The Ones that Got Away

  • DF looks at the trend of skyrocketing gas prices, and analyzes some of the causes.
  • Waldengirl reaches back to 2000 to examine how Obama became such a force for change in this election cycle. In a nutshell, "Obama's success is not just a mirage or due to some kind of hypnotic spell. Obama has succeeded by responding to the emerging progressive movement and giving it a voice. He has not created the movement, but rather the movement has 'created' him."
  • LaKayeMichelle responds to Ta-Nehisi's post. LaKaye: "As the nomination process went on, Barack's blackness came on display. Suddenly, black folks didn't see Barack as not 'black' enough, they saw him as 'one of us.' What we failed to realize is that Barack is everyone of us. He's not black or white, he's a human being."
