(AlJazeera) – The voting is over and President Obama has won a second term. This election took place against a background of rallies and conventions, social media, biting political satire, and billions of dollars of television commercials blanketing the airwaves. Through it all, the debate on the role of the federal government became increasingly polarised. The US has not been this divided since perhaps the civil war. But this is a battle that has been brewing for decades. Read the rest of this entry »

(GlobalResearch) – A hearty group of protesters representing several community organizations showed up today to protest the vote of civil rights icon and Member of Congress from Atlanta, John Lewis, to continue funding for the bombing of Libya.  The Congressman interrupted his schedule and heard the frustrations of his constituents who are outraged at  the quiescence of Congress, the Congressional Black Caucus, and the Progressive Caucus in light of President Obama’s policy to bomb Africa.  As we were meeting with the Congressman, President Obama was addressing the country on national television defending his actions in Libya.  The Congressman reiterated his antipathy to war by saying that “war is obsolete.”  The group asked the Congressman to be unequivocal in future votes and deny funding for President Obama’s current wars.

(WarIsACrime) – Since 2008, both the Bush and Obama Administrations spent hundreds of billions – by some estimates, up to TRILLIONS – of dollars bailing out Wall Street investors, banks and industrial firms. Much was said about the need to provide a stimulus to the economy, with the public understanding that job creation would follow the infusion of cash into these sectors. But thus far, there has been little impact on unemployment, and there is no light at the end of the tunnel for the unemployed. Read the rest of this entry »

President Obama’s response to the tragedy in Haiti has been robust in military deployment and puny in what the Haitians need most: food; first responders and their specialized equipment; doctors and medical facilities and equipment; and engineers, heavy equipment, and heavy movers. Sadly, President Obama is dispatching Presidents Bush and Clinton, and thousands of Marines and U.S. soldiers. By contrast, Cuba has over 400 doctors on the ground and is sending in more; Cubans, Argentinians, Icelanders, Nicaraguans, Venezuelans, and many others are already on the ground working–saving lives and treating the injured. Senegal has offered land to Haitians willing to relocate to Africa. Read the rest of this entry »

Last night, President Obama announced both his decision to add 30,000 U.S. troops to the mire in Afghanistan and his desire to see other countries and N.A.T.O. match his surge. Thanks to U.S. taxpayers, mercenaries will continue to be a part of the foreign presence in Afghanistan. The Republicans support the President’s move and are expected to reward President Obama with the bulk of their Congressional votes to pass his plan. Read the rest of this entry »

President Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize was not the only news yesterday. And in my opinion, it’s not even the biggest news. It’s not even the saddest news. But it does provide us with some critical information as we move forward.
