...Rappoport's right. If Obama gave a passionate speech about these lists, I've no doubt he would admonish us to close the chasm of misunderstanding between the races and find common ground in the blogosphere! And that shouldn't be too hard. Obama himself clocks in at #8 for Whites and #12 for Educated Blacks. And he's obviously #1 on our hypothetical list of Stuff Mixed People Like. Maybe I'll put all the other stuff white people like on that list...
Obama says his political consultant David Axelrod has occasionally felt the need to admonish him and his campaign "not to sit in the middle of the town square and set ourselves on fire." And, he says, "there will be those in my party who resist" his ideas. But, he adds, "there's got to be some element of truth telling in this year's campaign because the problems we face are too tough to try to finesse. If we do that, then we may win an election, but we won't solve the problems." In other words, Obama is betting...
...point here is not to find a new culprit to blame for the start of the conflict, but rather to admonish the dishonest proposition in the U.S. media that Israel justifiably responded to an unprovoked act of aggression from Hamas. That simply was not the case. And by presenting a fraudulent timeline of events, each media outlet holds responsibility for fundamentally altering how the conflict was perceived...

But back at Labour, fighting between Brownites and Blairites continues unabated. Bill Clinton - who botched his own handoff to Al Gore - was brought in to admonish delegates to "stay in the future business, and the people will get it"; a sensible warning, but probably insufficient to rein in the discord. The truest note of the week was struck by someone in Brown's inner circle, who should be enthusiastic about being on No. 10's threshold...
Most Germans would probably welcome lower taxes. But Gerhard Schröder is preaching against it. For months now, the Chancellor has taken every opportunity to admonish his new E.U. neighbors to the east for their low tax rates. In Schröder's eyes, they are freeloaders, taking E.U. aid to build up their economies while stealing business from nations like his. "It is certainly unreasonable that we finance an unbridled tax competition among each other via the budget of the European Union," he said in Poland on May 26. Germany is expected to press its case again...
