Robert Reich: Why Obama Should Be Attacking Casino... →
robertreich: I wish President Obama would draw the obvious connection between Bain Capital and JPMorgan Chase. That way his so-called “attack” on private equity is neither a personal attack on Mitt Romney nor a generalized attack on American business. It’s an attack on a particular kind of capitalism that…

DNC: Invest In The Scott Walker Recall Now! →
I never ask for petition sigs, but this one is pretty critical IMHO. The DNC needs to light a fire under it to help out here, and they are sitting on their hands so far.
