I just saw this on our local cable access channel, but it's about a week old.

Here's the editorial group discussion.

Way cool, IMHO. We gripe about wanting small groups: here you go, for an hour.

This is fantastic. (4.00 / 1)

I wish we could embed it somehow.

And in the section on "Why run for the presidency now", Dodd confirms, in part, my pet theory: that becoming a father literally on the heels of 9/11 transformed his sense of urgency about fixing the mess we are in for the next generation.

Haven't had time to watch it. (0.00 / 0)

Wonder if the question of Cuba came up. Seems Obama has an op-ed in a Florida paper today. I thought Dodd gave a good and comprehensive answer on Cuba in the Eldridge, Iowa Q&A.

Well, nothing on Cuba. (0.00 / 0)

It's got the most detailed explanation of the universal health care proposal. The only thing missing is how the VA and workmen's comp can be folded in. I'd argue that the latter would be a real relief for small business.

Dodd on Cuba (0.00 / 0)

For more on Dodd's Cuba position, check out this post.

Dodd's position was praised by Steve Clemons as an "adult foreign policy":

I view this statement as the kind of truth-telling and honest candor that aspirants to the White House should exhibit in all of their foreign policy and national security commentary. I could not agree more with Senator Dodd's views.

Before 1959 (0.00 / 0)

Cuba was the 5th largest trading partner of the United States. If you want to know who the embargo hurts, it's not so much Cuba, which has normal relations with Canada and Europe, but the American businessmen who have been prohibited from exporting American goods to Cuba.

funny (0.00 / 0)

Guy McMillin is a great interviewer, but what comes through here is the same thing that comes through on the smaller gatherings, with less adept questioners -- Dodd has depth. He's not going to be at the mercy of his advisers. Given what happened with Bush, that''s important to me.

Slightly O/T: Obama off-the-cuff (4.00 / 1)

Did you hear Obama at the house party in, I think, Exeter? He was asked who his models on foreign policy are.

He thought for a moment then said (not verbatim):

The group of advisers right after World War II: Acheson, Kennan, George Marshall. They understood the need to rebuild Europe and Japan, and managed to convince an America that had just gone through the Great Depression and lost hundreds of thousands of men fighting some of those nations to pay for that effort.

I thought it was a remarkably strong and well-considered off-the-cuff answer.

Sounds like a Uniter (0.00 / 0)

Funny how our enemies become our allies. Actually, that ain't funny at all.

What is scary is that many americans don't recognize this pattern.

SGS is Jack Mitchell of Lowell, MA. The symbolism of the "sleeping giant" is based on my HOPE for America.
