The Ballad of April 19th 2010 — by Rachel Neulander

The bank swap investigation story just took an interesting turn for Michael Bennet and his protege Tom Boasberg. School Board members have repeatedly asked for an audit of the Bank Swap between Denver Public Schools and JP Morgan.
Tom Boasberg and the Bennet campaign have attack these board members as asking for an audit due to political motivations caused by the Primary.
Thanks to an email record provided by a School Board member,
this can be proven to be factually wrong.
The evidence points to a concerted effort to cover up details about the swap that was reported in last Friday’s New York Times investigation .
The New York Times discovered that
Denver Public Schools has lost 25 million dollars from Michael Bennet’s investment swap and will have to pay 81 million in termination fees to get out of the swap.

Until they do, they are just blowing smoke up our asses. The media needs to do its job and demand answers from this administration. Potential charges for BP seem to have placated the media into believing the administration is somehow now control of this out of control shipwreck.

Ted Strickland’s bid for re-election may be in trouble.

Multiple violations of several provisions of the Convention Against Torture should result in an investigation of President Obama.

The recent post on Daily Kos by Jed Lewison, criticizing Jane Hamsher, is a great example of how progressives shoot themselves in the foot and help ensure that our side loses the big battles.

OnJune 26, 2003, President Bush issued a statement that said: “I call on all governments to join with the United States and the community of law-abiding nations in prohibiting, investigating, and prosecuting all acts of torture …” Why won’t Obama do the same?

This is copy of a letter I have just sent to the President. Call it the dying of faith, but it begins to seem the issue which made me change my support during the primaries was just a political promise designed to get the votes of people like me. I feel like a fool.

It is all very well for us to voice our opinions about what should be done, but when the rubber hits the road, if we want any kind of change, we must act.

A suggestion for getting conservatives to stand up for principle over party.
