Even though the administration has been evaluating candidates since the inauguration (and before), there’s no real reason for President Obama to announce a replacement before the Court’s term ends in late June. The only limiting factor is that the president needs to have a new justice in place by the time the Court resumes hearing cases in October. So, clearly, this politically savvy president will be weighing his legislative priorities against the relative amount of political capital he’ll have to spend to confirm possible nominees. Similarly, Republicans seem to be ke...

To be sure, I am as excited as I was last week about these things, and I am happy to see that after less 10 days in office, Obama has not only repealed some of the shameful legacies of our last president, but clearly has set an unapologetically new tone from the West Wing to the West Bank. For the record, I fully expect to be disappointed in some things I really feel strongly about not moving forward the way I thought or that he originally promised. Part of being a good leader is adapti...

As we hear more about Abraham Lincoln, we may want to refresh our knowledge about the Civil War, his Emancipation Proclamation freeing the slaves, and his famous Gettysburg Address.  Our children may begin asking questions, and you find they might not have full knowledge from studies at school. Some of this discussion might stimulate memories in the minds of your Alzheimer’s patients (as I relate i...

First, the military commissions play into the propaganda game that terrorists thrive on.  It confirms their message that normal courts can’t address the threat that they pose.  In fact, the opposite is true.  When you convict a terrorist and lock him up with murderers and rapists, you take away his freedom fighter mystique. Second, the trial of Omar Khadr was about to start.  Khadr fought alongside a band of Al Qaeda-affiliated terrorists and allegedly killed Special Forces medic Christopher Speer with a hand grenade.  Khadr deser...

Then-candidate Obama made health care reform a major issue during the campaign, and his actions since—such as naming former South Dakota Senator Tom Daschle as both Secretary of Health and Human Services and White house “health czar”—suggest that health care reform remains at the top of his agenda. But what will Obamacare look like? The president has not yet released a plan, but from his campaign statements, the plan outlined by Senate finance committee chairman Max Baucus, a bill introduced by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), and Secretary Daschle’s book, it’s...

His theme was responsibility, a theme that provides a useful frame for his administration. The individual versus the collective: Americans generally affirm individual or personal responsibility for one’s life. To be an adult – to put aside childish things - means taking responsibility for one’s actions and outcomes. Yet language permits another possibility. “We” can take responsibility for this outcome or that injustice. Putting aside childish things means taking collective responsibility through government action. In this view, emphasizing the individual suggests a childish selfishness that should be overcome. Obama seems to be about both kinds of responsibility right now. But extending state control over s...

The self-conscious hipsters are right — too much joy will be used as proof we’ve turned Hussein X  Superfly into a personal savior, but he covered that yesterday and it bears repeating: This isn’t about him, it’s about us, we the people. Commie lyrics included! I was a little loopy but half-heard a woman on the mall explain what good government is and is not: it’s not an implacable force impinging on people or faceless source of indiscriminate largesse, but a partnership between the governing and the governed; both have a duty...

Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward. Where the answer is no, programs will end. Even in skirting the question, President Obama has in effect come down on the side of bigger government. His statement assumes that government programs will be central to creating jobs and providing health care and retirement security. For every problem confronting American families, it is just a question of finding the right progra...

Each day we go about our business, walking past each other, catching each others’ eyes or not, about to speak or speaking. All about us is noise. All about us is noise and bramble, thorn and din, each one of our ancestors on our tongues. Someone is stitching up a hem, darning a hole in a uniform, patching a tire, repairing the things in need of repair. Someone is trying to make music somewhere with a pair of wooden spoons on an oil drum with cello, boom box, harmonica, voice. A woman and her son wait for the bus. A farmer considers the changing sky; A teacher says, “Take out your pencils. Begin.” We encounter each other in words, words spiny or smooth, whispered or declaimed; words to consider, reconsider. We cross dirt roads and highways that mark the will of someone a... white pebble blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2115908 Tue, 20 Jan 2009 21:57:59 +0100 2115908 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2120914&cid=t_222847_86_f&fid=34445&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwomenshealthnews.wordpress.com%2F2009%2F01%2F20%2Frebecca-jerome-is-the-bestest%2F She knows why.

It is not only a historic event because Barack Obama is of a different race than all prior Presidents, but because his race was enslaved by the very same country (albeit not the same people) which he now leads. Obama has a lot to do, and I fear that expectations are so high and the work so expansive, he may not be as successful as we all would like. History will likely judge George W. Bush’s presidency as decidedly mixed. His litany of failures are well-known — a failure to stave off the largest recession since the Great Depression, a failure to devise and implement a realistic strate...
