TPP is very much a continuation of the Clintons' emphasis on globalization and political support for multinational corporations. So I am skeptical that Hillary would stand up for the American worker if she were elected.
This is not really a comparison between American and Israeli jewry. One might find considerable agreement on many points as Netanyahu and Likud are a right wing faction holding power by a slim margin.
I did not take this as gay bashing but as a characterization. Lewis Caroll's red queen was "formal and strict, yet not unkindly; pedantic to the 10th degree" very much like Graham in his lawyerly mode.
Hagel's nomination probably has the votes in the Senate as a whole, but he has to be voted out of the Armed Services Committee. All of the Republicans there are wingnuts who want us to bomb Iran or get Israel to do it for us.
What is the difference between a "terrorist organization" and an organization to which terrorists belong? Many of the organizations listed as terrorist by our State department are not that different from the NRA in that they have members who happen to have extreme views and be violent.
It was a great speech and well delivered. Obama is misguided on foreign policy, but he represents the American people in that and is far more knowledgeable and rational than his predecessor in the Oval Office.
A very direct and cogent commentary on events as usual. I might differ, however, regarding the tension between direct and representative democracy. I do think that the "Arab street" movements grow out of frustration not only with dictatorship but also with representative systems on the part of educated Arab youth in the cities. There are a lot of political crises to come in this part of the world as the young and old, rural and urban, women and men come to terms with one another.
How many agents do you suppose that we actually do have working over there in Egypt? Are they running amongst the thugs who are beating up our reporters? Are they orchestrating a lot of that "conflict" down in Tahrir square?

Reza Aslan just had this lady for breakfast.
I agree with Kristine. The Tsarnaev brothers actually are northern European even though Moslem.

Great speech! ! ! I hope that some in the Middle East were listening.
The FBI was looking for a Muslim for several weeks, however, before they began to find good leads on the case.
