On the heels of Michelle Obama being equated to a great Bodhisattva on Huffpo, The President’s weekly address uses the language of Interdependence more than any speech I’ve ever heard by any US President. Check it Out in the video below:


Meanwhile, on the other side of subjective reality, some progressives are attacking Obama for…well…being just like Dubya. Tops on the list of complaints are A) Obama’s use of Wall Street insiders to craft economic recovery policies (Paul Krugman and others), B) His escalation of the war in Afghanistan (Amy Goodman and others) and C) His (still not clear) views on wiretapping (Keith Olbermann and others).
Check out Keith Olbermann laying into Obama below on warrantless wiretapping:

So which is it: Great Bodhisattva or Dubya II? Or is it all just in the eye of the beholder?
