Obama shackled by debt 3:34pm on 05 Nov 2008 We all know that he has a mess of things to overcome...

At this point, could we remind people that the current White House incumbent, who believes that Obama should have a dinherited a rather solid economy???

Thanks.

Case closed.
Last-minute changes 10:59am on 30 Oct 2008 "Shell profit surges 71 percent" that should be, of course.
Last-minute changes 10:28am on 30 Oct 2008 I give you the headline at Reuters:

"profit surges 71 percent"

Thank you George Bush, if McCain wins, we will also be thankful. Especially Governess Palin, whose retirment will be as secure, if not more, as Ted Stevens'.

Oh, there is another GOP special. He took bribes from the oil industry, is guilty as charged, but it's the prosecutors' fault and the liberal media. And so, as a good role model, he is now continuing to run.

Do these people have no scruples whatsoever? They are telling young people:"Hey, greed, corruption, no responsibility, is great, you see, I got rich on it and didn't even have to pay."

That's why I like Obama. He seems to understand self-reflection, and that makes him a genuinely compassionate individual.

If McCain wins, Joe the Plumber will have seen the last of his interest and curiosity. Believe me.
Last-minute changes 10:14am on 30 Oct 2008 Of course, mcCain, with his withering campaign, has once again dug up some non-issue. There is a flaw here that is so glaring, it is unbelievable.

1) Obama said "finding common ground" in the video... quite clearly.

How do McCain and Palin Does expect to achieve any peace if we can only dialog with people who lick our boots? Under McCain we will no longer enter into a meaningful dialogue with people who may have real grievances. After all, the bombs and bullets that have killed Palestinians often have "Made in USA" written on them, and I do not mean this in a figurative sense. (I say this as a person who has lost family to the Nazis so don't come with all that phony pro-Israel trash.)

Peace in the Middle East is desperately needed for the safety of Israel, and the Bush-McCain bombing diplomacy hasn't worked. If Obama intends to dialogue with the Palestinians, well great, he may have a better chance at achieving something than McCain or even Palin, who believes that a war in the Middle East will bring on Armaggedon and then Rapture.. Thanky You Palin, but no thanks, I love my kids too much….

2) It proves what an abominable strategist McCain is. Obama knew the Ayers business and this one would draw the attack dogs. I am sure of it, and McCain and Palin fell right into the trap. Their campaign has done their once a week character assassination trick, and meanwhile, each time, Obama's presence in the polls goes up. Because they are non-issues. This is worthy of SunTzu.

So tell me, rightwingers, how is McCain going to negotiate with real pros in the outside world if he falls into such simple traps?
Latin class 10:59am on 19 Sep 2008 "The chairman of Bernalillo County Republicans argued that the Latino emphasis on hard work and family values, plus the Catholic church's opposition to abortion, made the community naturally conservative."

Silly argument: I was raised a catholic, I am ethically opposed to criminalizing abortions, and I personally am not pro abortion, I am pro-choice. It's a simple argument. But why are those pro-lifers so Bush-friendly? He has killed tens -- perhaps hundreds -- of thousands of Iraqis, he has devastated familes in the USA as well with his oil-mania. Hey, that's a really violent form of abortion... Or did I misunderstand the "surgical strikes".
In God we trust 10:11am on 15 Sep 2008 Krispy Kremes are the new indulgences, apparently.... Someone should remind voters that separation of church and state is important to protect both, and that the USA was not founded to become a bastion of Christianity. Furthermore, these "churches", which are no more than Wal-Marts for religion -- and just as cheap -- are in fact sects and sectarian. They exclude, they are uppity, they believe that they are better than others. And that is lethal, especially for the poor folks in forign countries who get bombed because the American midwest believes firmly that they are inferior and infidels. God's great pecking order, huh?
