Adding Some Color to Sunday Morning Talk Show Circuit
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama sprinted through appearances on five consecutive news shows last Sunday, but other African-American lawmakers and opinion-shapers have a hard time getting face time on those programs. Although an African-American is serving as the third-ranking Democrat in the House of Representatives, four African-Americans are chairing important House committees and 17 other Congressional Black Caucus members are holding subcommittee chairs, they haven't made many appearances on the Sunday talk-show circuit. "There hasn't been much change," said Rep.Obama and the Race Factor
AUSTIN – Eight months into Barack Obama’s presidency, as criticism of his administration seems to reach new levels of volume and intensity each week, the whispers among some of his allies are growing louder: That those who loathe the nation’s first African-American president, and especially those who would deny his citizenship, are driven at least in part by racism.

When asked about this at his confirmation hearing, Eric Holder piously pledged that his Justice Department would “serve justice” and “not the fleeting interests of any political party.” America, he intoned, was “in dire need of a less political and more independent Justice Department.” But an e-mail and flyer recently circulated to Justice Department employees indicate Attorney General Holder has an interesting definition of what it means to be “less political.” The flyer invites all employees to attend a speech in the main Justice building on Pennsylvania Avenue.Obama's Flaws Multiply
Obama's Flaws Multiply By JOHN FUND WSJ April 15, 2008; Page A19 Barack Obama's San Francisco-Democrat comment last week – about how alienated working-class voters "cling to guns or religion" – is already famous. But the fact that his aides tell reporters he is privately bewildered that anybody took offense is even more remarkable. Democrats have been worrying about defending Mr. Obama's highly liberal voting record in a general election.If the unthinkable happens...
This article by Jack Cafferty on CNN.com got me thinking some painful thoughts. Cafferty discusses infighting among Democrats and how the Obama/Hillary debate is getting increasingly heated, perhaps to the detriment of the Democratic party: "The race between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama now looks like it could stretch on for months and is becoming increasingly bitter. The Wall Street Journal reports groups that for months have energized the Democratic campaign – like blacks, women and young voters – are “increasingly sniping” at each other.Day 6 of Week 1 1/12/2008
