11/11/2019 – 12:35 am

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s expected entrance into the 2020 race is being interpreted by many Democrats as a clear challenge to former Vice President Joe Biden‘s moderate presidential bid.

Obama the Avenger and His Vendetta Against Trump and the GOP – Chemi Shalev – Haaretz

10/31/2016 – 12:30 am

Analysis: Obama the Avenger and His Vendetta Against Trump and the GOP

The First Family is exacting revenge on the candidate who led the Birther movement and the party that tormented them for the past eight years.

– Chemi Shalev – Haaretz

commentaryBarack Obama is fired up and ready to go. He flies around from political rally to donors’ events, stirring crowds, encouraging Democrats and enthusing voters with the intense rhetoric of a Baptist preacher. He pushes his audiences not only to vote but to take others with them, not only to support Hillary Clinton but to achieve victory for Democrats all down the line. And that’s before we even mention his wife, the breakout mega-superstar of the election season who will hold her first joint appearance with Clinton in North Carolina on Thursday.

There’s never been a presidential family that has committed itself so totally and unequivocally in favour of their party’s presidential contender and, in Donald Trump’s case, against the rival party’s candidate.     Continue reading →

Barack H. Obama is the Greatest President of Modern Times

Barack H. Obama is the Greatest President of Modern Times

President Obama

President Obama

By: Hrafnkell Haraldsson
PoliticusUSA.    Monday, December, 29th, 2014  

It is difficult to compare presidents outside of a narrow context of time. It is like trying to compare baseball players, like Ruth and Aaron, or football players, like Johnny Unitas and Peyton Manning. For athletes, the games they play were different then; and for presidents, not only the country, but the world is different.

There is no way of knowing how a president today would have fared when faced with the prospect of the First or Second World War, or how they would have handled the advent of the Cold War with the Soviet Union. These are answers we can never have answered, and speculation is pointless. Despite any internal similarities, the external contexts cannot be ignored: Korea is not Vietnam and Vietnam is not Iraq.   Continue reading →

The Tea Party Republicans’ Biggest Mistake – by Robert Reich

10/11/2013 – 11:41 pm

Robert Reich -The Tea Party Republicans’ Biggest Mistake:

 ….. Confusing Government with Our System of Government

 Robert Reich –  Published: Friday 11 October 2013 National Change – OP-ED

Robert Reich

By using tactics perceived to violate that system, the Tea Partiers have overplayed their hand. If they don’t stop their recklessness, they’ll be out of the game.

Representative Mo Brooks, Republican of Alabama and a fierce critic of the Affordable Care Act, has just changed his tune. He now says: “My primary focus is on minimizing risk of insolvency and bankruptcy. There are many paths you can take to get there. Socialized medicine is just one of the component parts of our debt and deficits that put us at financial risk.”

Translated: House Republicans are under intense pressure. A new Gallup poll shows the Republican Party now viewed favorably by only 28% of Americans, down from 38% in September. That’s the lowest favorable rating measured for either party since Gallup began asking this question in 1992. The Democratic Party is viewed favorably by 43%, down four percentage points from last month.  Continue reading →

US immigration reform: A political strategy that lacks humanity

06/24/2013 – 2:01 pm
US immigration reform: A political strategy that lacks humanity
Published on June 24, 2013
By Pamela F. Izaguirre – Research Associate at the Council on Hemispheric AffairsThis is the English version of the original article, first published in Spanish in MetroLatino USA.

It is clear that the future of immigration reform depends on the approval of the Republican majority in the House of Representatives. Due to the growing political significance of the Latino community in recent elections, the Republican Party will not be able to gain control of the White House in 2016 unless it gets behind the immigration reform bill (S.744).

Every day, the media discusses the future of this bill and questions whether Republicans will support their colleagues from the bipartisan group of senators that wrote the S.744 bill, the gang of eight. The dominant narrative, however, fails to observe that the immigration reform is not just about politics, but more importantly it is about people’s lives. It is not only a matter of Democrats versus Republicans. Immigration reform is concerned with those who for years have contributed their labor to the US economy, yet the reform proposal lacks the tools to protect those who are vulnerable and live in the shadows of the system.  [Read more]

The Plight of America’s Low-Wage Workers by Rosaliene Bacchus

03/17/2013 – 5:52 pm

Another informative and well-written Blog entry from Rosaliene Bacchus

Three Worlds One Vision

Wal-Mart Workers on Strike - December 2012

Behind the strikes at Wal-Mart, McDonald’s, ports, 5 December 2012

Source: current.com/community

 

On 13 March 2013, the Roman Catholic College of Cardinals elected a new head of the Church. Pope Francis I is the first South American pope. His choice of name is noteworthy. Saint Francis of Assisi, founder of the Franciscan Order, had embraced a life of poverty and championed the poor. Pope Francis expressed his desire for a poor church that serves the poor. As Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Argentina, he shunned the luxuries granted him for a more simple life.

Does this mean that the new pope will address the plight of low-wage workers and inequality worldwide?

On 12 February 2013, in his State of the Union address, President Obama called for an increase in the federal hourly minimum wage from $7.25, in effect since July 2009, to $9.00. Democrats in the House of Representatives called…
