President Obama: Let's keep us safe by being prepared -- we can't afford the alternative which would be worse than anything we have seen yet.
This is the third installment of a trio of blogs on social media analysis (SMA), and it provides an example of how SMA works -- after all, a picture i...
From the moment Joe Biden opened his mouth on Meet the Press, this week was all about gay marriage. Once President Obama made his big announcement on Wednesday afternoon, it was all anyone in the media could talk about.
I personally haven't "just concluded" that gay and lesbian Americans should be treated fairly and equally. I concluded this a very long time ago, when the most loved person in the world to my wife and myself, our young son, told us that he was gay.
President Obama has dispelled the myth that Democrats are weak on national defense. Karl Rove understands this. That is why he is attacking the president. This farce won't work. Truth will.
It is time to address the proverbial elephant in the room. For the past decade, the relationship between Western Muslims -- especially American Muslims -- and their governments have been unable to move past the events of 9/11.
We have been entertained and outraged as the political theater of the absurd that was the Republican primary played out. From one state to the next, a collection of mixed nuts attacked each other and President Obama with a wild-eyed hysteria that is, frankly, beneath the office.

This week began with the ultimate collision of comedy and politics: the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
Are we safer now than we were before the launch of our massive counterterrorism effort?
While a lot was happening around the edges this past week, we're going to concentrate on Obama's campaign messaging. The general election is underway, and the Obama folks are busy crafting the language he's going to use to run on.
As a nation founded on religious and moral values, we cannot begin to move past the shameful use of torture until we ensure that U.S. government-sponsored torture never occurs again. Justifications for the use of torture impede us from this important task.
I felt sadness a year ago at the sight of Americans celebrating the death of anyone -- even the man largely responsible for the murder of my husband. Now, I feel sadness witnessing President Obama resort to the same campaign tactics of George W. Bush.
America is a great place. Our greatness lies in our plurality, tolerance and freedom and rejection of all forms of bigotry. To provide complete closure to Osama bin Laden's victims, therefore, we must all work to account for all of his crimes -- including rising Islamophobia.
Osama bin Laden's death meant that Americans had one less evil to fear in the world. Most of the youth at the White House were not celebrating the death of a human being, but rather a long-awaited return of their belief in American exceptionalism.
