Iraq - End of the American Dream?
2008-06-10 19:45:00 Watch out for the next edition of Middle East Today where we ask the the question: If we look at what the Western mainstream media thought was going to happen before Nouri Al-Maliki's visit to Iran, and what actually did happen - let?s get the first and obvious question out of the way before we go into details. Is Maliki setting himself up for a serious confrontation with the United States? Let's face it, Washington can?t be happy, especially with the defense cooperation agreement for example?Full story and links will be posted on Thursday, so please come back!

The American Dream lives!
2008-05-07 18:03:00 Barack Obama delivered the following remarks (as prepared) in Raleigh, North Carolina, last night...You know, some were saying that North Carolina would be a game-changer in this election. But today, what North Carolina decided is that the only game that needs changing is the one in Washington, DC.I want to start by congratulating Senator Clinton on her victory in the state of Indiana. And I want to thank the people of North Carolina for giving us a victory in a big state, a swing state, and a state where we will compete to win if I am the Democratic nominee for President of the United States.When this campaign began, Washington didn?t give us much of a chance. But because you came out in the bitter cold, and knocked on doors, and enlisted your friends and neighbors in this cause; because you stood up to the cynics, and the doubters, and the nay-sayers when we were up and when we were down; because you still believe that this is our moment, and our time, for change ? tonight we stan...

Looking At the Vanishing American Dream
2008-05-06 11:17:00 The distribution of income in the United States is becoming more unequal! Labor still captures about two-thirds of national income, but only skilled workers have benefited. See *Rich Nation, poor NationAsia's crony capitalism has proved that it isn't ready for prime time. Europe's mixed economies perch on a powder keg of 20 percent youth unemployment.America - Get RealIn the American system - for the last quarter century, virtually all the rewards of growth have gone to the educated, enterprising and already affluent. See *As Cheap Oil EndsAmericans are delusional, They think they can continue living the way they?ve been living for the last 50 years. They think the key to it is to find a way to keep getting fuel.For Americans, the American way of life is non-negotiable. The trouble is, Americans may not be willing to negotiate. But if they don?t, they are going to find that someone else is negotiating for them. And that someone else is called reality.Higher fuel prices will chan...

Living the American Dream
2008-04-11 20:12:00 For years now I've had a love affair with diners. And, while I do enjoy pretty much any old diner with retro attitude, what I really lerve is the real deal--the prefab dining car with a counter and stools, and stainless steel so shiny you can see it a mile away. Sit me down there, pour me a tall chocolate Coke, and serve up some pie à la mode! Since about 2001 I've entertained the notion of writing a book on classic diners. During my "vacation" after the dot-com bust, I scoured the web and made an authoritative listing of all existing classic diner cars, broken down by region. My original intent was to do a road trip and chronicle the foods, designs, and cultures found at these places. Thoughts of money and cholesterol held me back, and then, alas, Amazon.com came calling. So, now I just enjoy the diners on vacations, working them into the roads we travel. This morning I thought I'd check in on the American Diner Museum website and I discovered that they list classic diners th...

The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream (Paperback)
2008-02-28 07:13:00 Barack Obama's first book, Dreams from My Father, was a compelling and moving memoir focusing on personal issues of race, identity, and community. With his second book The Audacity of Hope, Obama engages themes raised in his keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, shares personal views on faith and values and offers a vision of the future that involves repairing a "political process that is broken" and restoring a government that has fallen out of touch with the people. We had the opportunity to ask Senator Obama a few questions about writing, reading, and politics--see his responses below. --Daphne Durham
How current inequality is shattering the American Dream
2008-02-27 11:44:00 Social justice, as manifested in the American Dream, compromises two socio-economic principles. One is the belief that if people work hard, attain an education and make the most of their skills they can become successful. The other is the belief that everyone ought to have a chance at self-actualization and economic success. Both beliefs are undermined by excessive income inequality. The difference in compensation between the members of the upper class and upper middle class simply does not match the difference in qualifications and societal contributions. The gap between the rich and the bottom 99% has grown out of proportion, especially when compared to the much smaller gap between the upper middle and working class. If upper middle class professionals hold the highest educational attainment and most prestigious positions within society, how can the gap between the capitalist class and professional class be so much larger than the gap between the working and professional class?The...

Subprime Mortgages are NOT the American Dream
2008-01-28 01:35:00 This story is sad, in more ways than one. Yes, it is sad that so many people have been evicted from their homes. Yes, it is sad that jobs are moving elsewhere. Yes, it is sad that the housing market has gone south. But to me, the saddest part of this story is the belief that “someone else is to blame.” “Folks could not afford their payments. They were asked to pay loans which doubled. They could not afford it, some lost their job. Lenders were greedy. They threw them out of their homes,” she told AFP. It’s the greedy bankers’ fault, those mean and nasty mortgage companies who are only in it to make a dollar. It is definitely NOT the fault of the people who signed mortgages they couldn’t afford, who lied about their employment. For county treasurer Jim Rokakis, the greed of the banks is to blame for this man-made disaster. “All you needed was a pulse to buy a house. Some loans were written with no money down, no proof of buyer&...

Having grown up in a musical family for the better part of my years, music has played a more than significant role in my life. While I was considering what to submit in this post, The ?American Dream? is what kept going through my mind. It is such a common and widely used term. What does it really mean? I guess that depends on who you ask. Can the quest for the American D...
The American Dream: A Short History of an Idea that Shaped a Nation ???:???
2007-11-06 13:58:00 Jim Cullen, "The American Dream: A Short History of an Idea that Shaped a Nation"???:??????Oxford University Press | ISBN: 0195173252 | 224 pages | PDF | 1,7 MbWhen a small group of 17th-century English religious dissenters crossed the Atlantic Ocean in search of a place where they could worship God in their own unique fashion, they were following a dream. These early settlers, the Puritans, paved the way for subsequent American dreamers, and, Cullen (Born in the U.S.A.: Bruce Springsteen and the American Tradition) argues, "you'll never really understand what it means to be an American of any creed, color, or gender if you don't try to imagine the shape of that dream." Subsequent versions of the American Dream have pushed to the fore and, in the process, changed the shape of the nation. Cullen particularly focuses on the founding fathers and the Declaration of Independence ("the charter of the American Dream"); Abraham Lincoln, with his rise from log cabin to White House and his ...
