Two Reasons the Obama Victory in Arizona Immigration Lawsuit is Good for Democrats
The commentary is that the decision the Court handed Obama's Justice Department on the Arizona immigration law, will be bad for swing Democrats. But there are two reasons why that that kind of knee-jerk response is just wrong.
You Cut, I Choose: Imagining a Brighter Racial Future
Remember when some people said that Barack Obama's election meant we had gone post-racial? It really hasn't turned out that way. In the last 20 month...
Cocaine Sentencing Injustice Slightly Lessened
In true incrementalist fashion, Democrats have now made things slightly less unfair, but fell far short of actual fairness. It's as if, right after the Civil War, Congress announced that black people would now count as four-fifths of a person.
Busting White House Spin on WikiLeaks: No Leak Required
We're supposed to believe that the WikiLeaks information is "proof" that the president was right to initiate a massive escalation. If I were the president, this would be the drop-dead last argument I'd be making
Looking Behind the Numbers of House Afghanistan Vote
Yesterday the US House of Representatives failed to represent the majority of Americans who believe we should end the US led military occupation of Af...
On Energy Policy, it's Time to Channel the Tea Party
We observed a somber anniversary this Wednesday: 100 days since the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded, killing a dozen workers and setting off one of our nation's most catastrophic natural disasters.
The Meanings of Kosovo
To fair-minded Muslims willing to question the hate preachers and conspiracists in their communities, there is no better proof of America's decency than American leadership during the Kosovo crisis.
What Happens if U.S. Troops Leave Afghanistan? Not the End of the World as We Know it
The Obama administration needs to modify its "belief about the moral benefit and policy utility of nation-building." You do not have to engage in the grandiose project of nation-building in order to achieve our limited goals.
Obama's Fleeting Progressive Promise
While the direction of Obama's presidency may be difficult to explain, it has demonstrated the narrow bandwidth in which American politics occurs: a very limited policy space ranging from the center to the right.
Darkness at Noon in Arizona: Delayed, But Not Over
While a federal judge struck down important parts of Arizona's draconian immigration law today, namely the obligatory police check of immigration stat...
A Presidential Purpose on The View
The View is not necessarily a place where one would think to find the Commander-in-Chief chatting it up with a tag team of ladies. But that is exactly where President Obama will be found Thursday morning.
$3.4 Billion Up for Grabs: Who Will Get a Piece?
Education reformers across the country were almost blue in the face by Tuesday, having held their breaths since early June for the announcement of round-two finalists in a $3.4 billion federal competition.
Dan Hoyle Breathes New Life Into Real Americans
Watching what seems like a slight and sweet young man with a naturally athletic body morph into 20+ characters of varying ages, wisdom, genders, and enthusiasm is an experience you won't want to miss.
Contracting Reform Bill Will Trump Obama Jobs Bill
It does not make sense to give billions of dollars a year in federal small business contracts to corporate giants, and then turn around and try lending billions of dollars to small businesses who are floundering.
The Angry Left Needs Hugs and Kisses
The angry left is angry with Barack Obama. It's lying on the floor kicking and screaming and holding its breath. Goodness is not being accomplished. Injustice continues sort of unabated.
In Defense of "Big" Government
Those who demonize the institution of government as inherently opposed to the people forget the truths laid down by our Founders. Government is not against the people: it is the people.
Washington's Gain Is the Nation's Loss
The Washington economy is super-charged by the inflow of new federal government money and the legal and lobbying business generated by a government proposing and issuing new laws and rules.
Breakfast With the Obamas: The Oil Spill
I reject the false choice between bacon and eggs. I dream of a world where every American, no matter what their religion or ethnicity, can have both bacon and eggs.
Racial Aspects of Economy Are Significant for White House to Address
When one looks at any aspect of the economy, race and gender are not far from the surface. The administration's response: silence.
The Case for Attacking Iran's Nukes
Some have argued that the Cold War-era mutual assured destruction doctrine would contain Iran. That is a big assumption -- specially in light of the Iranian regime's ideology.
