誰もが知っている ケネディー大統領 の娘、 彼女が選考委員である理由は、彼女がオバマ支持を発表した今年1月の NY Times 投稿文に全て説明してありますね。
"I want a president who understands that his responsibility is to articulate a vision and encourage others to achieve it; who holds himself, and those around him, to the highest ethical standards; who appeals to the hopes of those who still believe in the American Dream, and those around the world who still believe in the American ideal; and who can lift our spirits, and make us believe again that our country needs every one of us to get involved.
I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them. But for the first time, I believe I have found the man who could be that president ― not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans."
Primary exit polls conducted for The Associated Press illustrate the generational shift that has helped Barack Obama secure the Democratic presidential nomination. About 56 percent of Democrats younger than age 30 supported Obama. That number dropped steadily with each age bracket to a low of 30 percent for voters 65 and older.
Many young voters say a diverse background is an asset for a candidate.
Wall Street Journal が Bloombergの敵対だったとは知りませんでした!
だからか〜!! 良い勉強になりました。サンクスです。
Juan Williams氏の今までの意見を注意深く注目していた訳ではなく、時々NPRで名前が出てきて、あぁこの人良いこと言うなぁ、と思っていただけなんです。
だから今回の件で化けの皮が剥がれたというか、彼の本性を知ったという感じです。
これからは With a grain of salt で彼のコメントを聴くことにします。
ED ROLLINS は、不幸にも人種問題は常に出てくる問題だけど、、マッケインは人種問題を選挙に利用する人ではないだろう と考えてます。
そして 共和党の ED ROLLINS は すご〜〜く良い事を言ってました、、、
以下がそうです。
Barack Obama certainly doesn't want to use it. I think this is a campaign about taking America to a different place. You know, I think the bottom line is Barack Obama, as long as he is putting forward a message that's for all Americans, and there's not anger -- the danger here in why whites sometimes get upset, it's about anger. It's about, as you said in your column, it's about grievance. And if someone is fair and sits across a table and argues with their different points of view, as Martin Luther King did. Martin Luther King could have said, "Burn, baby burn" and burned this country down in the '60s. He didn't. He basically tried to bring people together and make people very socially conscious. And I think that's why he was one of the most successful leaders ever. Some of the leaders who followed him were more militant and, obviously, turned people off.
私もWall Street JournalがBloombergの敵だったと聞いて、びっくりしました! Bloombergは、個人的にも企業に就職を考えていたので(スミマセン、余談!)、オバマ支持を出していてすごくうれしいです。
>ゲストスピーカーの1人 MARCUS MABRY( NY Times National Business Edito>r )によると、、、、、オバマがヒラリーに勝った理由の一つは、
>a large number of white voters saw him as post-racial. In other words, Mr. Obama was black but not too black
>多数の白人がオバマは黒人だけど、余りにも黒人過ぎなくて、次の世代の人種と思っ
>ているそうです。
すごく興味深いです。いつも思うのですが、オバマの話し方も、「白人の話し方」なので、それもnot too blackと言われる理由のひとつかもしれませんね。

オバマみたいな次世代の黒人政治家、活動家達が米国で育っているそうです。彼等は the Civil Rights Movement の後に生まれてきたジェネレーションで、 過去の 攻撃的で白人層から嫌われた黒人活動家達とは全く違った考えを持っています。 お互いに連絡しあいながら貧困問題に対処しています。
この 現 ニュージャージー州、ニューアーク市長 Cory Anthony Booker もオバマの親友だそうです。 以前、PBS の BILL MOYERS が 彼にインタビューしていました。
>Although she devoted her adult life to working for Clinton, Solis Doyle left the Clinton world surrounded by a cloud of acrimony, blamed by some close Clinton loyalists -- and reportedly Clinton herself -- for failing to keep the campaign in order heading into Iowa. After being yanked from her role, Solis Doyle had said she would travel with the campaign and remain on as an adviser, but Clinton effectively cut her off and she was not seen on the road again.
The NYT newsroom was buzzing late Monday afternoon after Obama-beat reporter Jeff Zeleny learned how the Dem hopeful has now finalized his choice for a running-mate.
Obama has set an elaborate roll-out to announce his decision that will begin with an early morning e-mail to supporters, perhaps as early as Tuesday, Zeleny and Adam Nagourney have been told.
A top source close to Caroline Kennedy tells DRUDGE -- the pick is more likely to come early Wednesday morning.
Is it Nunn? Is it Kaine? Is Hillary there? What about Kerry? Bayh? Biden?
さて、、誰でしょうか?????
これはちょっと古い情報ですが、、、、
