The election is past, but this video is still interesting.

More of my political information. Certainly not unbiased. I have long considered myself a Republican. I voted for Bush the first time (but was severely disappointed in the final resolution). This page continues my contribution to the political discourse of our current election campaign.

Here is more information, clearly not “independent” relevant to the current election campaign. The source of this video is http://www.keatingeconomics.com. The NY Times has a brief story about this at http://www.nytimes.com/external/gigaom/2008/10/06/06gigaom-obama-puts-keating-economics-short-online-9540.html. The LA Times story is here http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-keating7-2008oct07,0,7970180.story. The second video below is CNN’s review of the video pronouncing the video TRUE.

Please note that the investigation cleared John McCain of all criminal wrongdoing; instead the Senate Ethics Committee reprimanded him for “poor judgement”.

This is part of the campaign dialog. I offer it as part of that dialog.

I’ve been waiting to post this until “both sides” were available.
I’m talking about the analyses from Garr Reynolds, who writes the Presentation Zen website.
In two recent posts he dissected both Barack Obama’s acceptance speech and John McCain’s.
I won’t reproduce his postings here. You need to go to his site and read both of them.
1) 02.Sep.2008, Obama delivers speech like a symphony
2) 09.Sep.2008, John McCain’s background visuals
So, yes … stop right here … right now … and check out these two posts from Garr Reynolds. They might help you next time you need to make a major presentation.
That said, what I will present here is something Garr pointed me to that truly surprised me. No, it wasn’t the pointing that surprised me, it was what he pointed to … Pat Buchanan heaping praise on Obama’s speech. I love Pat Buchanan. I frequently … probably usually … disagree with him, but I respect his opinion and try to watch him each week on The McLaughlin Group. As Garr wrote, “When Pat Buchanan can’t stop praising the speech of a Democrat, either pigs are flying, or it was indeed a remarkable speech.” For me, both because of my respect for Pat Buchanan and also because I support Barack Obama, this was a real treat.

Lawrence Lessig is one of my favorite authors and commentators. This commentary struck me as one great example of how isolated snippets can be easily used to justify the wrong information.
