Barack Obama

A newly formed conservative political group is spending $2.8 million to air the first tough general election ad attacking Barack Obama, questioning his relationship with a founder of the 1960s terrorist group Weather Underground.

Sens. John McCain, who was raised as an Episcopalian and attends a Baptist church, and Barack Obama, a Christian who had a public falling out with the fiery former pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ , appeared back-to-back on the same stage last night -- a televised platform -- to confront questions about their faith.

What a dream ticket! Obama and Edwards. This ticket will take care of the "working, hard working" "white" voter, that Obama couldn't attract and capture. :=)

This ticket can't be beat. Anyway you cut it Hillary is toast. I hear the lady singing "Ebony and Ivory" or is it Stevie and Paul?

Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony

This in from Real Clear Politics.com:

A footnote: Support is growing in Democratic ranks for Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland as vice president. He would bring to the ticket maturity (66 years old), experience (six terms in Congress) and moderation (rated "A" by the National Rifle Association). He is very popular in Ohio, a state Republicans must carry to elect a president.

Here is a summary of the statement that Hillary made about Obama's minister. What do you think? Is it an issue?

SAN ANTONIO It took many months and the mockery of "Saturday Night Live" to make it happen, but the lumbering beast that is the press corps finally roused itself from its slumber Monday and greeted Barack Obama with a menacing growl.

Hillary Clinton sought to skewer Barack Obama on the eve of critical voting in Ohio and Texas, pointing to a leaked memo purportedly showing that his campaign recently gave a "wink-wink" to the government of Canada that promises he has made to renegotiate trade deals need not be taken seriously.

I found the skit and the response really funny. If you did not watch the SNL skit, please do so here:

The latest mailing from Obama claims Clinton and Big Oil are in bed together (Big Oil with its popularity should offer an IPO).

I was walking past the Blade over last weekend and early this week and I heard a lot of the employees whistling this song. I swear I thought I saw some of the editors dancing very similar to the dancing in the video.

Mailing no longer says "boon" but the message still hits hard. See for yourself. Attached is the mailing.

Barack Obama claims to be a candiadate that crosses the boundaries of race.

There is not a black America and a white America and latino America and asian America - there’s the United States of America.

But. let's take a closer look at his endorser's.
