"1) Raines' actions are not well documented, in fact the biggest issue is that he was CEO when a lot of the other execs were doing illegal actions. And as CEO he was responsible.
2) Raines has no connection to the Obama campaign other then being black.
After further reading your comment I decided not to take the time to refute a lot of your other ridiculous claims. Not to say I can't, just too lazy atm." - Tal Atlas
"Anyone who's seen Obama debate knows he's not a strong debater. I don't believe people came in with him being the favorite.
I did stumble upon the twitter election thing myself, it was VERY cool. I'd love to see the ability for users to make such custom chat rooms.
If they opened up their jabber "firehose" again someone could probably make such things." - Tal Atlas
"I think the "that's not true John" comments really helped Obama. I agree that Obama fumbled parts of the earmark system, he should have brought up his ethics bill right away. Oddly I thought McCain did a little better on the economy then on foreign policy, although Obama did get backed into a nasty corner when talking about meeting with hostile leaders. On this subject I think they were both, basically, arguing the same point. On a lot of the other FP issues Obama really hammered McCain and I think that's where he got his victory. I thought both were very weak on the economic questions, as Begala said: you would have no idea that we're in the middle of a crisis. they're saying the same things they would have said two months ago. I am a bit surprised by the lopsided numbers coming out of the debate but I do agree with most analysts that nobody knocked this one out of the park in a general sense. The thing about debates is that one subject generally is enough to make someone believe..." - Tal Atlas
"I agree with some aspects on this, especially on the Heart letter. But I do think that there is merit to Sorkin's letter, and not just to those who hopelessly love Jeb Bartlett.
This campaign needs a sense of outrage. There seems to be a lack of gravity to both the issues that are to come and the issues that were major and now have sort of faded (the war namely). I don't hear enough pounding on the fact that the war has cost us so much. These things matter and I think Obama has been trying, but not necessarily successful, at keeping the discourse on the issues.
Outrage and anger arnt really the same thing, you need to lend gravity to the subject without coming off as insane." - Tal Atlas
"I really wish more houses had water as design feature.
On another note that supreme court building is pretty ugly. The vast expanse of flat concrete really are terrible. I'm not sure if the building itself would be more attractive in a nicer environment." - Tal Atlas
"What equipment do you use for a lot of these self-portraits? A lot of your indoor ones have incredible lighting and this one has great clarity (aside from a little on the right side on the frame).
This shot has the great composition but especially some of your indoor shots impress me." - Tal Atlas
"I've been preaching about them opening up the API for a while now. It's really a shame that it hasn't happened already. The community always is able to come up with compelling and innovative ideas." - Tal Atlas
"Should just say: "Welcome to nothingness. You'll want to speed though our state as fast as you can but we put up speed traps everywhere because it's our only form of income." - Tal Atlas
"Heh, when I was a kid my parents would get me Haribo whenever we went on a trip. Now they hold a special place for me. I can't really just buy them willy nilly, it always feels special when i get them." - Tal Atlas
"I did overreact in my post. But I viewed your post as a bit of mindless anti-Americanism. By mindless I mean if it weren't America who was doing this you wouldn't have a second thought about it.
The actual scoring sorting are completely subjective and none are (in)correct. To that effect they are completely meaningless anyways. The issue that I take is that you even thought enough of it to bring it up as anything other than an anecdote." - Tal Atlas
