[edit] Alter: Passing the torch

1 December 2008, by Jonathan Alter (erstwhile Baby Boomer columnist; it’s OK, I’m a fan) writes recently in Newsweek on the positive legacy of the Boomers, the next generations, new technology, Chicago, and the election of Barack Obama. Here’s a good sample: For all of their narcissism, these baby boomers proved good at one thing—raising children. Their offspring, on balance, turned out to be more politically practical and socially responsible. I’d argue that our latch-key childhood might disprove Alter’s initial o

24 November 2008, by There has been a substantial amount of interest placed on whether President-elect Barack Obama will carry his Blackberry with him when he’s president. Conventional wisdom suggests that he won’t.  First, there was this piece in The New York Times by Jeff Zeleny which raised myriad reasons why the president of the united states should be sans Blackberry, the most notable of which is that it allows people to bypass the bureaucracy and for Mr. Obama to do so as well. That might sound appealing, but

[edit] Jon Alter: Bill Clinton's 'Very, Very Positive' Global Work Shouldn't Raise Conflicts for Hillary

19 November 2008, by On Tuesday’s Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC, Newsweek’s Jonathan Alter couldn’t imagine why anyone would see conflict-of-interest troubles if Hillary Clinton becomes Secretary of State while her husband the ex-president has a sprawling international foundation with its mitts in a long list of countries. Alter insisted all of Clinton’s work is "very, very positive. It’s been for great causes around the world." Alison Stewart guest-hosted for Maddow, and pushed the button that started Alter’s Bill-b

[edit] Obama Wise Enough to Echo My Thoughts

17 November 2008, by (Link to 60 Minutes video at the end of the post) In last night's 60 Minutes interview with President-Elect Obama, Obama said something around twenty minutes in that made me sit up and take notice.  He began by referencing a book by Jonathan Alter I recently read about FDR's first 100 days in office (The Defining Moment:  FDR's First One Hundred Days and the Triumph of Hope).  Cool.  Obama and I are reading the same things.  Then he gave me even more reason to respect him--his takeaway from the

27 October 2008, by All indications are that the First 100 Days of the next president will start early, according to an article, “Obama’s 100 Days Start Early,” by Jared Allen in The Hill, which covers Congress.  He foresees congressional action right after the elections, given the growing economic problems the country is facing.  The recent announcement of a global economic summit on November 15th also portends pre-Inaugural actions.   Similarly, the Washington Post’s Dan Balz describes Franklin Roosevelt’s transi

[edit] Squeamish

26 October 2008, by By GottaLaff Just now on MSNBC, David Shuster was interviewing Jonathan Alter. Alter brought up how voters who are later to the game are often the more uninformed ones. That means they could be more susceptible to Gramm-pa McCain's lies and smears. He also reiterated, for those who haven't yet heard, that most people start paying attention to the election after the World Series is over. Put these two points together and we may see the race tightening, which is what so many have predicted. Al

[edit] Alter Puts Obama & McCain’s Legislative Contributions Side by Side

24 October 2008, by Jonathan Alter offers a stunning reality check on Obama and McCain’s comparative legislative records: Obama served eight years in Springfield, and has been in Washington nearly four so far. In the Illinois state Senate, he authored about a half-dozen “major laws” on issues ranging from ethics to education. The best example of his leadership style was bipartisan legislation to require the videotaping of police interrogations, which is now a national model… In Washington he has his name on thre

[edit] counterpoint taken

20 October 2008, by I agree with Newsweek’s Jonathan Alter:The question for the new president then becomes not whether he's moving too fast but too slow. The test becomes whether he can use the powers of government to act on behalf of the American people. That is a fundamentally liberal idea.This was offered as a “counterpoint,” as the magazine calls it, to Jon Meacham’s cover story—to which I say, point not taken.Labels: 2008 elections, establishment media, Jon Meacham, Jonathan Alter, Newsweek

23 September 2008, by Last night on MSNBC’s Countdown With Keith Olbermann, Newsweek’s Jonathan Alter wondered how John McCain is "getting a free ride" in this economic crisis after having been at the center of Keating Five, the last big banking scandal. He also notes that instead of coming out of that mess in favor of more regulation, McCain [...]

23 September 2008, by High Five! I know that Suzanne has long been a big proponent of raising McCain’s involvement in the Keating Five scandal as a campaign issue.  I’ve been somewhat skeptical, mostly on the account of it being almost 20 years ago.  However, Newsweek’s Jon Alter, a card-carrying member of the MSM if there every was one, makes a good case of why McCain’s involvement in “last great financial scandal in our country,” even if it was 20 years ago, is very much an issue — in a nutshell, he learned nothin

[edit] MSNBC Plays The Race Card

20 September 2008, by You would have to figure that Rachel Maddow would try to one-up Keith Olbermann on the race-baiting front. That's right, I said race-baiting, because the Left, too, can play the race-baiting game. Maddowite liberals can simply declare that something is racist--maybe everything that isn't actively pro-Barack Obama is racist--confident that no editorial control at MSNBC/NBC/GE will stop them from making ridiculous slanders, and equally confident that MSNBC's tiny but zealous audience will lap i
