he should stay and work on SF's humongous list of problems.  He is abandoning the ship and leaving it rudderless.  But maybe it won't make much difference.  

could make a huge stink and make the Republicans look foolish and venal.

But don't count on it.   The Democrats are the Masters of Missed Opportunities.

and now you say it's unethical at the very least.  That's a pretty wide range.  This topic isn't easily addressed, is it?  

I don't like abortion very much myself.  I agree with you about education, however.   Let's try to prevent unwanted pregnancies through good education and expanded access to contraception.   But let's leave the decision in the hands of the people who are concerned:  the women and their families, not the government, not the church, not the neighbors down the street.  

Do you think the laws should be changed?  If so, please state what penalties you advocate.

outside of your narrow exceptions, then what should the penalties be?  Do you think a woman who has an abortion should go to jail?
Her doctor?  Her nurse?  

I am seriously interested in your response.

IOKIYAR.

if she made this decision entirely on her own?

Did she think it might give Obama a nudge in the right direction?

There are lots of unanswered questions here, but the main thing tonight is to give a hearty "Bravo!" to Hillary Clinton for doing the right thing!

Now it's your turn, Mr. President.

You're right, I haven't been around lately.   If there have been changes, that's mighty  nice!  I'll make a point to look for them.

It's a long weekend, the Supreme Court nomination is pending, Nancy Pelosi isn't that popular these days, even among Democrats, and Americans are more worried about their 401ks.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that the Democratic party sucks at defending its own.  

If this were happening to a Republican, you can bet that the response would be coordinated and fierce.  

If I'm wrong, I'll be delighted!

They have clearly lost all bearings.  Not to mention all common sense.

Do the Democrats have the wherewithal to respond with appropriate outrage?  I somehow doubt it.

Really ,now.  Riverdaughter is irrelevant.  Why go there?  One look is enough for a lifetime.  As I said, the election is over and it's time to move along.

in quite some time, but I can see that MyDD is still a vipers' tangle.
A diary like this is bad enough, but some of the comments are even worse.

Why the obsession with PUMA?  Isn't the election over?  Didn't Obama win?  Move on, guys.  

speaking at events all over the country, then that's all the more reason for Obama to pick a minister who ISN"T homophobic to speak at his inauguration.  By picking Warren, Obama is lending his seal of approval to such bigotry.

Statement by Rea Carey, Executive Director
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force

"President-elect Obama campaigned on a theme of inclusivity, yet the selection of Rick Warren to give the invocation is a direct affront to that very principle. This was a divisive choice, and clearly not one that will help our country come together and heal. We urge President-elect Obama to withdraw his invitation to Rick Warren and instead select a faith leader who embraces fairness, equality and the ideals the president-elect himself has called the nation to uphold."

I agree with this statement.  Obama made a big error in judgement here.
