Obama's Health Care Waterloo

Sotomayor's Problem isn't being Too Latina; It's Having Hung with White Suits Too Long

On Torture and War, Obama Sounds Increasingly, and Disturbingly, Like Bush
(33 comments) Obama might legitimately argue against releasing more torture photos if he were also having the Justice Department pursue prosecution of those who authorized the torture. But since he's opposing prosecution, his position on the photos is nothing but an obscene and illegal cover-up.

Captains of Industry Don't Go Down with the Ship
(3 comments) Like the captain of the Titanic, the heads of GM are fleeing the ship before the workers can get in the lifeboats. So much for noblesse oblige.

Obama is Cutting Sen. Specter Too Much Slack
(1 comments) Sen. Specter is in a vulnerable position right now with his Republican backers feeling betrayed, and with state Democrats unsure how real a Democrat he is. It's not time to offer him support. It's time to demand that he offer it.

Sen. Specter Joins Dems, Puts Party on the Spot
(3 comments) No more excuses for Congressional Dems, now that Sen. Arlen Specter is switching back to being a Democrat, and Al Franken is looking to take over former Sen.

(2 comments) John Walker Lindh was buried away under a 20-year gag order in federal prison by the Bush/Cheney administration to hide evidence that he was the first victim of a new program of torture of detainees.

Are Members of Congress (and Maybe Even the President) Being Blackmailed?

Credit Where Credit is Due, But What's This "Enemies" BS?
(4 comments) It's great that Obama is breaking down the absurd barrier between the US and Cuba, but he won't get far if he keeps referring to Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela as "hostile" states or "enemies."

Obama, Seeing Darkness, Conjures Up the Mists of Time
(3 comments) When crimes are committed in your name by your country, you cannot say that you are "moving on." You must root out those crimes.

It's April 15: Time to Pay for War, Killing and Oppression Once Again
(10 comments) As you're signing that tax form and sticking the envelope into the mail, you need to know that 22% of your payment is a war tax. It gives another meaning to the term "death and taxes".

Tuesday, March 24, 2009
Treasury and the Fed Don't Need New Powers, They Need to Use the Power They Have
(4 comments) The Justice Dept. and the FTC already have the power to break up AIG. And before Geithner gets more power, he and Bernanke should use the power they already have, and break up the big banks, instead of bailing them out.

Obama Administration Careening Towards Disaster (and Taking the Country With It)
(20 comments) What we're witnessing in the Obama bank rescue plan is IGL: Incomprehensibly Grand Larceny, not a rescue. These are banks that need to die.

Obama's Moment is Passing Quickly
(16 comments) Time is getting short for Obama to turn the US economy around and to extricate himself and us from the mess in the Middle East. A dramatic firing of his economic and military advisors offers him a last-ditch chance to recover from this administration's botched start.

Wednesday, March 18, 2009
Now We Can See Why Open Government Is the Only Way to Go
(10 comments) The talk about AIG bonuses is a diversion. The real crime is the bailout itself, which our increasingly secretive government, a captive media and a somnolent public have made possible.

Hitch-Hiker's Guide to a Better Society: Bring Back the Thumb!

Business Rules: No Democracy, No Decency, No Unions

Kiss the Banks Goodbye and Refocus on Rebuilding the American People

Tuesday, March 3, 2009
Obama and Holder Must Prosecute War Crimes or Become Guilty of Them Themselves

America's Stupid Health Care Debate: Keeping Some Ideas Off the Table
(18 comments) It is nothing short of idiotic that discussion about reforming America's out-of-control and failed health care mess will not consider the successful government-run system just across the border to our north in Canada.

Wednesday, February 25, 2009
Obama's Address: Smooth? Yes. Transformative? No.
(14 comments) His most powerfully delivered line was actually lifted from President Bush: The US does not torture!" And it is just about as empty as it was the first time it was said, given the president's refusal to prosecute the torturers in the last administration.

Tuesday, February 24, 2009
Wall Street and Bernanke: The Blind Leading the Blind
(2 comments) Honestly? Can anyone really be taking Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke seriously as an economic prognosticator?

Monday, February 23, 2009
Confronting Two Big Lies: A Strategy for Democratic Revival
(10 comments) Bi-partisanship is the wrong tactic for reforming healthcare and for defending Social Security. Both these problems call for an aggressive, uncompromising stand, and offer a strategy for progressives moving forward beyond the current economic crisis.

Organize! Many Employers are Just Using the Recession to Stick it to Workers
(4 comments) Employers, public and private, even when they aren't hurting, are using the recession as an excuse to fire workers and make the remaining staff work harder. Only unions can help workers fight back.

Whatever Happened to Antitrust?
(6 comments) "Too big to fail" should mean "too big to exist." It's time for the trust busters to return to Washington. No more big banks, no more big car companies, no more big oil, no more big military firms. Bust 'em all up!

Friday, February 13, 2009
Why Can Sen. Judd Gregg See What Obama Can't?

Worse than Madoff: Putting Kids Away for Kickbacks
(2 comments) Worse than ripping off people's savings is a scandal where two PA judges are alleged to have sent 110s of young kids to juvenile detention for pranks and minor hijinks in return for kickbacks from two private detention centers. The question is, how widespread is this?

Sen. Leahy's and Rep. Conyers' Truth Commission Could Work but...
(5 comments) Handled properly, and backed by a serious threat and intent to prosecute liars and stonewallers, a Truth and Reconciliation Commission for Bush administration crimes could be a great idea.

The Third-Party Delusion and the Need for a Mass Movement for Progressive Change
(26 comments) People who criticize efforts to pressure Obama and the Democrats with charges of 'sell-outs' and calls for a third party are simply engaging in infantile formalism. It is mass movements, not third parties, that make change, and we need a mass movement.

This Nation Needs a Fighter in the White House, not a Gabber and Glad-Hander
(17 comments) Obama needs to turn to his inner Chicago pol and become a fighter. He needs to stop dissing his progressive base. He needs to start carrying a big stick and whacking his opponents. If he doesn't, his presidency will be another Carter/Clinton-style failure.

Friday, February 6, 2009
Gloomy Outlook from Business Experts
(9 comments) Obama is only getting economic advice from one side of the political and economic spectrum. That's not a "team of rivals," it's a cheering section. Here are some dissenters he should be listening to.

Follow the Money
(8 comments) Are taxpayers on the hook for hundreds of billions of dollars for a credit crisis that may have been overblown? Who is the bailout really helping? Did Paulson and Bernanke lie when they claimed there was a credit freeze?

Wednesday, January 28, 2009
The Ugly Truth: America's Economy is Not Coming Back
(66 comments) Obama is quick to say the economy won't recover quickly. He is not being forthright, though, and saying that it is never coming back to the way it was.

Monday, January 26, 2009
Obama Wake-Up Call: Afghanistan is No Threat to US
(10 comments) How can anyone believe Afghanistan, one of the poorest countries in the world, and really hardly a country actually, poses any threat to America? And yet, a wider war there could destroy the Obama presidency.

Friday, January 23, 2009
The Way Forward on Holding the Bush/Cheney Administration Accountable for its Crimes
(11 comments) Impeachment didn't happen, and indictment, however richly deserved, isn't likely. But a Truth & Reconciliation Commission could accomplish the same thing, and might even lead to some prosecutions.

Tuesday, January 20, 2009
This Land Really IS Made for You and Me!
(6 comments) Censored from our schools, banned from the media, Woody Guthrie's alternative national anthem made it in full into the national consciousness yesterday, when the once blacklisted Pete Seeger let 'er rip on the Lincoln Memorial steps.

Obama and Congress Must Act to Restore the Constitution
(24 comments) There can be no "moving forward" when it comes to Bush/Cheney crimes and abuses of power. Restoring Constitutional government requires a full reckoning of those crimes--and punishment for committing them.

Only Rats Get Fat as Misdirected Bailout and Stimulus Funds go Down the Rat Hole
(2 comments) The bailout has been wasted so far, and it looks like Obama and Congress want to waste another trillion dollars or more, enriching bankers while leaving the economy and most Americans in the ditch.

Tuesday, January 13, 2009
Get the Other Side of the Gaza Invasion Story
(24 comments) Because of an Israeli ban on journalists in Gaza to monitor its actions, the only live reports and video coming from Gaza are from three reporters from Al Jazeera's English channel, available around the world, but pretty much unavailable in America thanks to US pressure on cable companies to leave it out.

Monday, January 12, 2009
Israel's Gaza Atrocities Recall America's Atrocities in Vietnam
(7 comments) Massive killing of women and children, shooting up of ambulances, use of White Phosphorus bombs--and the denials by Israel's military--it all sounds like the Pentagon in Vietnam. A new book reminds us of what US troops really did there.

Thursday, January 8, 2009
Time for Obama and Us to Face the Economic and Political Music
(4 comments) Obama is being forced to push hard for a stimulus package because Congress already let the Bush/Cheney administration waste trillions on a Wall Street bailout. Now we need realism from the new president, not more salesmanship.

Monday, January 5, 2009
When It Comes to Terrorism and POW Cases, Equal Justice Under the Law is a Joke
(5 comments) Why do American POWs captured by North Korea get awarded $65 million for their ordeal, while a Canadian, falsely grabbed by the CIA as a "terrorist" and sent off to Syria to be tortured isn't even allowed to sue?

Thursday, January 1, 2009
2009 is Starting Off with a Shameful and Criminal Bang
(15 comments) A nation and a people that provides the arms to a country guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity is equally guilty of those crimes. This is not the best way for Americans to start a new year.

Will 'Tough Guy' Dick Cheney Cop Out as Usual and Take a Pardon?
(12 comments) Dick Cheney has always been a coward who ducked responsibility if it might make his life harder. So expect him to grab the lifeline of a pardon rather than to defend his convictions in court. He'll let others pay for his crimes.

Friday, December 19, 2008
White House Lied About Iraqi Yellowcake Buy, But That's Not the Biggest Scandal
(13 comments) No big surprise in Congressional report that the White House lied about the Iraq yellowcake purchase story. What we still need is an honest explanation from pro-war members of Congress as to why such a story could have ever been accepted as grounds for a war.

Thursday, December 18, 2008
Prosecuting Bush and Cheney for Torture: No One Can Be Above the Law
(17 comments) The conventional media is wrong to be giving Obama a pass on prosecuting Bush and Cheney. A crime is a crime and no president has the right to decide whether to prosecute on political grounds.

Muntadar al-Zaidi Did What We Journalists Should Have Done Long Ago
(27 comments) It took an Iraqi journalist to shatter the complacent tradition of awed respect that has reduced the White House travelling press corps to mush. Al-Zaidi threw his shoes for all of us.

A Car Dealer Explains Why the Bailout is a Raw Deal
(1 comments) There's money to lend at the nation's small banks, but nobody has the confidence to borrow. The bailout money's going to the wrong place--big banks instead of the little people who need it.

Thursday, December 4, 2008
Takin' It to City Halls and Statehouses, Not Just to the DC Streets
(1 comments) Protesting in DC isn't getting us anywhere, but with towns and cities and states going bust, it's time to press local and state officials to call for a big cut in the military budget.

Monday, December 1, 2008
A Tale of Two Terror Attacks
(10 comments) When terrorists attacked the US, the US immediately launched two wars, both aimed at the wrong targets. It never conducted a transparent investigation into the attacks. Yet India is being urged by the US not to act hastily, and to conduct a "transparent" investigation into its most recent terror attack. Why the difference?

Department of Homeland Lunacy
I am not a terrorist. I've been cleared by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, for a cost of $30 on my credit card.

Tuesday, November 25, 2008
Does Anybody Else Think Getting America Shopping Again is Crazy Talk?
(18 comments) The last thing we need to do is get everyone back into the malls. We need to reconstruct society so we aren't all just "consumers," but are once again human beings and citizens.

Idiots and Bailouts
(6 comments) The bailout of GM is going to happen, and it will fail, because the inmates are running the asylum at the company, and they'll just get more money to continue to do it.

One-Sided Propaganda 'Journalism' About a Destabilizing Boondoggle
(5 comments) If we're throwing hundreds of billions at the banks, we can at least stop throwing tens of billions more at Star Wars. Obama should kill that Reagan-era boondoggle immediately, including the idea of basing anti-missile missiles in Poland.

Obama's First Big Mistake on the Job: Rescuing Sen. Joe Lieberman
(19 comments) Joe Lieberman must not be allowed back into the Democratic Senate caucus without a full apology to his Democratic colleagues and to the voters of his state, who went 2:1 for Obama.

'Too Big to Fail' Has an Easy Answer: Anti-Trust or Public Control and Ownership
(21 comments) In the bank bailouts and the proposed auto industry bailout, we are getting state ownership without state control--the worst of all possible worlds. What we need is either state control, or aggressive trust-busting.

Friday, November 7, 2008
President-Elect Obama and Getting the Change We Deserve
(1 comments) Forget about the lousy Obama White House appointments. They were to be expected. Change isn't going to come because of an election. We need to organize, to march, to protest, and to fight for Change.

The End is at Hand (to Leftist Conspiracy Theories)

Fun Thoughts: Messin' With Republicans
(2 comments) Democrats don't need to win 10 senate seats to get a filibuster- and Lieberman-proof majority. They can subtract three or even four senators from the Republican tally easily, by appointing them to administration posts.

Friday, October 24, 2008
I'm Calling the Race for Obama
(3 comments) Obama has got the racist vote now, too. That's on top of the women's vote, the white male vote, the middle-aged vote, the working class vote, and the ferret-owners-who-sleep-late vote. I'm ready to make a prediction.

Monday, October 20, 2008
Perfora Cariño, Perfora!
(3 comments) I am just waiting for the hearing in Congress where the execs from Exxon/Mobil and from Texaco sit there praising the virtues of lifting the embargo on Cuba so the wonders of our "free enterprise" culture can be brought to the Cuban people (and so they can get their mitts on Cuba's new oil fields).

Wednesday, October 15, 2008
Why I'm Voting for Barack Obama on November 4
(26 comments) Obama is a flawed candidate but there is no left option that is not simply a protest vote, and with global warming looming and with an opportunity to rescue the Supreme Court and to restore the labor movement the risk of a McCain/Palin administration is just too great to take.

Tuesday, October 14, 2008
Egad! Is the Government Going Socialist?
(4 comments) The Bush administration, Congress and our two major-party presidential candidates are so busy making sure no one can accuse them of being socialists while they buy up the banking industry that they are giving away the store.

Beyond Boondoggles
The Pentagon spent $600 on a toilet seat it could have bought for $12. The Bush Treasury just paid $123.5 billion for 80 percent of an insurance company they could have bought outright for $7 billion. Which was worse?

The Revolution that Failed
(10 comments) It was exciting while it lasted, but big money won over a flood of phone calls and emails in "the People's House." Somewhere on Wall Street a banker is grinning.

No Surprise in the Senate Bailout Vote
(2 comments) Four days after the House, under public pressure, rejected a Wall Street bailout, the Senate did what it's inventors designed it to do: it voted for the ruling elite and passed a bailout. Now the public needs to rise up and make the House kill this monstrous ripoff bill for good.

Wednesday, October 1, 2008
We Need to Demand Hearings!
(7 comments) Remember the War on Terror? Remember the Patriot Act? Remember the authorization for War against Iraq? What do they have in common? Congress got rushed into a vote with no hearings. Now it's the bailout. See a pattern? We have to stop the rush and demand full hearings.

Tuesday, September 30, 2008

Iraq All Over Again: Bush, Paulson and Bernanke are Just Crying Wolf

Corporate Media Journalists Just Love Rich Guys

Hang On to Your Wallet! The Government is About to Rescue Us
(8 comments) The "rescue" of Wall Street from itself is not about helping us, it's about helping them, and we're paying. The real answer is to chop them all--banks, investment banks and insurance companies--back down to size so they can fail and hurt nobody but themselves and their investors.

Does Anyone Want to Buy a Private Pension Plan? Going Once...
With $100 billion vanishing overnight only a week after the collapse of two quasi-governmental mortgage giants, asking people to back privatization of Social Security is a harder sell than trying to get a rube to buy the Brooklyn Bridge. Ask huckster John McCain.

McCain/Palin Campaign Relies on Lazy Thinking and Prejudice to Win

Palin: The Real 'American Taliban'
(3 comments) Sarah Palin, who put her nomination ahead of the welfare of her pregnant daughter, appears to be a fanatic, a kind of Christian "imom," who wants to foist her rabid morals on not just America's teens, but on all of us.

Remembering When the Government Was at Least Approachable
(4 comments) Now even the Democrats and Obama's Conventioneers are adopting the Bush/Cheney administration's tactic of fencing in protesters into "free-speech zones." Imperial government is here to stay, but it is worth remembering it wasn't always that way.

Loserville: Obama Is Channeling Kerry and Gore
(18 comments) It's not McCain or his campaign's attacks. It's Obama himself, and his loser advisers, who are to blame for Obama's slide in the polls. If he doesn't throw them out and campaign as a progressive, anti-war candidate, he'll be the Democrats' third strike out in a row.

Keeping Count (When Ours Goes Down, Theirs Goes Up)
(2 comments) A focus on American losses in the wars in Iraq and Afganistan isn't just immoral--it is encouraging the US military and the Bush administration to shift to indiscriminate use of air power to cut US casualties, in the process killing more innocents in those countries.

Wednesday, July 2, 2008
Nobody's Hero: My War Story
(4 comments) Not a hero, and not a soldier, but I did at least try to stand for my principles when it mattered--which is more than can be said for our president and VP, and most of the crew that manufactured a five-year war in Iraq that has killed hundreds of thousands.

More Blood Money from Our Democratic Congress and Democratic Presidential Candidate
(3 comments) Dems in Congress didn't have to pass a war funding bill in order to get extended unemployment and veterans' education benefits. Those measures could have been passed on their own merits. What these sleezeballs wanted was cover for passing a bill continuing to fund the wars.

America has a Double Standard When It Comes to Kids. Victims if Prostitutes, Terrorists if They Are Caught Fighting the
(1 comments) Get caught underage working in a brothel in America and you're a victim. Get caught up as a child in a civil war in Africa, and you're a victim. Get caught up on the wrong side in a war against the US though, and you're a "terrorist" and an "enemy combatant," and whatever we do to you, inclulding torture and maybe even execution, is just fine.

Keeping America Safe from Child "Terrorists"
(1 comments) We're told that the government's military tribunals, timed for the election season, are to convict the "worst of the worst" terrorists, but one man on trial, Omar Khadr, was picked up at 15. His "crime"? Tossing a grenade during a battle in Afghanistan.

Whiners, Poor Losers and Why Hillary Shouldn't Be Barack's VP
(8 comments) Blacks have always been expected to stick with Democratic candidates, no matter who won the nomination. Some of Hillary's backers don't feel that obligation. In their bitterness at losing, they're ready to bolt for a war-mongering, wife-dumping, Scalia-worshipping anti-abortionist.

Politicians, Kids and an Audacious Hope
Kennedy had young kids and he ended open-air nuclear tests. Weicker had a young kid and he opposed the Vietnam War. Obama has young kids, and that gives me some hope he'll do the right thing too.

The New Media (and Clinton) Story Line: Democrats Need to Worry about Obama
(5 comments) West Virginia's primary is not indicative of the views of most of the nation's voters. Saying it is both insults most American workers and reflects on the self-interest of both Clinton and the media in pretending there is still a contest for the Democratic nomination.

Clinton Courted Racists in the Pennsylvania Primary
(13 comments) It's one thing to vote for someone of your race or sex or religion, because you identify with them. It's another to say you'd never vote for someone of a certain race (or sex or religion).

In Praise of Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground
