Senator Russ Feingold's appearance on the Tavis Smiley show is interpreted as a signal that the U.S. is preparing for a withdrawal from Afghanistan before the next presidential election. The news that Eric Prince is putting Blackwater up for sale further supports the theory that the "economic hitman" phase of the conflict is concluding. The war is described as a drain on American resources that has reached its logical end for commercial interests.

President Obama's weekly address criticized the Supreme Court's ruling on campaign finance, claiming it opens the floodgates for special interests. The hosts remain skeptical, suggesting the ruling may actually benefit the Democratic party's fundraising efforts in the upcoming election cycle.
