Obama's First Year: It Ain't No Crystal Staircase

By Robert Borosage
November 5, 2009

Well, son, I'll tell you:

It's had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,

And reachin' landin's,
And turnin' corners...

By Tom Gallagher
From commondreams.org
November 3rd, 2009

commondreams.org — Campaign for Americas Future every so often carries stories along the lines of "Where is the outrage?". This article from a peace activist asks the question but takes it one step further and gets out to find out for himself why peace demos are so poorly attended
