Laura Flanders is hosted a discussion yesterday about Obama's first year

[EFerrari]

or, more precisely, about the upheaval on the left right now. It's not pro or anti Obama as much as it is reflective, imo. It mirrors a lot of the discussion here right now only without all the cussing. LoL

"It’s the end of 2009. We’re still in two wars, Guantanamo is not yet closed, and the jobless numbers are still sky-high. What happened to all the optimism we started the year with? There have been bright spots and not-so-bright spots, nasty political fights and moments of progress.

Maya Wiley of the Center for Social Inclusion, Danny Schechter of News Dissector, and Max Blumenthal, author of Republican Gomorrah, discuss the highs and lows of 2009 from the inauguration to the bank bailouts, health care reform to Sarah Palin."

I am on the left and I am not upheaving.

Happy Holidays EFerrari.

3. Apparently even pointing out the divide is unacceptable

At least around here.
