We've got to work to discredit this website HillaryIs44.org and Taylor Marsh as well. They're going to continue their anti-Obama campaign, even as Senator Clinton has endorsed Senator Obama, and many pro-Obama bloggers like myself have rallied to support Senator Clinton as Vice President. Hillary is 44 and Taylor Marsh need to knock off their rhetoric. Many -- in fact all -- of the posts on those sites are studies in angry, unsubstantiated, anger. Just rambling on and on and accusing Barack... Read Full Story

Our American troops will finally come home when Senator Barack Obama becomes the President of the United States. Why is there yet people who are yet Bush worshippers and will vote for the Republican party until their die, is overwhelmly wierd. It seems like each and every American would get tired of not only this war who has killed thousands of American soldiers, but the loss of jobs, high gas prices and home foreclosures.

Senator Barack Obama's on CNN now this morning, giving a great and stemwinding speech on the meaning of Patriotism from Independence, Missouri, which includes this line: "Mark Twain said that Patriotism was being proud of your country all the time and your government, when it deserves it." My feelings, exactly. I think Republicans and fans of the current war and American aggression at home and abroad forget that. I don't have to support my government's decisions because it's part of America... Read Full Story
Works every time on dress shirts, too! If you saw the morning papers, you probably noticed all the "creases" in the crotch area of Barack Obama's slacks as he stood outside Downing Street chatting up England's Prime Minister. Ah, this means one of two things. Barack was either wearing "linen" slacks which crease at the drop of a hat (plunking down in an easy chair just once will do the trick) or has been sitting on his fanny too much chewing the fat with World Leaders overseas.

According to Talking Points Memo , Senator Barack Obama's ahead of John McCain by 2 points as of this writing, 47 percent to 45 percent. Personally, I think this is too close for comfort and would be happier with a seven point poll spread. Obama still has work to do here. Either Webb or Clinton or Edwards as the VP choice would help. I still think it's going to be Clinton as the pick. Read Full Story
