Tuesday's Daily Brief: The Secret Weapon For 2012 Race?

Tuesday, July 17, 2012 Arianna Huffington: Is Storytelling the Secret Weapon of the 2012 Race? Arianna Huffington: President Obama's interview with Charlie Rose got interesting when the conversation turned to what the president considers the biggest mistake of his first term. It was, he said, "thinking that this job was just about getting the policy right." So what else is needed? "The nature of this office is also to tell a story to the American people that gives them a sense of unity and purpose and optimism, especially during tough times." But while the president has accurately diagnosed the ailment, he hasn't delivered on his own prescription. Where is the narrative that will give us that sense of unity and purpose and optimism? His campaign has given us all a crash course on the ills of Bain, but hasn't given us an alternative narrative of the kind of capitalism that should define the nation as we emerge from the financial crisis -- if, in fact, we ever do.

Al Franken: Putting an End to Secret Campaign Contributions The DISCLOSE Act doesn't limit how much money individuals or corporations can spend on independent expenditures. All it does is require that this spending be disclosed publicly. Anna Deavere Smith: Grace, Love, Courage: On Art, Artists and Patronage Art is thought to be inspirational. I think of it as aspirational. It sings what cannot be said. Priscilla Dewey Houghton understood in her veins that art comes from the people and must always be given back to the people. Dean Baker: California Gold Rush? Righting Underwater Mortgages Ever since the housing bubble collapsed, the Federal government has refused to take major initiatives to help underwater homeowners. As a result, we are likely to see close to one million foreclosures both this year and next, with the numbers only gradually slipping back to normal levels by the end of the decade.
