Must-Read Op-Eds for Sept. 26, 2012

ELIZABETH WARREN, THE PEOPLE'S CHAMPION
KATRINA VANDEN HEUVEL
WASHINGTON POST

Throughout the campaign, Warren has delivered an unabashed populist message. She first made the common sense case that no one succeeds alone; that successful businesspeople depend on what we’ve built together — an educated workforce, roads and transport to deliver their products, a rule of law vital to working markets. This isn’t a radical notion, but when adopted and badly phrased by President Obama, it sparked the frenzied Republican “we built it” campaign. ... Warren will focus on the core issues, and ask Massachusetts’ voters to decide who is on their side. And if she wins...she’ll not only lead a new generation of progressive reformers into the Senate, but also begin to teach Democrats how to fight for working people once more.

PRESIDENT OBAMA AT THE U.N.
EDITORIAL
NEW YORK TIMES

Six weeks before the election, the speech to an audience of world leaders in the United Nations General Assembly hall was as much a domestic political appeal as anything else. President Obama used the commanding venue of the General Assembly to offer a reasonable defense against Mitt Romney’s incoherent critique of his response to the revolutions in Libya, Egypt, Tunisia and Yemen and to Iran’s nuclear program.  There were two fairly big omissions in Mr. Obama’s visit to the General Assembly. He spoke only briefly on areas that need more debate in this campaign — the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Syrian civil war, Afghanistan and Iraq. And while it’s reasonable for Mr. Obama to be in campaign mode, just like Mr. Romney, he is the president. He could have used some of his time in New York to meet privately with world leaders, as presidents usually do. It’s not like he doesn’t have a lot to talk to them about.
