  • Inside Goodwin calls interim Senate experience absolute honor / 2A President Barack Obama had a simple message when he called Gov. Joe Manchin to congratulate him on winning the U.S. Senate race. He said, Dont bring the dang gun, Manchin said. The president was referring to the famous campaign ad in which Manchin shoots the cap and trade bill, a key part of the Obama administrations legislative agenda last year. In an interview Wednesday at the Governors Mansion, Manchin, who is expected to be sworn in as senator on Monday, reflected on his six years in office and discussed what happens next for the state, as well as what he plans to do in the Senate. When he goes to Washington apparently without the rifle Manchin will look for compromise and what he calls common sense. Its a simple...

  • More journalists were killed last year than ever before. No doubt the world has become a more dangerous place for journalists, but not necessarily in ways that people might expect. The risks to foreign journalists, especially for (but hardly limited to) Western correspondents, have risen dramatically. There is another trend that is even more disturbing. When it comes to journalists, the killers get away with the murders in nearly nine out of ten cases. In no less than 89% of journalist murders worldwide, there has been little or no prosecution whatsoever. At the same time, combat journalists and other reporters who cover dangerous situations still face great risks. No less than 18% of the journalists killed on the job in all circumstances since 1992 died covering combat or some other fo...

  • So what we have in [Barack Obama] is a man who's fully acquainted with adversity-and there is nothing more impressive than a person who's been dragged through the pits of Hell, as I'm sure that he has, and then come out the other side as a well rounded and highly educated individual. He had to obtain a Ph.D. in problem solving and perseverance on the fly, even before his higher education began. Then when you add the creativity, that is a trademark of the Black community, you're left with a very formidable individual indeed. As I mentioned above, we've already seen many characteristics of the Black community at work during the election, and ironically, they contributed greatly to Obama being elected. One example, is Obama's ability to remain cool under fire. That comes directly from the ...

  • Although the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) received nearly unanimous congressional support, only a few years thereafter its wisdom was increasingly questioned and its supporters had to stave off attempts to recraft the legislation. The financial crisis of 2008 has sidelined efforts to alter the legislation's most costly provision, as Congress's attention has turned to overhauling the regulatory regime for financial institutions. There is, nonetheless, much to be learned about financial regulation and SOX's future, from an in-depth examination of the interplay of the government and private commissions created with an eye to revising the legislation, media coverage of those entities, and congressional responses. That interaction provides a map of political fault lines and assi...
