All of this demonstrates that a national dialogue on race is painful, awkward and essential. And that dialogue needs to focus not on clips from old sermons by Mr. Wright but on far more urgent challenges — for example, that about half of black males do not graduate from high school with their class.

Then maybe we can achieve our goal of getting, finally, to the point where there is “not a black America and not a white America... . There’s the United States of America.”

What I Did During My Husband’s Administration
By Tobin Harshaw

Tags: Hillary Clinton, white house schedules

Hillary Clinton has released her schedules from her White House years and The Guardian of London feels they’re more notable for what’s missing than for what’s there:
In her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, Hillary Clinton has touted her experience in the Clinton White House as preparation to lead the nation in a time of crisis. “Ready on day one” has been her slogan.
But an initial reading of some of the more than 11,000 pages of Clinton’s schedules from her days as first lady, released today by the National Archives and the William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Library, shows that she was often far from the site of decision-making during some of the most pivotal events of Bill Clinton’s presidency.
ABC News seems to think this is vital information — “Hillary Clinton spent the night in the White House on the day her husband had oral sex with Monica Lewinsky, and may have actually been in the White House when it happened” — which leads Jason Zengerle at the Plank to exclaim, “You know, I don’t blame Hillary for wanting to keep this stuff under lock and key if this is what investigative reporters are going to use it for.”
Meanwhile, Elizabeth Holmes of The Wall Street Journal thinks July 20, 1993, the day White House lawyer Vince Foster was found dead, is the key one.
“Foster’s death was ruled a suicide, but many conspiracy theories persist suggesting he was murdered,” Holmes informs us. “Clinton spent several hours conducting media interviews. She had a live appearance on the “Michael Jackson Show” (with the following rule: ‘Note: NO Call-in questions’), talked with the WAVE newspaper and later flew from Los Angeles to Little Rock, Ark. That day, a Tuesday, Foster was reportedly found dead at a park in around 6 p.m. local time. According to her schedule, Clinton would have been in the air at that time (she wasn’t schedule to land in Arkansas for another two and a half hours).”
Thanks, and be sure to let us know if the records place her anywhere near a grassy knoll on Nov. 22, 1963, O.K.?
