Obama’s Gamble
Attempting to clean up the aftermath of Jeremy Wright…
Barack Obama is going to be appearing at a television screen near you. Mr. “avoid the news media” is scheduled to be on a variety of shows in the coming days, presumably in an attempt to clean up the image damage left in the wake of what I will call “Jeremy Wright’s racism perpetuation campaign”. Oh, yeah… I should say “talk shows”, not hard news shows… Those people ask hard questions.
It seems as though Obama has a few new problems as well. One is this new revelation of a super delegate who supports Obama, who sounds as racist in his rants as Wright did; and another is the comment he made about his grandmother today.
The real problem for Obama is that he has nothing to “turn the page” to. The news cycle is not providing adequate cover for him (meaning, there are no powerful political issues for him to latch onto), so he is

Obama Intends to Enlighten Us
Barack Obama has made it clear that he intends to give a speech on Wednesday, in which he will probably try his damndest to distance himself from Pastor Wright. Expect to hear the word “former” a lot in this speech.
Obama won’t answer questions about the Pastor at this point. Even after his speech, he does not intend to answer questions. I don’t find this transparent; I don’t find this mature or manly; and I don’t find this avoidance of taking questions to be very courageous. Obama knows that answering questions keeps it alive, and he just wants to kill this as soon as possible. But avoiding answering questions will hurt him, this time.
Obama said “I think
The utterly BRILLIANT left wing ideologue scientist, Nobel winner, internet creator, and "Champion of the chad recount", Al Gore has once again wowed us with some more amazing feats of observation.
Gore says the most recent Myanmar tragedy, Cyclone Nargis, which claimed 200,000 lives, was the result of Global Warming.
Nice job, Nostradamus.
This has brought on a chorus of rejection from scientists worldwide that claim that NO storm could be directly attributed to either the global warming phenom OR the science... neither of which could support Gore's claims.
And this is supposed to be one of the left's "best". God help us. He could have been PRESIDENT.
The passing of Tim Russert brings to mind, for me, the importance of excellent journalism. Russert was one of the finest. While loving life, he would still grill your butt on anything that was the buzz... no free passes, and he understood that journalism was the 4th branch of the US democratic process.
Our US political process and the field of Journalism will sorely miss Tim Russert.
Paul Begala, bomb throwing liberal pundit and talk show man, recently made clear what the left truly thinks. And remember, the "left" is supposed to be the party that blacks should love and vote for.
Said Begala "We cannot win with egg heads and African-Americans. OK, that is the Dukakis Coalition, which carried ten states and gave us four years of the first George Bush."
I totally agree by the way. You cannot win with only black Americans. You CAN win with only eggheads, though...
This insinuation that African American support of Obama is the reason for Obama having ANY chance is correct. I think what Begala is saying is the same thing Clinton is saying, in a more veiled way.
And I think what Begala is trying to say is "Obama is propped up by an African American vote- and that is IT. He cannot win without it."
I agree... but I think it is a stupid to take that approach, or point out such a point of view, especially if you are a person from the party that claims (falsely) to represent the black community BEST.
