- Margaret Thatcher was the kind of woman who made men's toes curl. Her savage intelligence, command of policy and what Francois Mitterrand called "the mouth of Marilyn Monroe and the eyes of Caligula" both terrified and intrigued them. And she loved it. The woman who was prime minister of Britain from 1979 to 1990 declared she owed nothing to "women's lib" and surrounded herself with men—appointing only one woman to her cabinet.
The True Christian Approach to the Obama Presidency By : Michael Bresciani
There has been an obvious lull in reporting, articles and pundit-cy on even the most conservative and Christian sites. The right and the evangelicals are repositioning while the left is on what some are predicting will be a long and illustrious honeymoon. What should Christians really do?
The USA, Israel's Friendly Bully By : Sam Vaknin
During the 1950s and 1960s, the USA was essentially pro-Arab.
Towards a post-racial America: From Adam to Obama By : Ali A. Mazrui
Barack Obama, the US Democratic presidential aspirant, has philosophised about a new post-racial America. In his campaign, he has emphasised not merely Martin Luther King's dream of racial equality, but a more advanced dream of post-raciality. If Obama were elected the first Black President of the United States, that would of course not be the end of race-consciousness in America, let alone the end of racism. But it would be a major step towards a future post-racial America.
Uncle Obama Wants You. Namely, The Middle-Class Poor By : Don Abrams.
Grow From Middle-Class Poor to 'Zero Debt' to Rich in One Year. October 5, 2008 - NEW YORK, NY
US Biases and Lies on the New Era of International Development By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Quite contrarily to Ms. Rice’s incantations, the dictators whom the US has methodically supported plunged their nations into even worse chaos than the disorder they encountered when they rose to power. None of them managed to set foundations for an enduring – let alone promising – future.
US Presidential Elections - Hillary's Unappealing Path By : Michael Gerson
Hillary Clinton's attempt to define a narrative of her own has been hobbled because her campaign is defined by the rejection of rhetoric. Obama's eloquence and idealism are dismissed as "abstract" and a "fairy tale" in contrast to Clinton's experience and policy substance. It is difficult for a campaign to inspire while using "inspiration" as an epithet.
VP Debate Leaves Questions Unanswered - Palin Still Shines By : Michael Bresciani
Squaring off with Delaware Senator Joseph Biden, Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin shined and proved once again that she is the best choice for the GOP in today’s climate of woefulness about the outgoing administrations legacy.
Wall Street Bailout, Congressional Cover-up, or Sarbanes-Oxley? By : Steve Selengut
More than 95% of Americans are making their mortgage payments right on schedule, yet there is no market for the financial products that contain these mortgages. Consequently, balance sheets reflect trillions of dollars less than the maturity value of the securities held by the financial institutions.

While Watching the Pope, God Showed Up By : Bob Miller

Who's More Realistic: McCain or Obama? By : Fareed Zakaria
Rhetoric about transcendent threats and mortal dangers grips the American imagination. But it also twists U.S. foreign policy in ways that can prove to be extremely costly to the country and the world.
Why Barack Obama owes a debt to past wars for freedom By : Dominic Odipo
As I watched Senator Barack Obama give his nearly flawless victory speech last week in North Carolina, I marvelled, once more, at the twin powers of history and the media. Here I was watching a black man giving this historic speech in full colour to the whole world courtesy of an American television channel for which I was paying nothing.
Why Obamamania? Because He Runs as The Great White Hope By : David Greenberg
The Obama phenomenon, then, stems not from what he has done but who he is. As the social critic John McWhorter has written, "What gives people a jolt in their gut about the idea of President Obama is the idea that it would be a ringing symbol that racism no longer rules our land."
