Anti-war activists challenge Obama at West Point graduation

While the President spoke to cadets during commencement, more than 100 challenged his war making

When did the left wake up to this? Saint Obama has been in office since January 2009, and as such has been the Commander in Chief of our Armed Forces since the very second he was sworn in. The left should open their eyes and smell the coffee more often.

No Thanks to the WBAI Crowd

The Justice and Unity website seems not to have changed in what 9 months?
Meanwhile by the reports by we got last Falls elections were a total farce.

Yet even before Steve Brown and his Scientology allies took over the programming was awful. Their takeover has made a dire situation worse.

Short of the station going out it is extemely doubtful that WBAI will get better. Its time to admit that we have all been had. Its to pull the plug, regroup and go on from there.

WBAI coverage, Obama and the wars...

I covered Obama's pro-war inclinations as he made them known, and gave Cynthia McKinney and Ralph Nader more coverage than anyone in the Pacifica network. The only resistance I got was, essentially, 'benign neglect' from the network-wide programs - e.g., Democracy Now and FSRN/Election 411, which gave scant coverage to third party campaigns despite my making a lot of material available from McKinney and Nader.

FWIW, I personally supported McKinney in 2008 and Nader in 1996, 2000 and 2004.

Wow!

Good going. They "challenged" him. How productive, I'm sure. Bet he's changed his mind.

Huh?

You can't protest Obama. He's black. He's a democrat, right? All this mess is not his fault-- he just INHERITED it, right? He can't do anything about it. Not his fault. And, he's black.
