RJ Eskow: Have We Missed the Key to Obama's Leadership Style?
Note: FTP: "It may be coincidental. Or it may be the result of growing up with Hawaii's Pacific Rim influence. But Obama's management style resembles the classic Japanese model. And, at least historically, these haven't just been behaviors. They're living embodiments of a spiritual perception which says that all humanity -- all existence -- is interconnected and equal. " ~~~~~I Like This!!!

Alex Pasternack: Beijing Says It Will Allow Protests in Certain Areas During Olympics
Note: FTP: "Unspecified forms of protest would be allowed under Beijing's overall security plan, which includes stringent efforts to maintain public order, Liu Shaowu, director of security for the Beijing organizing committee, told reporters. It was unclear exactly how or when protesters would need to register with the local government."

Ilan Goldenberg: Not a Gaffe: A Fundamental Misunderstanding of Iraq
Note: FTP: "The Awakening began in Anbar Province more than a year before the surge and took off in the summer and fall of 2006 in Ramadi and elsewhere, long before extra U.S. forces started flowing into Iraq in February and March of 2007. ....This is not controversial history. It is history that anyone trying out for Commander in Chief must understand when there are 150,000 American troops stationed in Iraq. It is an absolutely essential element to the story of the past two years. YOU CANNOT GET THIS WRONG. Moreover, what is most disturbing is that according to McCain's inaccurate version of history, military force came first and solved all of our problems. If that is the lesson he takes from the Anbar Awakening, I am afraid it is the lesson he will apply to every other crisis he faces including, for example, Iran."

So when do we get it over with and declare Google a monopoly? | Coop's Corner : A Blog from Charlie Cooper - CNET News.com
Note: FTP: "There's no magic threshold but with high share levels, you get to be concerned," he continued. "On the other hand, monopolists are allowed to compete. The question is whether the arrangement would stifle competition."

Call the Cable Guy. Again.
Note: FTP: "That growth has come at a price for customers, public interest groups say. As the company races to add subscribers, many of whom pay more than $100 a month to use phone, Internet, wireless and video services, Comcast has not focused on funding and fixing problems with its customer service, the critics say. "They bit off more than they could chew, and the victims of their overweening ambition is us," said Bob Garfield, a radio host and creator of Web site ComcastMustDie.com, one of several sites created in recent years as an outlet for customer complaints of all kinds."~~~~~ Um, one of those customers is me.

McCain Gets History Of The Surge Wrong, CBS Doesn't Air Footage
Note: Hot off the Press: "During a CBS interview on Tuesday, John McCain made a stone cold error on a subject about which he claims expert knowledge: the "surge" strategy in Iraq. In an interview with anchor Katie Couric, the Arizona Republican said, inaccurately, that the surge strategy was responsible for the much-touted "Anbar Awakening," in which Sunni sheiks turned against Al Qaeda, helping in turn to reduce violence in the country."

Legal Momentum Applauds Senators Biden and Brownback on the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act - MarketWatch
Note: FTP: Any change in the legal definition of human trafficking attacks the fundamental integrity of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) and will severely undermine our government's ability to battle what is now an international trade in children and women. Senators Biden and Brownback have taken a courageous stance to protect women from modern-day slavery. Their bill expands our country's commitment to protect vulnerable women and girls beyond the historic efforts to which our government dedicated itself with adoption of TVPA eight years ago. "

YouTube - John McCain's Neverending War
Note: FTP: "My newest video features John McCain talking about the Iraq war from 2002 through the present, exposing -- in his own words -- the lie behind his claim that he was the war's "greatest critic." It demonstrates his chilling commitment to fighting this war no matter what the people of America -- or Iraq -- want.

Arianna Huffington: Tell Me Again, Why Is Obama Being Popular With Our Allies a Bad Thing?
Note: FTP: "Of course, at no point does the McCain campaign or anyone in the media point out what, exactly, is the danger to America if our closest allies actually, you know, don't hate us. They also fail to mention that along with being our allies, the European countries Obama is visiting are also democracies -- so it's a lot easier for their leaders to make nice with us if their constituents don't view our president as an object of disdain and ridicule."

Note: FTP:Rendell said that Obama needs a running mate "with more foreign policy credentials" and does not see any electoral advantage to Obama picking him as his running mate. "I don't think he needs me to carry Pennsylvania," Rendell said. "I think that I can do the things that are necessary here in Pennsylvania just by being governor and working for the Obama ticket like I did for Senator Clinton."
