“Berlin’s city center took on the atmosphere of a rock concert as more than 200,000 people jammed the German capital’s Tiergarten park to hear U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama,” reports Bloomberg. “Spectators chanted ‘yes we can,’ Obama’s catchphrase, as the 46-year-old senator stressed the shared ‘burdens of global citizenship’ that bind the U.S. and Europe. Beer and sausage vendors lining the park provided refreshments.” I now understand a little more clearly how Germans were suckered by Hitler, said to also have had a knack for oration. Problem is Obama is not running for office in Germany, although one particularly deluded ...

Persuading a libertarian that a negotiation between one worker and a huge corporation is not a simple free market transaction. Persuading a libertarian that the Lord gave us the earth for our use, not for our maximum exploitation. Persuading a Republican that tariffs were NOT responsible for America’s past prosperity. (Tariff “protection” did not create wealth. It only diverted the wealth toward certain interests. The more things change . . . . The same Big Business interests that once got rich from what they falsely called tariff “protection” are now getting rich from what they falsely call “free trade.”) Persuading a Liberal that it is important and ...

And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness. The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family, offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a little blow. When he was twelve years old, they found him in the temple in the City of Chicago, arguing the finer points of community organisation with the Prophet ...

Putting Money Where Mouths Are: Media Donations Favor Dems 100-1 By WILLIAM TATE | Posted Wednesday, July 23, 2008 4:20 PM PT The New York Times' refusal to publish John McCain's rebuttal to Barack Obama's Iraq op-ed may be the most glaring example of liberal media bias this journalist has ever seen. But true proof of widespread media bias requires one to follow an old journalism maxim: Follow the money. Even the Associated Press — no bastion of conservatism — has considered, at least superficially, the media's favoritism for Barack Obama. It's time to revisit media bias. True to form, journalists are defending their bias by saying that one candidate, ...

BERLIN (AP) - Sen. Barack Obama scrapped plans to visit wounded members of the armed forces in Germany as part of his overseas trip, a decision his spokesman said was made because the Democratic presidential candidate thought it would be inappropriate on a campaign-funded journey. The spokesman, Robert Gibbs, said Thursday that Obama made his decision out of respect for the servicemen and women, but Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign immediately criticized the move. "Barack Obama is wrong. It is never inappropriate to visit our men and women in the military," said Brian Rogers, a spokesman for the Republican contender. Obama's decision raised a number of questions ...

A bit dated, but I finally uploaded this clip to youtube. 3 minutes. Mcclintock will most likely enter US Congress this january after he wins the empty seat in northern CA. [Some examples of McClintock's ideology: The CA legislature recently outlawed the 'photoblocker' spray which blocks license plates from being photographed by red light cameras. McClintock was the only one to have voted against that bill. In 2003, McClintock tried to get a constitutional ammendment passed that would have forever abolished the car registration fee, because , he argued, people should not have to pay a tax on something they already own and use as a necessity of life. The people of CA rejected ...

Addressing tens of thousands of elated Europeans massed in Berlin at twilight, presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama promised Thursday that he would work to unite Christians, Muslims and Jews in a safer, more united world.
His 27-minute speech at the gold-topped Victory Column was interrupted by applause at least 30 times, with occasional audience chants of “O-ba-MA!”
Billed as a speech about Transatlantic relations, it turned out to be a manifesto for the planet, with an appeal to “the burdens of global citizenship.”
Reaching out to skeptics back home, he heralded “the dream of freedom” and declared firmly: “I love America.”
“People of Berlin, people of ...

BERLIN (AP) - Before an enormous crowd, Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama on Thursday summoned Europeans and Americans together to "defeat terror and dry up the well of extremism that supports it" as surely as they conquered communism a generation ago. "The walls between old allies on either side of the Atlantic cannot stand," Obama said, speaking not far from where the Berlin Wall once divided the city. "The walls between the countries with the most and those with the least cannot stand. The walls between races and tribes, natives and immigrants, Christian and Muslim and Jew cannot stand," he said. Obama said he was speaking as a citizen, not as ...

Jul 24 - US Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama made a pre-dawn visit to Jerusalem's Western Wall on Thursday (July 24). Obama placed a prayer he had written in the wall and bowed his head while a rabbi read a psalm calling for peace in the holy city. The visit was not without controversy as at least one worshipper chanted "Obama, Jerusalem is not for sale" and "Jerusalem is our land". Obama is due to fly to Germany later on Thursday where he will give the only public speech of his week-long foreign tour at the Victory Column in Berlin's central Tiergarten park. The outdoor address on trans-Atlantic ties is likely to draw tens of thousands. Click ...

"It is a potentially bad thing," he said to laughs. "We are sort of on the high wire. I was like, 'I'm sorry, how many does this ...

Bush has done to the fabric of our constitutional government, to separation of powers, to a government of limited powers is absolutely unforgivable.” The Libertarian Party candidate thinks the GOP, which he once served with gusto, has run off the rails. Some Republicans worry their quirky former colleague will spoil McCain’s chances.

SDEROT, Israel (Reuters) - U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said on Wednesday a nuclear Iran would pose a "grave threat" and that the world must stop Tehran from obtaining an atomic weapon. Obama told reporters during a visit to Israel that if elected, he would take "no options off the table" in dealing with the Iran issue and said tougher sanctions could be imposed.

From a "W" to an "O" Candidate's trademark 'O' replaces stars and stripes As part of a month-long aircraft makeover, a painted American flag was removed from the tail of Sen. Barack Obama's official campaign airplane and was replaced with the presidential candidate's trademark "O" symbol. The refurbished 757 was unveiled to members of the news media today, 41 of whom boarded the craft and took off to meet Obama in Amman, Jordan, where the presidential candidate will stop as part of a Middle Eastern and European tour.

I haven’t checked to see if their sales are up, but the makers of Dramamine should be experiencing record profits this campaign season. Why, you ask? Simple—the word “change” has been thrown around so much in recent months that it undoubtedly is causing many to buy massive quantities of the anti-nausea medicine… Indeed, the word “change” has moved well beyond being a simple, hackneyed slogan and has now become the mantra of the day. One could even say that “change” has achieved a religious stature, with its adherents solemnly pronouncing the word, eyes glazing over as they achieve their version of nirvana. Their “savior”, one Barack ...

Democrats' single most important domestic proposal — universal health insurance — may blow up in Barack Obama's face when voters are exposed to the deadly details. Obama has said, proudly and often, "I am going to give health insurance to 47 million Americans who are now without coverage." But are they "Americans?" That 47 million statistic includes illegal immigrants, who virtually all lack insurance. In fact, about one in four of those lacking insurance is here illegally. And they are, by far, the group most in need of health insurance. About 15 million of the remaining uninsured are eligible for Medicaid but haven't signed up, mainly ...
Barack Obama faces tough task to please Arabs & Jews on Mideast

Barack Obama sets out Tuesday on the most politically perilous part of his foreign trip - to Jordan, Israel and the West Bank, where his every word will be scrutinized by Jewish and Arab voters back home. Obama's recent declaration that Jerusalem should be the undivided capital of Israel - and his immediate back-pedal - created confusion over the candidate's stance on the bitter Israeli-Palestinian conflict. U.S. Jewish and Arab community leaders told the Daily News Monday that Obama has a "second chance" to define himself on Middle East policy. After leaving Iraq, Obama heads first to Jordan before reaching Israel Tuesday. Obama told pro-Israeli lobbyists last month ...

Obama Far More Popular Among Jews Than Lieberman

If Barack Obama has a problem among Jewish voters, then Sen. Joseph Lieberman is in monumental trouble. Among the most high-profile Jews in Congress, Lieberman is viewed far more unfavorably than the presumptive Democratic nominee, according to a new poll. Only 37 percent of Jews view the Connecticut Independent in a favorable light compared to 48 percent who have a negative perception. As for Obama, 60 percent of Jews view him favorably while 34 percent view him unfavorably. The findings were released as part of a recent survey of American Jews by the new progressive pro-Israel group J Street. They seem to upturn some of this year's conventional political wisdom. Obama, who is set ...

Poll Finds Racial Gap Over Excitement of Campaign Friday, July 18, 2008 7:30 AM -- An Associated Press-Yahoo News poll found differences in how engaged various groups of voters are in the presidential campaign. A RACIAL GAP In the AP-Yahoo News poll conducted in June, 49 percent of blacks said they are excited by the election campaign, compared to 16 percent of whites. Enthusiasm by African-Americans has also grown far more: 32 percent more African-Americans and just 6 percent more whites say they are excited now than said so in an AP-Yahoo News survey in November. DIVIDES AMONG WHITES Whites who say they are not excited by the campaign back Republican John McCain by a 2-to-1 margin. ...
