Frank Rich on the lobbying industy and its activities which aim at gutting most of the U.S. President's reform proposals.
07/24/2009
Is this a bad omen for the lobbyists or the Obama administration, or both, asks Rich in this NYT piece. Rich comments on a series of Washigton post articles showing the cooperation of lobbyists and senior members of Congress and the Obama administration. The Republicans too have the same pattern. In this context see Brooks article about the coming culture wars that cut across party lines and are based on values.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
