Barack Obama
Ceiling was gone before Obama
February 2, 2009
It is my wish, Dr. Patterson, that at some point you will realize that American society, warts and all, has provided you with
the opportunities that have landed you where you are today.
MoreColumn was disrespectful of Americans who support marijuana's legalization
February 2, 2009
Marijuana legalization deserves a thoughtful debate, not ridicule from Morton Marcus.
MoreFeeling like a true American, at last
January 26, 2009
Robert PattersonI never felt like a true American. Sure, I believe in freedom, democracy, the rule of law and the precepts put forth in the
Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. These are beautifully crafted, heartfelt words and documents hammered out
and written by men
of truly great intent.
MoreBarack Obama's new new thing
January 19, 2009
Tom HendersonTip O'Neill once said, "All politics is local." I watched my sister and even my bookkeeper—who hadn't voted
in decades—cheer
when Barack Obama rose far above John McCain in November. Clearly, there was a mandate and Obama's oratory and messages
seemed to inspire voters across the country.
MoreNew leadership brings hope and challenges
January 19, 2009
Mike HicksGrowing up in the Washington, D.C., area, I always recognized the importance of Inauguration Day. Schools were canceled, and
it was my
younger brother's birthday. A new presidency was always a celebration.
MoreObama's call ignites local health care debates
January 5, 2009
J.K. WallWhen President-elect Barack Obama called for community discussions of health care reform, about 250 people in Indianapolis
answered. Their answer rang loud with individual complaints, a surprising number of calls for national health insurance and
some doubt that their comments would actually shape Obama's policymaking.
MoreDaniels, Obama cruise to victory
December 29, 2008
Peter SchnitzlerThe last time Indiana went for the Democrat in a presidential election, Lyndon Johnson trounced conservative Barry Goldwater
at the 1964 polls. More than 40 years later, Sen. Barack Obama earned his historic White House victory thanks, in part, to
Hoosiers' 11 electoral votes.
MoreHetrick column appreciated for its thought-provoking candor
December 8, 2008
I find your writing to be thought-provoking, and I especially liked your [Nov. 24] piece.
MoreLet's limit campaigns to public funds
November 24, 2008
The only way more ideas, more candidates, more party platforms can gain
any traction, any consideration by the public at large, would be for all political parties to receive, and run only on public
funds.
MoreNew president is a sign of hope
November 24, 2008
The election for me was like looking up for a change instead of having a spiral-down feeling, which was good.

MoreElection of president, governor signals Hoosiers desire changes
November 10, 2008
Indiana's blue vote for president-elect Barack Obama on Election Day was a sign that Hoosiers are ready for change. So was
the state's red vote to keep incumbent Gov. Mitch Daniels in office. In this case, the status quo means more change. Daniels
has been making gutsy and sometimes unpopular moves since taking office four years ago. He ran on a promise to keep shaking
things up.
MoreIce Miller's Lacy says Obama's election will help businesses be more unified
November 10, 2008

the election represents an opportunity for businesses to move beyond labels.

dramatic changes, shows that Americans can become successful again.
MoreCould Lugar be tapped for Obama's cabinet?
November 3, 2008
Peter SchnitzlerDemocratic Sen. Barack Obama has repeatedly described Republican Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana as a mentor on foreign policy
issues and may offer him a place in his administration.
MoreVote only if you've studied the issues carefully
November 3, 2008
Mike HicksIf you haven't learned about the crucial issues that our country and state face, don't vote.
MoreObama raising more money in Indiana, but business interests stick with McCain
October 27, 2008
J.K. WallRepublican Sen. John McCain has been unable to achieve the same Indiana fund-raising edge on his Democratic opponent that President George W. Bush did in past elections. Bush rang up an Indiana fund-raising advantage of $1.7 million over Sen. John Kerry in 2004, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. And his popularity in Indiana allowed him to spend those dollars to help him campaign in other states while easily winning Indiana's electoral votes. But this election, Sen. Barack Obama had outraised Republican John McCain by $360,000 through the end of August, when McCain's decision to take public campaign funds forced him to stop raising funds directly for himself. Obama did not take public funds, and so has continued to raise money.
Leaders disagree about Clinton, Obama preference
May 5, 2008
J.K. WallThe topic of health care sparked the most spirited comments from business leaders interviewed by IBJ ahead of the May 6 presidential
primary. When asked whether they thought Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton would be better for business, executives in manufacturing,
exporting, computer technology, logistics and education largely demurred.
MorePumped-up business leaders give big sums to Clinton, Obama
April 28, 2008
J.K. WallIndiana's business community is divided in its support during this presidential election. Many Republicans are disenchanted,
which has contributed to slow contributions to their candidate, Arizona Sen. John McCain. But those looking to support Democrats
are torn this year, as the fierce competition between Clinton and Obama has made Indiana's normally sleepy May primary a battleground.

Irvington is up and coming much like Fountain Square. We would love to have something like this in our neighborhood!
Why do we care who has submitted proposals if we can't review the proposals? It's publicly owned land, but the public has zero say in what gets chosen to be built there. Yep, that sounds about right.
Perhaps May 21 is "Evangelical Day" over at the IBJ?
I don't know what's more depressing: that this passes for a defensible elective in a publicly funded SCIENCE class, or that more than half of the posters here are defending this charlatan. Intelligent design is creationism. Creationism is religion. Yes, we have freedom of religion, which deserves to be protected. Now someone kindly show Professor Hedin his freedom by escorting him over to the Religion department at BSU. Carry on.
I hope people realize that the 'vocal' opposition at the meeting represent the minority of people against this project. As with any controversial project - those who don't want it are the loudest, while those who like it or really don't care one way or the other don't come to such meetings. Unfortunately the same may be true of the survey now being offered by the BRVA. I live less than a 5 minute walk from BR Avenue and can tell you that I and most of my neighbors are support this exciting project, or are ambivalent. And how great that it includes quality apartments - something that BR sorely lacks. This is a first class opportunity that we should embrace (and no, I'm not with the BRVA or the developer.) As for the fellow who owns the Good Earth store, if he doesn't want competition then let him pull together his own investors and out bid Whole Foods to operate the proposed grocery component! Come on folks - let's move ahead.
