's 30 Minute Infomercial SOURCE All the reason you need for this superb 30 minute look into the heart of the Obama effort, to change the lot of ordinary people not by magic but by common, reasoned effort, is found in the disgusting death rattle of the McCain campaign, a feast of negativism. This is exactly what this campaign has always been about. Moving beyond the Lee Atwater legacy, the impotence of divided government, the bilious lies ground out by the Tucker Bounds's and read from Crystal City cue cards by the hapless candidate. The following video is moving, truthful and persuasive.



The McCain effort is choking on its transparent incoherence, flailing and lies.

McCain Is Losing Core Groups SOURCE

Consider, instead, three recent polls in the context of the Bush years. Obama and McCain are now in a "statistical dead heat" among born-again evangelicals, those Rovian foot soldiers of two successful Bush elections, according to a recent survey; and the same seems to be true in Sarah Palin's "real America," those rural and small town areas she's praised to the skies. According to a poll commissioned by the Center for Rural Strategies, in those areas which Bush won in 2004 by 53%-41%, Obama now holds a statistically insignificant one point lead. To complete this little trifecta, Gallup has just released a poll showing that Jews are now likely to vote for Obama by a more than 3 to 1 majority (74% to 22%).

And Middle America Has Changed SOURCE

But A Simple Realization Trumps The McCain Effort SOURCE

Call me naive, but I think white males, startled by job cuts and the devastation wreaked upon their retirement savings, are finally getting the point: Someone's got to pay for this mess, and better those who got rich off the stock market theft than the rest of us.

Can you imagine the uproar now if the McCain-Bush plan to privatize Social Security by linking it to stock purchases had become law? And have you noticed that the Wall Street crooks are not using the bailout money to ease credit but rather to line their golden parachutes? They know how to take care of their retirement.

I don't think McCain gets that the rest of us could use a bit more lift from the government safety net. That's the same federal support that GM CEO Rick Wagoner asked about when he went, hat in hand, to Washington on Monday to lobby for a $10-billion gift to keep his company out of bankruptcy. Or is the CEO of GM just another tax-and-spend socialist?

As Barack Said Last Night, We Have A Simple Remedy SOURCE

In one week, we can choose an economy that rewards work and creates new jobs and fuels prosperity from the bottom-up.

In one week, we can choose to invest in health care for our families, and education for our kids, and renewable energy for our future.

In one week, we can choose hope over fear, unity over division, the promise of change over the power of the status quo.

In one week, we can come together as one nation, and one people, and once more choose our better history.

That's what's at stake. That's what we're fighting for. And if in this last week, you will knock on some doors for me, and make some calls for me, and talk to your neighbors, and convince your friends; if you will stand with me, and fight with me, and give me your vote, then I promise you this – we will not just win Florida, we will not just win this election, but together, we will change this country and we will change the world.

Niebuhr himself regarded the mainline churches as trivial said little to arrest their decline in influence.

Niebuhr's neo-orthodoxy failed to articulate a basis for effective Christian action in a polarized and corrupt social and political environment. It led to a sort of stasis.

Reinhold's brother H. R. Niebuhr said, astutely in 1960, that both liberalism and neo-orthoxy were at an end. He was right. Creedal religion is at an end now.

4 has brilliantly comprehended the potential role of churches in a swiftly secularizing society and may give them a new lease on life and a new theological self-understanding.

5. Niebuhr's Hamletlike viewpoint has only tangental relevance to the struggles of the last four or five decades.
