Why did you guys disappear when Obama got elected? We're still in Afgan/Iraq, GITMO is still open, Obama has killed far more people with drones than W did. NSA, etc.... Where are those who were going to stay in front of the White House until all the troops came home and GITMO was closed?

This is honestly the first I have heard of CODEPINK since 08 and I like to think I'm relatively informed. I wondered where you guys went. Honestly I lost a lot of respect for CODEPINK after they went quiet the minute Obama got elected. It showed they were more of a partisan organization than worried about the causes they championed. Am I wrong in my assumptions?

Hey thanks for doing this.

Were you and your colleagues/contemporaries/competition really drinking as much as the show portrays on a daily basis?

If so, how did you guys ever get any of that great iconic work done?

Interesting. Thanks for taking the time to answer. This is great insight that I am sure I could have found had I researched in depth. I just never hear about what you guys are up to any more...

At first you were all over the news. Reading your response and links, it seems more like partisan complacency from the media rather than CODEPINK. You shed a lot of light on things those early years and it seems now the media isn't reporting on your work to help keep Obama in a good light. Is your organization worried at all they are not getting the media attention they enjoyed during the Bush years? Are you finding it harder now to get your message out and get publicity?

Neat! I can just imagine a real Ad Man sitting in on a meeting and listening to a bunch of bush league posers do their phony spiel. And they probably had no idea!

Hopefully, after the meeting you let your client know what a crock the amateurs were.

Seriously tho. Thanks for doing this AMA. Fascinating.
