About time Meredith got some accolades. She writes very informative pieces each month.

I made the same argument in a blog a few weeks back "The Israeli Settlement Question" at The Theory of Mediocrity (I think March 16th).

If both parties are going to live side by side, then both Jews and Palestines should be able to live in each others country.

This standoff has been going on for some time. I wrote a blog about it myself last November called Obama Versus McChrystal. This is certainly not the first time Obama has reprimanded McChrystal.

I tried to point out to people that loved Obama during the campaign that as a legislator he wrote very little legislation. In fact, he even avoided voting on controversial issues. Thus, he does not know how to get legislation through congress (which may not be a bad thing). This comes down to problem solving skills and I think Obama lacks this. I am starting a multipart series today on Obama's lack of problem solving skills at The Theory of Mediocrity.

Obama once again says the right things in his speeched about race such as his latest one at the NAACP conference. However, his actions are much different. I too blogged about this subject today at the Theory of Mediocrity.
