Boozing Bankers Celebrate Their Wealth and Triumph

Credit-Card Law Has Painful Impact
(13 comments) President Barack Obama and members of Congress are promising a new law to stop credit card companies from using fine print to exploit cardholders. But there's a catch in the bill "" a one-year delay so the companies have time to adjust their business models, essentially another loophole that is hastening rate hikes and credit-limit cuts before the new law can take effect.

The Great Bank Robbery of 2009
(32 comments) This week America witnessed Black Thursday for workers and families as the Senate defeated a bankruptcy bill that would have protected distressed homeowners and the House passed a bill that encourages and guarantees banks will continue abuses the bill pretends to remedy for a full year.

Let's Have a Real Tea Party
(10 comments) This is not partisan: I don't see the Obama administration officials taking the lead to fight for consumers; in fact, the banks are eating their lunch, whatever their intent.

Best Friend of George Soros and Billionaire Short-Sellers: The Republicans!
Here is the hypocrisy and hilarity of the recent attack on George Soros by Republican John Feehery. The economic policies championed by Feehery and other Republicans provide huge windfall profits for Soros and everyone else in his situation.

Laissez Unfair
We must end the corrupting collusion between Wall Street money and Washington policy, and begin a serious and thoughtful relationship based on sound business and true capitalism. Jon Stewart said it perfectly. Americans ask, "Who is on our side?"-

Finally, Putting Country First
(28 comments) As the United States faces a severe financial crisis, many of the key players in politics, business and the media continue to act out their tiresome roles to the detriment of the nation. In this guest essay, former Democratic congressional aide Brent Budowsky warns of the dangers from this unpatriotic approach."I propose a solution as our nation faces the moral equivalent of war"

Obama's Middle East Moment
(10 comments) While most of our media remains fixated on trivial trials in Illinois and similar mundane matters, the President of the United States is making one of the great U-Turns in diplomatic history and making a sincere and credible attempt to bring a historic transformation to the bloodstained carnage and crises that far too often engulfs the troubled lands of the Middle East. This is huge. This is historic.

Moment of Truth: Bush prepares pardons, Obama prepares to ban torture.
Under George Bush and Dick Cheney the intelligence community has been used as a partisan foil for their own sick goals. Torture is un-American and only results in damage. Damage to the tortured and, yes, the torturers. But also the very integrity of what is supposed to be the United States of America.

On Obama: What Cable-Television Democrats Don't Tell You
(6 comments) Many of the cable-television Democrats are smirking, chortling and smiling as they say how clever it was for Barack Obama to name Rick Warren to give the Inaugural invocation because they believe, falsely, that this will create some real good will for Obama that will ultimately help him. I believe: It won't matter any more than naming Bob Gates will help Obama with Republicans, unless Obama adopts Bush-like policies on Iraq.

Fiasco: Still on Our Knees, to Big Oil
(9 comments) The latest agreement to "help" the auto industry is not a "breakthrough" as described, but a fiasco that continues almost 40 years of incompetence and dereliction involving the automotive industry and America remaining on its knees to foreign oil. From the oil crisis of the early 1970s what was needed, on autos specifically and energy generally, was clear.

Save the Auto Industry, The American Way
(2 comments) Unlike the financial services sector, the target of so much of Hank Paulson's largess, the auto industry, with all its faults, actually produces concrete products. To pour nearly 1 trillion dollars into the industry that is responsible for this mess, while ignoring the auto industry, would be a devastating failure.

Big Mistake: Bob Gates at Defense
(8 comments) With Bob Gates as secretary of Defense and Hillary Clinton as secretary of State, what is shaping up is a reunion of strong supporters of the Iraq war. Judgment is not a factor, as promised: Both were wrong on Iraq early and long. Nor is loyalty. Nor is clarity. Nor is principle. I must dissent.

Obama for America
(5 comments) The great truth about Obama is that he believes, in the core of his soul, in the American idea that would be the heartbeat of his presidency. We are in this together. We will rise to the occasion with common purpose.

Goldwater, Eisenhower, Buckley and Powell for Obama

Limbaugh, Palin, Bachmann: Three Musketeers of McCarthyism
Led by McCain in 2008, the Three Musketeers of this new McCarthyism (Limbaugh, Palin, Bachmann) are essentially attacking the Americanism of more than half the nation, the ultimate conclusion of the fear, smear and division politics of their mentor, the discredited and inept George W. Bush.

McCain Lies; Powell Endorses; 3 Million Obama Donors Rally
(1 comments) The battle is joined. Within 24 hours John McCain told more lies about Obama, claiming he was for socialism. Colin Powell wielded the big bat for Barack with a powerful endorsement of Obama's presidential temperament and character and an equally powerful condemnation of McCain's lowball negativity.

John McCain: The Mount Vesuvius of Mud
(1 comments) Equity markets collapse. Credit markets are strangled. Economic pain skyrockets. Global markets shake. And John McCain campaigns on Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, pit bulls with lipstick, slanders, smears, falsehoods, lies and fear - a Mount Vesuvius of mud that will drag Republicans to defeat. Barack Obama will win because faced with this deluge of dirt, he stands tall as an oak with his dignity, cool and calm.

Fox News Attacks 'Lesbian Air America Host'
(10 comments) The sickness and dementia of a purported news network airing with smug laughs and happy chortles a naked appeal to hatred and bigotry in this attack on "a lesbian Air America host" is a low that even a Republican cable organization like Fox should never stoop to. This is war, Barack Obama, and you had better fight back.

Spiro Palin vs. Hillary and the Democratic Women
(3 comments) The McCain convention ended with the theme all white, far right. Now comes the charge of Hillary Clinton and the Democratic women who will fight for economic opportunity for all, who will lift people up regardless of race, gender and nationality, and who champion the idea that Sarah Palin does not represent a glass ceiling to be broken, but an iron chain of reactionary policies around the necks of average Americans.

PUMA: Party Unity, My America
(3 comments) As the lion in winter brings tears to the eyes and a convention to its feet as Ted Kennedy passes the torch to Barack Obama; as Michelle Obama brings light to the eyes of Democrats with an all-American story about the dreams that do come true, the battle in earnest has begun.

Biden: Barack Obama acted like a president
(1 comments) Here is a big thought about Barack Obama: He usually takes a while, but then gets the big decisions right. The pundits will soon label Biden "the good Cheney," but the truth is far different. Obama has a world vision;

Who Will Replace Dick Cheney?
(3 comments) Let's have a serious talk about America and set aside the punditry, the pageantry and the pap of an election year that has become a festival of slander and a feast of mediocrity led by a media that is incapable of serious discussion of serious issues at a serious moment for the nation.

John McCain on Russia: Angry, Bellicose, Belligerent and Extreme
John McCain needs to calm down, stop telling the world he speaks for the American people, stop escalating his warlike rhetoric almost by the hour, and stop the phony tough talk that makes a bad situation worse and would only heighten the danger at a dangerous enough moment.

McCain, Media Allies Play the Uppity Black Card
(2 comments) Recently I challenged what I called three McCain lies about Obama and wounded troops. Today I challenge a lie that was included in the recent Washington Post column by Dana Milbank, repeated without correction many times, and used by Joe Scarborough and others to demean Obama.

McCain Lies About Obama and Wounded Troops
(9 comments) John McCain personally told Larry King that Barack Obama wanted to bring reporters, cameras and campaign aides to a meeting with wounded troops in Germany. It is an outrage that many in the media, whom McCain has long called part of his political base, fail to report this story with integrity, clarity, facts and truth.

McCain Slanders Obama, Scarborough Slanders Olbermann
(9 comments) the latest in a long list of cheap-shot, low-blow politics. McCain has learned nothing about why the American people are rejecting the Republicans and why the Republican brand has been compared to the appeal of defective dog food. This morning, right-wing former congressman Joe Scarborough essentially said that Keith Olbermann is "too stupid to be on television."

Cable's Psychosexual Clinton Disorder
Listening to the weird, strange and obsessive discussion about Bill and Hillary Clinton on cable talk shows, one can only conclude that counseling and treatment is required in certain cases, and turning the channel is required in others.

Forget Wright - The Super Surge to Obama Has Begun
(6 comments) While the pundits, never missing an opportunity to be wrong, are enraptured by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the party has already begun a powerful and profound movement of superdelegates to Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.).

Hillary Will Withdraw and Her Stature Soars
(10 comments) Ignore everything you hear on cable talk shows. This is what will happen, and why. First, sometime between the days after the Pennsylvania primary and the days after North Carolina and Indiana, Hillary Clinton will drop out of the presidential campaign, endorse Obama, and watch her stature among Democrats and independents soar.

Tuesday, March 25, 2008
Government of National Unity
Democrats should demand an end to attack campaigning by presidential candidates, and offer the nation a unity program of historic economic reconstruction to win a historic landslide victory. If superdelegates act like potted plants and allow this campaign to fall farther into the abyss, and then try to steal the nomination from the winner of elected contests in favor of the loser, after a campaign of personal destruction...

Which Hillary Will Debate Tonight?
Hillary Clinton champions her 35 years of experience and has been running for president forever. After New Hampshire she claimed she found her voice, which apparently was racially oriented rhetoric from her campaign, for which she has now apologized.

Ted Kennedy and Caroline Kennedy Pass the Torch
Robert Kennedy often quoted Dante that the hottest places in hell are for those who in times of crisis maintain their neutrality. For Caroline Kennedy and for Ted Kennedy, the 2008 campaign was no time to maintain neutrality. They did not calculate the odds or hold out for the best offer or take the easy and convenient path

Will Kennedy or Gore Lift Obama to the Nomination?
(1 comments) Strangely silent in the Democratic nominating process are the Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig of Democratic politics: Ted Kennedy and Al Gore. They are both standing on deck, wielding the big bat. Will they step up to the plate and swing for the fences on behalf of a candidate?

Friday, January 11, 2008
The Last Stand of John Edwards
(3 comments) John Edwards has a chance to thoroughly win the upcoming debates with a smaller number of candidates and a greater chance to get out his message, but he must retool the message. Angry populism alone does not win presidential campaigns, and he had every chance in Iowa, where he virtually lived for six years, and it did not happen.

Obamism: The Politics of Hope in the Year of the Political Independent
(2 comments) Americans will be astonished and amazed at the outpouring of idealism, inspiration, hope and good will that will flow like a mighty river when the Age of Bush is finally ended. The next great historic political realignment is at hand, comparable to the Democratic realignment brought by Franklin Roosevelt and the Republican realignment brought by Ronald Reagan.

Rock the Vote: To Iowans for Biden, Dodd, Richardson, Kucinich, Paul and Gore
(6 comments) If Obama and Edwards finish first and second in Iowa, the closed process opens, and the voice of the disenfranchised majority will be heard. Our democracy will be replenished with the only restoration that matters, the restoration of the Democratic Party as the party of the people, and the restoration of our democratic government being of the people, for the people, and by the people.

Born In The U.S.A.
(8 comments) In an upcoming 60 Minutes Bruce Springsteen will advance a profound debate about the true nature of Americanism. It is time for progressives to light up the sky with patriotism, to rewrite the rules of our current debates, to rekindle that timeless spirit that has made America America for more than two hundred years.

The War
(3 comments) Imagine if FDR addressed the world and vowed to answer Pearl Harbor by invading Ethiopia. Imagine if battleships were burning at Pearl Harbor and FDR summoned Americans to go shopping, while his partisans prepared negative ads attacking leaders of the opposition who were awarded bronze and silver stars for valor.

How Hillary Clinton Can End the Iraq War, Speak for the American Military and Kill Osama Bin Laden
(3 comments) Right now our leaders are headed towards a toothless worthless compromise. What I am suggesting here is we reverse the play, that WE filibuster war funding to force troop cuts and if we get 41 Senators, we win.

Bring Troops Home by Christmas and Bring More Home Next Year
The tide has turned as the truth emerges. There is a reason the overwhelming weight of military leadership opinion is to initiate troop reductions. The war and the escalation have done extreme damage to the American military, to our force structures and deterrence capability around the world, and to the composition of our military itself as standards are lowered so far that obese criminals are recruited for combat duty.

Many Democrats Wrong on Iraq, Again
(1 comments) Many Democrats are again missing the first principle of the matter and treating Iraq in political and tactical terms. The latest view from Democrats is to adopt their politics and tactics around the proposition that the Iraq escalation is working but the Iraq leaders are not.

Gilded Age Crime: Poor Go Homeless, Wealthy Get Bailouts
(3 comments) When the banks, hedge funds and private equity firms make bad deals, they keep the personal profits, while the corporate profits are protected by bailouts. Meanwhile, when the average Americans in the middle class, or the poor, fall a little behind, they get the boot, they lose their jobs, they are thrown into the street without homes and often without food.

The Battle for the Soul and Spine of the Democratic Party
(2 comments) The old establishment is composed of the Democratic pollsters and consultants who told Democrats to support the Iraq war and, only days ago, to let Republicans gut the American Constitution. The old establishment parades to the cable networks and editorial boards on behalf of their candidate, telling the world that the Democratic nomination is over and decided.

Super-Disaster Tuesday ahead
2008 began as a perfectly rational system, with Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina giving voters in diverse states an opportunity to seriously consider the candidates. Then, 2008 degenerated into a nuclear arms race, with one megastate after another elbowing each other until we have a giant blob at the front end, which disenfranchises every state that comes later and makes a mockery of serious dialogue

Ask what you can do for your country
(2 comments) Democrats can win a great landslide in 2008 to bring a Democratic president, Democratic Congress, and new era of patriotic reform and renewal similar to the years of FDR and JFK. A JFK-like call to action will rouse a nation ready for revival.

Speaker Pelosi Is 100% Right About Syria
(1 comments) With the administration of the most failed and catastrophic national-security policy in history in full-throated attack demeaning the Speaker, and mainstream media as usual parroting the attack with minimal response for the first 24 hours, it is time to make this case: The Speaker is absolutely right and it is important to consider exactly why.

Reid And Pelosi Have Bush Flanked
(1 comments) America, Iraq and the Middle East may have entered a profound and historical turning point. At this moment, the Reid-Pelosi flanking maneuver is brilliant and powerful. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) moves aggressively to turn around the military escalation, while House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) moves aggressively to support Middle East peace initiatives.

Valerie Plame Stands Tall
(2 comments) I know and admire Valerie Plame and consider her an American hero, an American patriot, and an invaluable national resource in defeating global terrorism who has been compromised by shameless and despicable acts, by partisans and ideologues. The president of the United States owes Valerie Plame and every covert officer a profound apology.

U.S, Should Name Sandra Day O'Connor To Investigate Iraq Rape Allegations
(6 comments) There are now multiple reports from Sunni women that they have been raped by men serving in Iraqi forces. It is possible these allegations are contrived propananda. It is possible these allegations are true. It is inexcusable and shameful that Prime Minister Maliki has begun attacking the women.

Brent Budowsky: Letter to Senators Hagel, Warner, and all Senate Republicans
(3 comments) For four years, you said no and voted yes. For four years, you enabled policies in war you knew were wrong. For four years, the failure became more deadly, the carnage became more ugly, the casualties became more painful, the damage to our troops and our country and our credibility around the world, and our military force structures, and our deterrent, and our national unity became more grave and extreme.

Hate Versus Hope, On The Blogs, And All Media
(19 comments) There is too much hate from the Bush believers and from the media arsenal of the right. But there is also too much hate in response, from some who we consider friends. It is understandable, but it is wrong, and it hurts our cause, as much as our opponent's.

Senator Hagel: If He Declares Independence He Will Change The World.

The State Of The Union: A President Who Is No Longer The Leader Of The Free World

At the top of the list will be: the Free Press That Wasn't. All the news that's fit to print: if you want to drive the country to war and carnage through fear and lies, take the front page of the New York Times to lunch, and they will print it.

Democratic Leaders Take Charge, Joe Biden Stands Tall, The Surge Battle Is Joined
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senator Joe Biden should receive standing ovations and support for joining the battle and opposing the surge. From the very beginning of this war, the greatest dereliction of duty is that there have not been high level resignations in protest from either civilian or uniformed officers who knew these disastrous policies were disastrous, but played along.

The Decider Lays Down The Law, Reid and Pelosi Should Lay It Right Back
Democratic Leaders might remind the President that bipartisanship does not mean the President makes unilateral and preemptive decisions to escalate the war, and then open the New Year by threatening the Party the people elected, with charges of stalemate, if the Party upholds what the voters decided.

Everyone Is Losing This Insane War. U.S. Should Champion A Cease Fire
(2 comments) The U.S. is losing the war. The Sunnis are losing the war. The Shi'ites are losing the war. The people of Iraq are losing the war. The civilians who get slaughtered are losing the war. This is a war in which everyone is losing, yet everyone confinues. It is insane.

The First Catastrophic President In American History Says: "Not Satisfied With The Pace Of Progress In Iraq"
