11. It's always Medea .. she's a professional activist .. but is she effective?

Has nothing to do with gender, IMO. It's just that Code Pink shows up at every hearing, press conference etc.. Can their protests be recognized by the public as being anything other than a nuisance? Perhaps Medea should let some of her cohorts do some shouting down the President. I rally around her cause, and think these are serious issues to which she is drawing attention. Perhaps Medea likes the attention she gets. How does this woman, who spends her entire time protesting events, make a living? She has to appeal to more than just the feminist left .. if she wants social and political change. Unfortunately, that is what I think Obama's philosophy has been. Trying to make change by appeasing the right wing, as crazy as they are. I don't know if Medea's tactics are working. We need to see more ''grass roots'' men out there challenging this administration.
