[Peace-discuss] Did Arianna Huffington wake up on the RIGHT side of the bed?

[C. G. Estabrook]

  What can you possibly object to in the rather anodyne but accurate account 
that Arianna offers?

E.g., "We have had endless conversations about jobs will be our priority, jobs 
will be our focus, but it is not really happening. The president asks for all 
ideas. We have all been screaming many ideas, you know Republican, Democrats, 
from payroll tax holiday to a really serious infrastructure and jobs program to 
a green bank and to an infrastructure bank, to tax credits for small businesses. 
The ideas are out there. What is missing is that sense of urgency and the 
political will."

That's obviously correct.  The only objectionable point I see here (and Arianna 
has elsewhere offered objectionable points, I admit) is her apparent enthusiasm 
for Arne Duncan.  I hope she's right about him, but a lot of people don't think so.

Was there anything else?  --CGE
