Senator Obama has explained his decision to cancel a scheduled visit there by blaming the military, which would not allow one of his political advisers to join him [...]

And I quote: Take out your notepads folks, cause this one names names…
And if you want some more names, you have to look no further than Obama’s Hopefund Inc. political action committee, which “contributed” thousands of dollars to dozens of prospective Obama superdelegates in 2006 and 2007. This does not take [...]

From the WaPo:
In his closed door meeting with House Democrats Tuesday night, presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama delivered a real zinger, according to a witness, suggesting that he was beginning to believe his own hype.
Obama was waxing lyrical about last week’s trip to Europe, when he concluded, according to the meeting attendee, “this is the [...]

This is Moveon.org’s new campaign ad for Obama. I have never ever seen a more vacuous or inane advertizement for a political campaign ever. There is ZERO substance to it. It says absolutely NOTHING.
God damn it, this makes me friggin crazy. There is no substance to this man or his campaign.
You might as well say “Vote [...]

And Republicans were too stupid to figure out that Steven Colbert was parody and had him speak at the White House Correspondents Dinner… ohhh, the memories….

This is a bit older, but I just came across it and absolutely love the poem. I thought others that supported Hillary and appreciated her historic campaign might appreciate it as well.
I AM ONE…
I am one,
I am one of 18 million,
I am one with them in history,
I am one with them in her story,
I am [...]

Not Your Sweetie has been coming out with heavy hitters recently, so it looks like I will defer to her again today.
Turns out that while Obama was in Afghanistan, Blackwater provided him with security. He was quoted as saying that Blackwater gets a bad rap. He has also stated that he cannot guarantee that he [...]

Ok, this is one of the most tasteless things I have ever heard of, and it is an affront to Judaism.
During his visit to Israel, Barack Obama visited the Western Wall, aka Wailing Wall, which is the most sacred site in all of Judaism.
The first affront was plastering the area around the Western Wall with [...]

Something Wild And Unruly comes out swinging today with this post about the bill that was up for a vote today… and apparently Obama, even though he was in DC, was the only Democrat that wasn’t there to vote for it. (well, except Kennedy, but you will have to excuse him… he has brain cancer.)

PUMApac has a log of emails from Super Delegates that were sent in response to the concerns of Democrats that contacted them.
It is pretty scary that a political party expecting votes would treat it’s voters like this. And they wonder why we don’t wanna vote for them?

In a very intresting development, the latest USA Today/Gallup poll has McCain up by 4 when including “Likely Voters.”
I am not putting TOOOOO much stock in this just yet, but it is just one more poll that shows the race between the two candidates tightening… and that is not supposed to be happening LOL.
USA TODAY

From THE CHICAGO SUN TIMES
“The Presidential hopeful stopped in to the University of Chicago Medical Center, Duchossois Center for Advanced Medicine at 8 p.m. to see an orthopedic doctor about a sore hip.
A spokesman for the senator says too much time on the basketball court is to blame for the aches and pains. “
Way to go Barry.

Doesn’t anyone in the media find it odd that Obama raised in a year what it took Clinton several years to build?
Doesn’t anyone in the media find it odd that the party elders like Kerry and Kennedy would back an unknown newbie, even though their constituency was clearly held the opposite view?
Doesn’t anyone in the media [...]

The official paper of the Chinese Government seems to revere Hillary Clinton as a hero.
I find it as no surprise that China holds her in such high regard. Beijing was the location of one of the most important speeches ever given on women’s and human rights… and was given by none other than Hillary Clinton.

Basically, a couple living in Houston have a bumper sticker on their car depicting a little kid urinating on the name Obama. These stickers are common place here in Texas, though they usually involve the rivalry between Ford and Chevy pickup trucks.
Apparently, while the couple had their car in the driveway and were about to [...]
