Ther're Back: Ayers,Wright, and Rezko The House needs to step up to the plate. Where are the leaders? Time out? It's about time Here we go again Selective memories You can put lipstick on a pig,but it's still a pig Why I think Barack Obama will win in November No longer McCain's party October 07 November 07 December 07 January 08 February 08 March 08 April 08 May 08 June 08 July 08 August 08 September 08 October 08 John Edwards & Barack Obama went straight for the jugular in going after Hillary. They attacked the vote on calling the Iranian Revolutionary Council a terrorist organization. Saying it will give this president the excuse he needs to go to war with Iran. Hillary’s inconsistent answers were exposed on social security and at the end of the debate she agreed with New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's controversial plan to give driver's licenses to illegal immigrants but then a minute later started backtracking. Now Bill Clinton was a master at being evasive but her facial expressions and demeanor showed she is no Bill Clinton. Will this debate change the numbers? I don’t know. I think what was really exposed last night was status quo positions of the front runner. How can my party complain about the secrecy in the Bush Administration if Hillary does not turn over all her documents? I understand it gives the other candidates an unfair advantage, because she will be the only candidate required to do this. But if this lack of transparency is going to stop, someone has to take the lead. The other is lobbyist money; Hillary has out raised all the candidates of both parties in lobbyist money from Wall Street, defense department, and insurance and drug companies. Some might see it as success but really it business as usual. Somehow we must have a leader to take us to public financing because these lobbyist have too much influence. I am getting suspicious as to why the Bush Administration is getting their way on the latest NSA spying bill. Did the telecommunication lobbyist have something to do with it? I don’t know. This may sound like a slam on Hillary but it really isn’t, it just exposes some of her weakness in a primary. Great leaders learn form mistakes and they don’t usually repeat them. Constructive criticism will only make a person stronger.

Obama's 12000 mile journey: Fact-finding or photo op ?
Yesterday, John McCain's communication director told MSNBC that Obama’s trip was just a a campaign rally. I guess that's what the GOP contenders thought when John McCain made a trip to Iraq during the campaign. Fact-finding or photo op; this trip will be huge, and with all three network anchors reporting and interviewing Barack Obama at each stop. John McCain should have saved his Colombian trip, because no one will hear from him at home, during this time. The pundits have already set up all different kinds of scenarios like the tug-of-war between the Palestinian leader and the Jewish leaders for Barack Obama’s attention. They hinted that the German chancellor Angela Markel and France's President Nicholas Sarkozy would not be friendly to Obama, because of their alliance with Bush. Are you kidding me? They're still politicians. Pat Buchanan said Petraeus might take advantage of the situation, and hold a news conference, letting all know that a 16 month withdrawal would lose all our gains from the surge. He may be a general, but I don't think he’s that bold. It's not like he deviated from the administration talking points when he testified before Congress. Quite naturally, the McCain camp will not like all the attention Obama will be getting. Especially, if he draws large, approving, cheering crowds in Europe. An enthusiastic military reception for Obama will not be to McCain’s liking. I will tune in, because I will be anxious to see how Barack Obama performs on the world stage. I hope he gives an evenhanded speech embracing them as an ally, but reminding them how our country stepped up for them in their time of need. He must emphasize the need of the countries support in Afghanistan. 0 comments from 0 users
