March 20, 2011 (SOAPBOX #89) - Cindy welcomes back our outstanding and well-loved soapbox buddy, courageous former US Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, discussing how things would be if she were - President.  (We can dream, can't we?)  Cynthia was the Green Party candidate for President back in 2008 when she ran, along with Rosa Clemente. . . . (They lost.)  Barack Obama "won," if that's what you'd call gaining responsibility for killing so many innocent civilians.  The last time Ms. McKinney was on this show, she was standing in for Cindy Sheehan, guest hosting what proved to be the final Soapbox interview for Howard Zinn, prior to his unanticipated death on January 27, 2010.  Cynthia's classic show from September 27, 2009 featuring Howard is archived below, as well as (here), just in case you wanted to listen to her prove herself the accomplished and most professional guest-host she truly is.  (Worthwhile listening, indeed!)
