President Barack Obama’s on-line forum: text, etc.

Posted on March 26, 2009 by kwilder

KW: I cringe to say Obama’s name here. Because if I am not angry enough, I get told that I am kissing up to our duopolist President. So, I guess I will say up front: I would never vote for Obama. He is escalating the War in Afghanistan, and I cannot tolerate that. That said. […]

President Obama and the Special Olympics

Posted on March 20, 2009 by kwilder

You may have heard that, on the Jay Leno Show, President Barack Obama made a joke about the Special Olympics. President Obama was describing his own bowling, and in a remark meant to be humble and self-deprecating, he said, “It was like Special Olympics or something.” I am very heartened to see that people noticed […]

Sunday: Some thoughts on the Power Shift conference in DC

Posted on March 1, 2009 by kwilder

So, I am observing from afar the Power Shift conference in DC with hopefulness and some healthy skepticism. I am thankful that 12,ooo or so young people cared enough about something political and environmental to show up. (So many times, among my progressive colleagues, we find ourselves saying “Where are the young people?”.) I am […]

Do we live in a rogue state?

Posted on February 27, 2009 by kwilder

Ian had noted off-blog that it sounded like we lived in a rogue nation. Recently, it seemed as if President Obama was saying that he, the elected “Commander in Chief”, was having to negotiate with the military about when to leave Iraq, and how many tens of thousands of soldiers to leave there permanently. Now, […]

Posted on February 25, 2009 by kwilder

President Obama’s speech last night

Posted on February 25, 2009 by kwilder

KW: On Tuesday, February 24th, President Obama gave a speech (which was not, technically, a “State of the Union” speech.) Ian and I could not bear to listen. Though, from the searches on our blog, I see some of our audience are interested. I will try to find more commentary around the web. But, for […]

NAACP demands removal of Col Allan (editor) & Sean Delonas (political cartoonist) from the Post

Posted on February 22, 2009 by kwilder

KW: During the Bush administration, many of my peace friends and colleagues seemed to be hounded and harassed by the Secret Service if anyone got too close or made any odd allusions to President Bush. It seems insane that someone (even a cartoonist) portrayed a symbolic shooting of the President, in an image that hundreds […]

If you are a patriot…boycott the NY Post!

Posted on February 19, 2009 by kwilder

Update: Friday morning, Feb 20th. After first asserting it had done nothing wrong, the NY Post finally made a half-hearted apology last night. There was a rally planned for this evening at 5pm, and it seems like Al Sharpton and other groups who took offense, will be mulling over the next step. The boycott is […]
