And if there's an Arab American family that's being rounded up by John Ashcroft without the benefit of due process, that threatens my civil liberties.<br><br>I can give religious expression to that. I am my brother's keeper, I am my sister's keeper, we are all children of God. Or I can express it in secular terms. But the basic premise remains the same. I think sometimes Democrats have made the mistake of shying away from a conversation about values for fear that they sacrifice the important value of tolerance. And I don't think those two things are mutually exclusive.</i><blockquote></blockquote></blockquote>", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false, "real_date": "2008-11-15_00:22:11", "killed": false, "user_key": "Sombody_took_my_username", "has_been_anonymized": false, "edited": false, "author_is_moderator": false, "from_request_user": false, "votable": true, "date": "1 year ago", "approved": true, "num_replies": 0, "is_first_child": false, "email": "", "parent_post_id": null, "depth": 0, "points": 0, "author_is_creator": false, "is_realtime": false}, "3782456": {"up_voted": false, "ip": "", "has_replies": false, "message": "Ha....We remember that debacle of a debate George Stephanopoulos & Charlie Gibson pulled.

A similar plan could be worked out here, but it needs to be done with a lot more attention to detail.  Also, b/c banks and the auto industry are interconnected to so many other parts of the economy, letting them fail will affect the whole system in ways no one can really imagine or predict.

Clinton doesn\'t have the personality to negotiate and listen to other competing ideas and develop a solution that can incorporate common principles from everyone.  She is also a divisive figure even in international politics, and it would not serve Obama\'s purpose of demonstrating that the U.S. is going to make a significant change in the direction of our foreign policy.  <br><br>    Although he\'s an old head, (slang) I think Gov.

There\'s no need for a family vehicle to cost as much as the median national family income.   When prices are lower, people won\'t need to apply for credit (that they already <i>can\'t</i> get nowadays), go into debt, and continue the current cycle of debt-default.<br><br>Second, a portion of downstream revenues goes toward mass transit and commuter rail in major metropolitan areas (Amtrak!?!?).   If the car companies want to compete with mass transit, then they can do so on their own dime.<br><br>Third, address legacy costs.   Health care and pension plan costs are already built in the prices of vehicles.  And this is tricky because we ought not punish retirees for the poor planning of the executives and managers.  But unions will have to take some concessions on health care, and trust that an Obama administration and a willing Congress will lower health care costs significantly.</div>\

If we look at it as an investment, however, it might turn out to be a good deal.  The taxpayers earned money after we bailed out Chrysler in the 80\'s.  A similar plan could be worked out here, but it needs to be done with a lot more attention to detail.  Also, b/c banks and the auto industry are interconnected to so many other parts of the economy, letting them fail will affect the whole system in ways no one can really imagine or predict.  I agree that bailing them out after their failures is not good precedent, but we could bail them out and take control and demand that they do things our way.</div>\

There\'s good reason why they received a memo that instructed "do not under any circumstances speak to the press." You can\'t shoot a cannon ball up Pennsylvania Avenue these days without hitting two or three of them, but that doesn\'t put them in the loop, and the ones that are in the loop aren\'t talking to Andrea Mitchell or anybody in the press about inside information.)</i><br><br><i>No, it was not Mitchell that first floated this Hindenburg balloon. It was former Clinton White House aide (and reliable media spinner for all agendas Clinton) George Stephanopoulos on who first dropped HRC\'s name for Foggy Bottom last week... </i><br><br><br><i>The whole thing is a media freak show being served up by members of the Clinton factions in the Democratic party and obliged by a national media (some of them also Clinton noisemakers) in search of a story. The speculation is not because Senator Clinton wants the job, but because her people so desperately want to muddy the waters and throw up a roadblock to either New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson or Massachusetts Senator John Kerry - two of the leading contenders - serving in the post, whom they consider turncoats for having endorsed Obama vs. Clinton earlier this year.</i><br><br><i>After Richardson backed Obama, Clinton advisor James Carville called him a "Judas."</i><br><br><i>Kerry\'s earlier endorsement of Obama likewise brought out the knives:</i><br><br><i>"And he was dead to us," said one prominent Clinton supporter who is, in his words, "not authorized to trash Kerry on the record."</i></div>\

An Obama spokesperson says that this innovation is just the beginning of the digital, transparent presidency.

These videos allowed supporters to feel like they had a direct connection to the campaign, a connection that bypassed the media. Already, the Obama team has made good on the post-election plan. It posted a video from Valerie Jarrett, one of Obama\'s transition chairs, discussing plans for the new administration. Watch it here:<br><br>Can the Obama team use the tools they built during the campaign to drum up support for complicated government initiatives?

What started on election day as a 3200 vote lead for convicTed Stevens, swung to an 814 vote lead for Democratic challenger Mark Begich on Monday when a huge stack of absentee and early ballots were counted.<br><br><b>Today is round two. Here’s what will be counted today.</b><br><br>    • About 510 questioned ballots from Southeast, the Peninsula and Southwest Alaska<br><br>    • About 5,180 absentee and questioned ballots from Mat-Su<br><br>    • Questioned, absentee ballots from Richardson Highway and the Interior<br><br>    • About 3,600 absentee and questioned ballots from Western and Northwest Alaska, and North Slope<br><br>    <b>To Be Counted on Monday</b><br><br>    • Leftover absentee ballots from Richardson Highway and the Interior<br><br>    <b>To Be Counted on Tuesday</b><br><br>    • About 15,700 questioned and absentee ballots from Anchorage<br><br>    • About 8,300 absentee ballots from Southeast, Kenai Peninsula and Southwest Alaska<br><br>    Begich made a big push for his supporters to vote early. Also, Republicans believe Stevens got a boost when he returned to Alaska from his trial less than a week before the election and began rallying supporters. People who voted earlier would not have been part of that lift.<br><br>    Stevens’ supporters think he can come back as more absentee votes cast following his homecoming are counted. Still, the fact that the votes are coming from Begich majority districts leave the Democrats’ supporters quietly optimistic.<br><br>Yes, one can only imagine how many of those who were on the fence decided to align themselves with the convicted felon after his inspirational, and victorious homecoming from the trial.<br><br>On Monday, the Division of Elections released one batch of numbers during the day, and the final tally at about 8:30pm. It’s anyone’s guess how they’ll release the information today. Stay tuned.</i><br><br>Waiting To Exhale!    :&gt;)     :&gt;)</div>\

I am a big believer in the separation of church and state. I am a big believer in our constitutional structure. I mean, I\'m a law professor at the University of Chicago teaching constitutional law. I am a great admirer of our founding charter, and its resolve to prevent theocracies from forming, and its resolve to prevent disruptive strains of fundamentalism from taking root ion this country.<br><br>As I said before, in my own public policy, I\'m very suspicious of religious certainty expressing itself in politics.<br><br>Now, that\'s different form a belief that values have to inform our public policy. I think it\'s perfectly consistent to say that I want my government to be operating for all faiths and all peoples, including atheists and agnostics, while also insisting that there are values tha tinform my politics that are appropriate to talk about.<br><br>A standard line in my stump speech during this campaign is that my politics are informed by a belief that we\'re all connected. That if there\'s a child on the South Side of Chicago that can\'t read, that makes a difference in my life even if it\'s not my own child. If there\'s a senior citizen in downstate Illinois that\'s struggling to pay for their medicine and having to chose between medicine and the rent, that makes my life poorer even if it\'s not my grandparent. And if there\'s an Arab American family that\'s being rounded up by John Ashcroft without the benefit of due process, that threatens my civil liberties.<br><br>I can give religious expression to that. I am my brother\'s keeper, I am my sister\'s keeper, we are all children of God. Or I can express it in secular terms. But the basic premise remains the same. I think sometimes Democrats have made the mistake of shying away from a conversation about values for fear that they sacrifice the important value of tolerance. And I don\'t think those two things are mutually exclusive.</i><blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></div>\
