Andrea Mitchell interviews General Petraeus.
The General wastes no time in making his positions crystal clear..now only if the media would listen.

While the Democrats attempt to jockey for position to take credit for us “winning” in Iraq, (we all know it had to be that pressure they put on the President), their steady drumbeat [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Paul Aldrich reminds us why we should elect Hillary Clinton as our next President of the United States.
In this otherwise tedious election season, it is nice to have a good laugh.
Enjoy!

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 [...]

While being cautious in their headline by using the word “possible,” the NYT offers a sensible assessment of the current state of not just the race for the nomination but that of the party of a whole on the Democrat side of the aisle:
Certainly, no one is expecting a couple with such political skills, an [...]

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 [...]

If you are a Hillary Clinton supporter, then the news of a ten point win in the the Pennsylvania primary should be most welcome. As for the outcome, I do not think it was ever in question, it was just a matter of the margin.
This was the first primary in which I did not [...]

Let the spin begin. (I guess the scrutiny became a bit too hot.)
Sorry Mrs. Clinton. Not buying.
This is operating under the duress of sniper fire:

This is not:

And what irks me is that the Clinton campaign would believe voters were naive enough not to know the difference.
No Senator, there are some [...]

Captain Ed provides a round-up of a few of the issues which have arisen out of the release of Hillary Clinton’s records while First Lady:
The news media have begun digging into the newly-released schedules for Hillary Clinton during her husband’s administration, and they have already found some interesting holes and juxtapositions in her timelines. For [...]

Being hit in the butt with a few pieces of raw rice does not compare to being in captivity in a cage for 5 1/2 years. Yes, I’m comparing John Kerry to John McCain because the old dog Gloria Steinhem from the ERA days has brought up the service of John McCain.
Steinem raised McCain’s [...]

That’s not my question in the header of this post, but it seems to be on the minds of others.
First from Maureen Dowd:
After saying she found her “voice” in New Hampshire, she has turned into Sybil. We’ve had Experienced Hillary, Soft Hillary, Hard Hillary, Misty Hillary, Sarcastic Hillary, Joined-at-the-Hip-to-Bill Hillary, Her-Own-Person-Who-Just-Happens-to-Be-Married-to-a-Former-President Hillary, It’s-My-Turn Hillary, Cuddly [...]

Maybe Hillary will pull out the Democratic nomination..I never count out a Clinton. It hasn’t looked good for her campaign recently. If it were me, I don’t know that I would have replaced one campaign manager with another that brings along memories of the past and the baggage both the Senator and former President carry:
Doyle [...]

You have to hand it to the Clinton’s.
When all the pollsters, pundits and many blogs had written the Senator off, they once again defy all.
While I am no fan of the former First Lady, I must give credit where credit is due. Obviously, they (or she) depending on how you view this [...]

Usually I am a pretty compassionate person. At least that is the way I have always attempted to live life.
Maybe I am just to cynical where the Clinton’s are concerned but I have a very difficult time finding the following to be believeable:
Then Clinton began getting emotional: “It’s not easy, and I couldn’t do [...]

This is so breathtakingly ridiculous that I must quote the majority of the article for those who may not link over to read the whole thing otherwise:
Bill Clinton voiced his abiding anger at the media’s coverage of him and his wife in Durham, N.H., today, and suggested that media bias will force Clinton to go [...]

A year after she announced officially she was running for president Hillary Clinton’s face is showing the strain of travel, lack of rest and just the rigors of such a long race.

Maybe she’s just had a hard day in the cold of Iowa and New Hampshire, but look at how this campaign has affected her. [...]

Bill Clinton is the most shameless politician who is the least embarrassed at looking us square in the face and contradicting what is known on record to be his previous position on an issue.
He now claims he was always against the Iraq war. Always, since when?

Former president Bill Clinton said on Tuesday that he [...]

Sometimes you read a line or a paragraph which you just want to share:
Quick, besides marrying a future president, what is it that Hillary has accomplished that hasn’t been accomplished by any number of women over two decades? In some ways, she has accomplished much less than many.
Yep!

Hillary Clinton is touting her “experience” in the White House as reason to elect her or vote for her in the primaries.
KNOXVILLE, Iowa — The economy needs help and fast, Hillary Rodham Clinton declared Monday, claiming the experience for the job and saying the nation can’t afford to break in a newcomer.
In speech that [...]

The following quote is taken from a long piece in The New Republic, a left-leaning publication.
On June 1, The New York Times published a front-page article titled, ONE PLACE WHERE OBAMA GOES ELBOW TO ELBOW. The feature detailed Barack Obama’s love for pickup basketball, his jersey-tugging style, even the time he hit a long game-winning [...]

Ed Morrissey, whom I believe every blog I read has linked or quoted from time to time, was invited to do a segment on CNN in regards to the Clinton campaign’s planted questions.

Well done Captain.
UPDATE: For a related story from CNN go here. It doesn’t look like this student is backing down at [...]

For me, this was the post of the day. It comes from Uncle Jimbo at Blackfive.
US Flags celebrate Veteran’s Day, Attack Hillary
I would just like to salute those brave colors who did what just about every veteran who has ever seen Hillary wants to do. Since they were apparently inanimate objects, the Secret [...]

Reading this story in which Hillary Clinton claims to have no knowledge of her campaign planting questions in her audiences reminds me of Sgt. Schultz in the old “Hogan’s Heroes” series.
When caught knowing something he wasn’t supposed to know his answer was always, “I know nuthink!”
Well, Hillary claims she knows nothink too in this mini-scandal.
SIOUX [...]

Updated and Bumped
Hillary Clinton is, by her husband’s description, “the smartest woman in the world”.
What this article shows is she is one of the most manipulative, power-hungry and stupid politicians around.
SIOUX CITY, Iowa — Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton’s campaign admitted Friday that it planted a global warming question in Newton, Iowa, Tuesday during [...]

For a week now we have been hearing from the Clinton camp that she didn’t really mean things she said in the last debate the way we heard them.
I’ve long since gotten used to the Clintons’ spin machine. This time she’s claiming a gender problem. All those men picking on this little, compassionate [...]

It seems there were more feathers flying during a damage control conference call with the Clinton people than from the NBC peacock Wednesday.
You see, Sen. Clinton didn’t give a good performance at Tuesday’s debate. She had six male candidates and two moderators who ganged up on her and that’s not faaaaaiiiiirrrrrr!
Now the campaign with [...]

The story broke a couple of months ago about former First Lady Hillary Clinton’s records not being released from the National Archives until, at the very earliest, after the 2008 election.
At this evenings Democratic Debate in Philadelphia, Tim Russert questioned Mrs. Clinton about these records and her answer was less than forthcoming so he approached [...]
