Wife of Trapped Chilean Miner Gives Birth to 'Hope'
By Lauren Frayer - AOL News(Sept. 15) -- One of the 33 Chilean miners trapped underground for 40 days has become a father to a girl named Hope. Elizabeth Segovia, wife of trapped miner Ariel Ticona, gave birth Tuesday to a healthy baby girl. The couple had planned to name her Carolina, but decided to change her name to Esperanza, the Spanish word for "hope." A maternity ward nurse at a hospital in Copiapo, where many of the trapped miners' families live, told The Associated Press the baby was born at 12:20 p.m. local time, weighing nearly 7 pounds and measuring almost 19 inches long. A cheer went up through the ...
Polling Shows Hope Floats ... Away From Obama
By Joseph Schuman - AOL News(June 7) -- Has President Barack Obama lost his ability to inspire hope? Shepard Fairey, the artist whose iconic, Warhol-style "Hope" poster became one of the most enduring images of the 2008 presidential campaign, seems to think so. In an interview appearing in this month's Angelino magazine, Fairey says the president he helped elect is "not pushing hard enough." Shepard Fairey / AP Shepard Fairey, the artist who designed the "Hope" poster, says President Obama is "not pushing hard enough." "I had a lot of hope for Obama, but it's not panning out," he says. Fairey was speaking in the ...
Bill Clinton Back in Arkansas, Campaigning for Sen. Blanche Lincoln
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyThe Man from Hope is going home -- again. Former President Bill Clinton headed to Arkansas Friday to campaign for Sen. Blanche Lincoln, who is in a tough runoff for the Democratic nomination for her own seat against Lt. Gov. Bill Halter. Clinton, appearing on behalf of Lincoln at an event in Little Rock, has chosen to support the incumbent in the Democratic Party squabble -- and also the moderate candidate against the more liberal Halter. "She has written the toughest Wall Street reform proposal to help Main Street businesses," Clinton said in an e-mail released by Lincoln's campaign. "She ...
Bill Clinton Tells President Obama to Turn Up the Hope
By David Knowles - Politics DailyThe man from Hope (Arkansas) has message for the guy who ran on Hope: Bring back the Hope! Though Bill Clinton gives Barack Obama an "A" for his first month in office, the conspicuous absence of a plus on the report card can be attributed to the regrettable fact that the current president hasn't always sugar-coated the news concerning our abysmal economic situation. As great communicators go, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton were two of the most noted presidential cheerleaders in our history. Indeed, each one brought his own arsenal of optimism to the task of rallying the nation during tough ...
Politics of Fear Still Very Much Alive
By Dave - Politics DailyJanuary 20, 2009: "We come together because we have chosen hope over fear and unity of purpose over conflict and discord." February 5th, 2009: "Because we know that if we do not act, a bad situation will become dramatically worse and a crisis will turn into a catastrophe for families and businesses." Boy I'm sure glad we elected the hope-y and change-y president over that mean old scaremonger from the GOP! Calm down, Dave. It's just words, man, just words. ...
Hippies Use the Back Door
By Dave - Politics DailyAn excellent video from Redstate: Hilarious. Yes we would have all had awesome hopey-changiness right now, but for that darned economy that was Bush's fault which is the reason we wanted the change but won't get it. Good luck untwisting the logic. Apparently the big Bush-Badness trumped the hopey-changey. Oh Well.Oh and you hippies? Time to go away now. ...
McCain/Palin a Reform Ticket
By Dave - Politics DailyAndrea Mitchell, From MTP yesterday: The interesting thing is that John McCain has--as Mike has said--has returned to the original John McCain, the maverick. We are told that he wanted to pick Joe Lieberman. They tested it. He wanted to throw that long ball, and having tried that and having been shot down by the conservative base, he still wanted to fight Washington, to choose someone who took on Ted Stevens, and to take on the public corruption issue, and to say, Washington is broken. They decided they've reached a ceiling. The experienced argument was not working. They had to adapt and take ...
A New Theme for the Fall?
By Denise Williams - Politics DailyWill this be the be one of the dog whistle phrases used in the general election season if Obama is the Dem nominee? Before attending the Senate Armed Services Committee hearings today, McCain attended a rally held by Vets for Freedom and was introduced by former Army Staff Sargeant David Bellavia. While not mentioning either Dem candidate by name, but by way of saying who he'd rather have as a role model for his kids, Bellavia refers to McCain as the "real audacity of hope". While the Woods' analogy is by no means trashing Obama - Tiger has come to represent strength, tenacity and drive - ...
Obama-McCain Letters: From Hope to Hatred
By Ken Layne - Politics Daily"Instead, what began as a promising collaboration between two men bent on burnishing their reformist credentials collapsed after barely a week. The McCain-Obama relationship came undone amid charges and countercharges, all aired publicly two years ago in an exchange of stark and angry letters." -- Washington Post, March 31, 2008Dear Senator Obama,Congratulations on your election. I hope we can work together on campaign-finance reform and other pressing bipartisan issues, my friend.Warmly,John McCainDear Senator McCain,Thanks for your kind note. I look forward to working with you in leading the ...
