Barack has bounced around like a rubber ball on the Iraq war. He plans to meet with General Petraeus after refusing to meet with him one on one in Washington on his campaign trip to the Middle East and Europe, but he has stated he won’t change his position no matter what he hears [...]

The following are the most recent national campaign ads the two presumptive presidential nominees have approved for distribution.
First, John McCain’s ad which began airing this past week:

Now Senator Obama’s ad which will begin airing on Friday:

Now, if you knew absolutely nothing about these two individuals would either of these ads sell you on their capacity [...]

Perhaps not so interesting in the sense that Barack Obama has added former Clinton aide Patti Solis Doyle to his staff but more intriguing as to the position she will assume:
FLINT, Mich.– The Obama campaign announced on Monday that it has chosen Patti Solis Doyle to a key general election post, making her the first [...]

When I read or hear a statement such as this:
“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said. “Because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans.”
it just adds to the list of things which leave me less than inspired about our choices [...]

By now everyone knows Hillary Clinton has suspended her campaign and no link is necessary, although I’ve provided clips of her speech.
By suspending her campaign she can continue to raise money to replenish the Clintons’ private coffers. After all, he didn’t make all those speeches just to throw away the money.
As I see [...]

I must say it, even though it might be unpopular..I felt sorry for Barack Obama last night.
What a shame that his words had to be lost once again in the rhetoric (and plea for money) from one (at least at this writing) candidate.
Having watched all three speeches, I can only summarize this way:
John [...]

You can count on Democratic presidential candidates to haul out Medi-scare or Social Security scare tactics every presidential year.
While speaking to a group of people in an assisted living center (read senior citizens) Obama claimed John McCain would reduce their Social Security payments or cut back on their cost of living raises if elected.
Obama said [...]

While speaking to the Israeli Knesset yesterday President Bush made this remark:
“Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along.
“We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American [...]

After the drubbing Hillary Clinton took last night in North Carolina and the too close for comfort win in Indiana for her, it appears even she recognizes now Obama will be the Democratic nominee for president.
She has cancelled all public appearances for Wednesday after lending her campaign another 6.4 million dollars. The question she [...]

Would you like to work in Chicago’s poor black area for between 23 and 25 years and receive as part of your retirement package a 10,000 sq. ft. four bedroom house in addition to your retirement pay?
Well, if your name is Jeremiah Wright and you pastored the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago you [...]

I have no comment on this video as I think it is clear what Williams is saying:

The buzz today will surely be Barack Obama taking on the former President of the United States.
Sen. Barack Obama says he’s ready to confront former President Bill Clinton, calling his advocacy on behalf of his wife’s presidential campaign, “troubling.”
In an exclusive interview with ABC News’ Robin Roberts to air Monday on “Good Morning America,” [...]

I’ve heard some ridiculous statements in the course of this very loooooong campaign for the Presidency, but this one by Barack Obama has to take the prize:
“The truth is that right after 9/11 I had a pin,” Obama said. “Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we’re talking about the Iraq war, that became a substitute [...]

According to The Telegraph in the UK, a leaked Democratic poll shows the concern some in the Democratic party have over a Hillary Clinton presidential nomination.
A leaked Democratic poll has suggested that Hillary Clinton, the frontrunner in the race for the party’s presidential nomination, could lose the 2008 election because of her “very polarised image”. [...]

I must admit that until reading the following article, I had not had much interest in learning about Facebook. From this article at Politico and the bit of research I did, it appears to be the place to be on the web, primarily for college students.
This particular age group has been chastised in the [...]

From the LAT:
Hsu’s undoing began two weeks ago with articles raising questions about his fundraising activities in the Wall Street Journal and about a criminal case in his past in The Times. In his letter, said a person familiar with its contents who asked to remain anonymous, Hsu contended that those articles were planted “by [...]

When it’s so easy to check campaign contributors, why would anyone say something that isn’t quite true?
Using campaign appearances, e-mails to supporters, and Iowa TV ads, Illinois Senator Barack Obama has repeatedly reminded voters that his presidential campaign does not accept contributions from lobbyists or political action committees, casting his decision as a noble departure [...]

Is this child-like or what?
They work in the same building. They slog through the same rigorous travel schedule. Along the way, they often cross paths several times a day.
But Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama have barely spoken to one another – at least in any meaningful way – for months.
The tension between the [...]

Excuse me, but isn’t the fact President Bush “invaded” Iraq, a great friend of the United States and a fighter of terrorism with a benevolent dictator, the thing all the Democrats and half the Republicans are griping about these days?
Well now. We have Sen. Barack Obama saying he will be prepared to order U.S. [...]

I’ll let the op-ed speak for itself:
Stop me if you’ve read this column before.
In 1999, I wrote a dreamy tribute to then presidential candidate Bill Bradley and commented: “I don’t believe that I will ever live in a country that elects Bill Bradley president. I’d like to live in that country, though.”
In 2002, 27 [...]

With everyone chuckling about President Bush almost saying the Queen was here in 1776, but caught himself first and a lot of his other “Bushisms”, I wonder what the reaction will be when people read that Sen. Barack Obama told a crowd on Tuesday about the devastating tornado that hit Greensburg, Kansas, and said [...]

Some quotes from the Chicago Sun-Times:
COLUMBIA, S.C. — White House hopeful Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), known for his soaring rhetoric, stumbled during the first Democratic debate Thursday at South Carolina State University.
“Last night I was a little nervous,” Obama said at a rally in Charleston on Friday, where he filled the gym at Burke [...]

Barack Obama spoke to a crowd in Milwaukee on Monday and seemed to wander all over the place while discussing violence.
“There’s also another kind of violence that we’re going to have to think about. It’s not necessarily the physical violence, but the violence that we perpetrate on each other in other ways,” he said, [...]

Check the photo on this Drudge piece.
It’s being called the equivalent of a paparazzi gotcha:
A snapshot of Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) and his chief political/media adviser David Axelrod — taken in the Senator’s Capitol Hill office!
ROLL CALL reports: Congressional ethics rules forbid the use of federal office space for political and campaign [...]

What is it about the Democrat presidential candidates that they fear having a debate partially sponsored by Fox News?
A debate sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus and Fox News for September has been nixed by Senator Barack Obama. Since he’s the only member of the CBC who is running, it gives an excuse [...]

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, once considered to be a shoe-in for the presidential nomination of the Democrat party, seems to be support in the critical states of Iowa and New Hampshire, according to recent polls.
She still leads in New Hampshire,but her support seems to be dwindling, and it appears she has lost the lead [...]
