Why I Disagree with Hedges and Nader on Obama
 Many of the specific failures highlighted by the article I sent out yesterday by Chris Hedges criticizing the performance of the Obama Administration are legitimate points. But the way Hedges's positions are stated, and the conclusions drawn from them are not the path of spiritual progressives, in my view.T

We tried to warn Obama, but he wouldn't listen The defeat of the Democrats' choice to succeed Ted Kennedy in the U.S. Senate is being treated as though there is a decided shift of mass opinion to the Right in the U.S. But it is the Obama Administration, not the people who supported him in 2008, which moved to the Right--in the name of being pragmatists or realists-- in the process emptying their own agenda.

World's Religious Leaders Mourn the Obama Escalation in Afghanstan Many of the world's religious leaders at the Parliament of World Religions in Australia are in partial mourning for the dream of a new world that President Obama promised, and decisively torpedoed in his announcement of major escalation of military forces in Afghanistan. There's widespread disillusionment with Obama.

Obama's Declining Popularity While Obama is still hailed around the world in almost messianic tones, recent polls indicate his approval rate is below 50% in the U.S. How could a man who aroused so much hope be losing support so dramatically? And what lessons can be learned for politicians all around the world?

Building on the Hopeful Aspects of Obama's Health Care Speech and Helping Him Get Beyond the Incoherency of Parts of His President Obama has not enamored himself to progressives whom he asked to trust him. Health care reform without a public option is no reform, just profit protection for some of the greediest corporations in the land.

A Spiritual Guide for Economic Bailout The Democrats are wasting the opportunity this crisis gives us to deeply reexamine and transform our economic system. There is a lack of spiritual vision in imagining the economics we need. Let's remedy that lack!

I have cancer. . . and yes, you can help me deal with it In late January the results of a biopsy showed that I have a relatively rare form of lung cancer (I've never smoked). The doctors believe that this cancer may be "stage one" and hence could be treated through surgery, and I might be able to avoid chemotherapy or radiation treatment. People have started to ask if they can help me in some way. Well, yes, there IS something you can do that would be very helpful.

The "hate" people are back--will it work again? against Jews, against Muslims, and against Obama? The "hate" people are back, spreading disgusting lies about Obama, about all Muslims, and about all Jews. We even have been told by the American mainstream media that Sen. McCain's campaign has decided to try to make their focus on assaulting the character of Barack Obama. Some media also report that Obama is going to respond in kind.

Why is Obama Losing ...Obama handlers pushed him to be "realistic" and buy the same boring strategy that has lost most Democratic candidates their elections in the past thirty years: abandon your base and put your post-convention energies focused on an elusive "center" that barely exists.

150 Clergy Appeal to Obama In an open-letter to Senator Obama, over 150 American clergy appealed to the Democratic candidate for President to retain the ethical and spiritual vision that won him the nomination in the first place. Rejecting the "inside-the-Beltway" wisdom that a Democrat must "move to the center to win the election," the clergy disputed the very notion that this is an accurate understanding of American politics.

My Talk with the Saudis, and What I Learned from Them I had expected the World Conference on Dialogue convened by the King of Saudi Arabia to be little more than a photo op for the King, a cheap way to buy good public relations... Imagine my surprise, then, to hear the Saudi King in a language that, as one Muslim observer pointed out to me, sounded more like the New Bottom Line of the Network of Spiritual Progressives than it did like a speech of a self-absorbed monarch.
