I just deleted this from an email I was writing because I wasn’t sure if the recipient would find it funny. So I’m sharing it with you:

“to utilize your synergy in a dynamic bottom-up organization that is quality-focused and agile.”

That’s why the media just keeps talking about “the horse race” (electoral vote counts, primaries, etc.) instead of what really matters... ISSUES!

Thus I was happy to find this article about Obama’s foreign policy in Prospect.

When Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama met in California for the Jan. 31 debate, their back-and-forth resembled their many previous encounters, with the Democratic presidential hopefuls scrambling for the small policy yardage between them. And then Obama said something about the Iraq War that wasn’t incremental at all. “I don’t want to just end the war,” he said, “but I want to end the mind-set that got us into war in the first place.”
Until this point in the primaries, Clinton and Obama had sounded very similar on this issue. Despite their differences in the past (Obama opposed the war, while Clinton voted for it), both were calling for major troop withdrawals, with some residual force left behind to hedge against catastrophe. But Obama’s concise declaration of intent at the debate upended this assumption.


(I admit I haven’t read the entire article yet, but I’m enjoying it enough to link to it right now)
