The 24 hour news cycle sometimes blinds us to the larger picture that emerges over weeks and months of individual events. Obama made his opening chess move to the Islamic world in June of this year with an historic speech aimed at reconciliation and improved understanding between East and West. The Green Revolution in Iran was an immediate byproduct of that effort. Now, leading up to a critical set of meetings this week in Geneva with Ahmadinejad, the master chess player has orchestrated a series of moves that will likely lead to either complete Iranian capitulation on nukes, or their complete and total isolation from the world community.

Henry Kissinger, of all people, compared Obama to a chess playerhttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/...

In this entire campaign no one, even Obama, has addressed the concept that Democratic Presidents are better for your retirement. Why is that?
The Goopers will have you believe that they are the Masters of the Universe when it comes to investments. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Sen Obama was interviewed on GMA this morning by Chris Cuomo. Despite Cuomo's unmitigated gall in turning the current rounds of negative ads as a "you're doing it too!" farce, Obama cooly hit back. But the ABC hacktackery continued...

The PUMA's last gasp appears to be the naming of Sarah Palin as McSame's running mate. Apparently Murphy wasn't just supporting Hillary for her-she is now supporting McSame/Palin because it's now all about Darragh Murphy.

It has been a while since I have posted here but I believe that Kossacks will respond to an outrage that has gone on for far too long. While I can always get the three major networks, ESPN, CNN, and Fixed News, I often find that when I check into a hotel that I cannot get MSNBC. This has to stop and I ask you for your help.

What positive developments on the national scene can you point to in the last 5 and a half years that have made you proud to be an American? On September 12, 2001 in the smoldering aftermath of the worst attack on American soil, I stood with our nation and our commander in chief, steadfast that we would respond with certitude and in unison, against the evil that had occurred the day before. Our cause was just and we had the support and military allegiance of a substantial part of the free world. Where has that allegiance gone? Read More

Kossaks:

It's not enough to have blind anger toward the GOP in this hour of madness. We must mobilize against everything this contemptible administration stands for including the repeal of the estate tax and the nomination of Roberts. We need to work with Howard DEan to mobilize resources locally so that we win win the house and/or senate in 06. Blogging alone is not going to get that done-let's capitalize now on the national anger and turn that into a real victory. The wheels of the republican noise machine are falling off-get after your local media to expose the lies and corruption of this sinful regime. But let's also get boots on the ground to convince our fellow citizens that the Emperor has no clothes-only you can do that. Get with your local party today and lets all make it happen.
