McCain’s Senior Moments

TPMtv once again nails the craziness of the presidential election. I love this collection of senior moments. And he is 71 and he won’t get any better.

Ouch.

So she has left the stage - for now. I still think that her failure to capture the Democratic nomination is mostly homemade.

But overall I applaud here for her hard work and dedication.

But there is one more thing that puzzles me: are Americans afraid of strong and tough woman? Compared to Maggie Thatcher Hillary is very charming. But it seems that there is still a lot of Hillary Hate going around.

Dissecting that Rev. Wright Speech

Journalists should be able to read / understand what some people said - analyze them and put the into context.

But most US journalists lack these skills today.

Mass media seem only to deliver triggers for scandals instead of content. Stoking anger on all sides seem the only mission.

Anyone remember that saying “A house divided against itself cannot stand” by Abraham Lincoln. But hardly anyone in American Politics or Journalism is capable of delivering or understanding such great speeches anyway.

Obama on Race in America

Finally Obama delivered some beef. This is the first speech I have heard from him that got dirty and down to business. No longer all that “feel good” and “come together” crap.

Good for you Sir!
