I've been watching

Tavis Smiley’s - “State of Black America”

which has been on C-Span all day today, both prior to, and after Obama’s speech. I was struck before Obama's speech, and have always been impressed with the enormous number of great orators the Black community have. They speak without written speeches, just off the cuff, and Obama pales in comparison to the majority of them.

I'm not dissing Obama, just rather bemused at the fuss over him.

"A Long, Tough Job

By Wesley K. Clark

Friday, September 14, 2001

America is indeed at war. The attacks in New York and Washington have raised the dangers posed by international terrorism to a new level. But despite the awful familiarity of the devastation in New York and Washington, an effective U.S. response is likely to be something new and unfamiliar.

The Honorable George W. Bush

”Bush’s salon revolutionaries plot an Iran coup via London Sunday Times


(It seems, as usual, that Bush and Cheney don't care what anyone in the world says, or what they think about these warmongers, they are determined to start another war.)

”Bush’s salon revolutionaries plot an Iran coup
Michael Pinto-Duschinsky
Washington think tanks are pushing for the toppling of another regime

For me the alarm bells began to ring in the unlikely surroundings of the ancient Trout Inn near Oxford. A senior Republican party foreign affairs insider, as hawkish as they come and a staunch backer of the Iraq war, made a bitter complaint about the incompetence of George W Bush’s international policy. If my Republican friend is so critical, I thought, the US president must be in real trouble.

Bush Authorized Libby NIE Release to Press


From FDL

"Bush Authorized Libby NIE Release to Press
By Christy Hardin Smith

The latest filing in the Libby case is a doozy, according to the NYSun this morning. If Libby was being truthful in his testimony about this, and if Cheney wasn’t misleading him in his assertion that President Bush authorized Libby to leak selected portions of the NIE to the press (specifically Judy Miller), then I think we’ve discovered a very good reason for Fitz to have met with the President’s attorney just prior to Libby’s indictment.

The memo, written by pollster Jan van Lohuizen for RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman, demonstrates the internal debate about whether to embrace Bush or avoid him. There's a lot of good stuff in there, but I'd like to focus on aspect of the memo:
