Obama and the Bunny Planet
I like Barack Obama, but I misjudged him. I mistook ambition for courage, and conformity for pragmatism. He needs a visit to the Bunny Planet. The Bu...

The Afghanistan Surge: Will It Cost Us?
Paying for the Afghanistan Surge By Gordon Adams 2 December 2009 While costs will not dictate how we pay for the Obama surge in Afghanistan, they w...
Obama Doesn't Need Another Forum to Cut Unemployment
The Obama Administration is Missing the Boat on Job Creation On Thursday, December 3, President Barack Obama will host a forum on jobs and economic g...
Obama Poll Watch -- Scraping Fifty Percent
November wasn't a particularly good month for President Obama in the polls. Not disastrous by any means, but not very cheerful either. For the first time, Obama's numbers flirted with going below 50 percent.
Where Should You Talk (and Listen) to an Independent? Online, of Course
Why not reach Independents at a place where most people turn to when they are seeking more information? That is, online, through search engines.
Obama and Afghanistan, Bush and Iraq; Where's the Difference?
Obama came forward to make his case for not only the continued war in Afghanistan but for an escalation. What the nation got was a mish-mash of clichés and rhetoric made to rouse a sense of patriotism and unity.
Kinks In Obama's New Era of Hope
Obama is increasingly being viewed by Wall Street as a non-achiever, a veritable misfit when it comes to concocting a meaningful plan to revitalize the economy and a likely one-term occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
How to Make Peace With Obama's Speech
In order to move on, I think we have to make peace with Obama's speech and the decisions he made. To do that, here are the salient points.
Obama's Unavoidable Cure for the Afghanistan Cancer
Are we willing to allow eight years of mistakes and mismanagement to go unmitigated, or do we risk more lives trying to at least clean up some of the mess before we bug out?
The Failure of the Federalist, No. 10
Will President Obama serve as the beacon of hope in government that he pretended to be throughout last year's campaign, or did he merely pander to the public in order to pursue his personal ambitions?
Mr. President, on Afghanistan, I disagree
President Obama has made his decision. 30,000 more of our young men and women will be sent to fight and potentially die in Afghanistan. If I could gi...
What Does 30,000 Troops Really Buy Us?
Is a graceful withdrawal and a less unstable puppet government worth more American lives? Are those lives really worth that "success"?
Congress Can Save Mr. Obama From Afghanistan
Afghanistan is surely not Vietnam. It is worse. It is easily ten times more costly and much less popular both in the U.S. and in the country we occupy after eight years of war.
Doing More... to Do Less
Obama is working to persuade the American people that our interests in Afghanistan are worth sacrificing for, while he places a ceiling on what the United States is prepared to do. Therein lies the dilemma.
The Afghanistan Parenthesis
At West Point, Obama seemed to want to declare a policy and take it back in a single breath. But there are circles that can't be squared. With war, the way in is not the way out.
President Obama's Afghanistan Speech a True Capitulation
The Obama administration has to stop campaigning to get down to governing. All of the campaign-like speeches are becoming quite transparent to the American people and foreigners alike.
Here We Go Again
To suggest that the Afghan government will be in seriously better shape 18 months after 30,000 additional U.S. are dispatched is bizarrely out of touch with the strategy of the McChrystal report.
The President's War Is to Save His Own Skin
It is neither unreasonable nor dishonorable to be as cynical as possible when evaluating the official rationale for going to war--or continuing one. ...
What Jesus And The Dalai Lama Would Say To Tiger Woods And Mike Huckabee
The question is what result does criticizing leave in its wake? Since criticizing, complaining, and gossiping are anything but solution-oriented, they bring destruction, not solution.
In Afghanistan, Is the Problem Capacity Or Complexity?
Cross-posted from Harvard Business Online A senior manager at Cisco once suggested to me that there are two types of challenges in organizations -- c...
Obama and Afghanistan: Two Items I Don't Understand
Barack Obama would seem to be a man of rare psychological balance and has, certainly, no debt to the administration of President Bush. Why follow its example?
