...Nauert: I feel that many people at Harvard are engaged in some form of social action or political action...very broadly and diversely construed, whether it’s Phillips Brook House, House government, the UC, Dems, or whatever the case may be. What I think I have been surprised at is that with some very, very major exceptions—like the Stand for Security Campaign, the May Day rallies for immigration my freshman year—groups fail to connect on broadly shared interests and form lasting, coalitional outlooks...
...Aguilera: Nobody thinks that the Harvard administration is going to end the war. It has to be a collective source of action all across the nation, a huge mobilization of students, raising our voices, coming together, and doing something on a broader scale.

As for the swing voters (the real target group) Obama will continue to address these issues in the same manner and "set the record straight," so to speak, continuously until April 22nd. This is not the last we will hear of this from Obama - especially...
...lend his support to the march, he would at least refrain from opposing it. Four of the five organizations involved in the movement oppose the Dalai Lama's "middle path" approach of seeking dialogue with the Chinese leadership in search of a "genuine" autonomy for Tibet. They want direct action to seek independence from China, and they want to it now, while the world is watching China as it prepares to host the Olympic Games this summer...
