A 'Must-Read' for the Obama Campaign
Op-Ed Columnist
Playing by Clinton Rules
By DAVID BROOKS
Published: March 7, 2008
Senator Barack Obama doesn’t have an impressive record of experience or a unique policy profile. New politics is all he’s got. He loses that, and he loses everything.

Seems fishy...
"Debate" Sponsored by the American Association for the Advancement of Science
1. Only Dems show up; all GOP no reply or cancelled.
2. Oddly keen attention to attire.
3. Stereotyping of Obama as transcendental (Thoreau, Emerson--not Kant) and Clinton as hyper-detailed.
4. Wholesale labelling of Dems as overspending on science.
5. Repeated underscoring Dems' reversal of Bush stem-cell research policy.
Read it for yourself here.

Maya Angelou's Poem in Praise of Hillary Clinton
Complete article here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jan/20/usa.poetry
State Package for Hillary Clinton
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may tread me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
This is not the first time you have seen Hillary Clinton seemingly at her wits' end, but she has always risen, always risen, don't forget she has always risen, much to the dismay of her adversaries and the delight of her friends.
Hillary Clinton will not give up on you and all she asks of you is that you do not give up on her.
There is a world of difference between being a woman and being an old female. If you're born a girl, grow up, and live long enough, you can become an old female. But to become a woman is a serious matter. A woman takes responsibility for the time she takes up and the space she occupies. Hillary Clinton is a woman. She has been there and done that and has still risen. She is in this race for the long haul. She intends to make a difference in our country. Hillary Clinton intends to help our country to be what it can become.
She declares she wants to see more smiles in the family, more courtesies between men and women, more honesty in the marketplace. She is the prayer of every woman and man who longs for fair play, healthy families, good schools, and a balanced economy.
She means to rise.
Don't give up on Hillary. In fact, if you help her to rise, you will rise with her and help her make this country the wonderful, wonderful place where every man and every woman can live freely without sanctimonious piety and without crippling fear.
Rise, Hillary.
Rise.
--Maya Angelou

Sadie: I'm not a girl; I'm a human.
(listen very carefully for the dialogue that begins at 23seconds)
As a woman, I find it striking to compare these four women (Sadie included). I'm taking note of each woman's personal histories and current works as a barometer to understanding the representations and definitions of women emerging in 21st century America and juxtaposing that with historical definitions of "womanhood". As Sadie's strong willed voice attests, at this moment, being a girl is (still--and without reason) an insult to being human.
