Obama Divorces Wright 29 Apr 2008 02:25 pm That was a very impressive, clear and constructive re-framing of the core message of his candidacy; and a moment given to him by Wright. No one will ever be able to say that Obama threw his father-figure and pastor under the bus. We all know that the reverse happened. We also know that this clear repudiation of Wright's toxic, indeed "ridiculous" views on AIDS, 9/11 and permanent immiseration of people of color could not have happened unless Wright had made it necessary. Skeptics may wonder whether Wright actually deliberately did Obama a favor. I doubt it. But a favor it unintentionally is. Maybe God does bring good out of bad. ...

Obama ‘Outraged’: Wright’s Comments Should Be Denounced and I Do So Unequivocally WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) - Democrat Barack Obama said Tuesday he was outraged and appalled by the latest comments from his former pastor, who asserted that criticism of his fiery sermons is an attack on the black church and the U.S. government was responsible for the creation of the AIDS virus. The presidential candidate is seeking to tamp down the growing fury over Rev. Jeremiah Wright and his incendiary remarks that threaten to undermine his campaign. "I am outraged by the comments that were made and saddened by the spectacle that we saw yesterday," Obama told reporters at a news ...

WASHINGTON - Loyal Democrat Richard Somer says if Hillary Rodham Clinton gets his party's presidential nomination, he just may sit it out this Election Day. Barack Obama supporter, Somer says he has been repulsed by her use of "slimy insinuations" in the campaign. He especially disliked her attacking the Illinois senator for his relationship with William Ayers, a former Weather Underground radical with provocative views. "She's better than that," said Somer, 72, a retired professor from Clinton, N.Y. He said he expects the Democrats to carry New York anyway, so he might not vote "as a protest to Mrs. Clinton." Somer is not the only Democrat ...

April 29, 2008 -- Barack Obama made a call for nonviolence in the aftermath of the Sean Bell verdict - infuriating the Rev. Al Sharpton, who accused the presidential candidate of trying to "grandstand in front of white people," sources told The Post.

Poster Comment:During one of the most difficult periods in the presidency of Bill Clinton, he addressed a group of clerics at an annual prayer breakfast in September 1998 just as the Starr report outlining his dalliance with Monica Lewinsky was about to be published. Among those in attendance, was the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., who is seen shaking hands with Mr. Clinton in a photograph provided today by the Obama campaign. Mr. Wright’s relationship with Senator Barack Obama, as his longtime pastor, has been the subject of considerable controversy in recent days because of incendiary excerpts of sermons Mr. Wright gave at their church, Trinity United Church of Christ, in Chicago.

JERUSALEM – Rev. Jeremiah Wright demonstrated he is a "man of principle" by sticking to his teachings of "black liberation theology" during today's highly publicized session with the news media, Malik Zulu Shabazz, national chairman of the New Black Panther Party, told WND in an interview. Shabazz, who was in the audience at Wright's National Press Club event in Washington, said he was particularly proud of Wright's defense of Nation of Islam head Louis Farrakhan.

Obama Can Spread Prosperity, Fairness, Buffett Says By Julianna Goldman Aug. 16 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. Senator Barack Obama is a ``leader'' who can ease economic disparity while increasing prosperity, billionaire Warren Buffett said at a fund-raiser he held for the presidential hopeful last night. ``We have abundance but we don't have as much fairness as we might have in the system,'' Buffett, 76, told attendees at the Omaha, Nebraska event. Buffett, who has not endorsed Obama, 46, or rival New York Senator Hillary Clinton, 59, said earlier this year that he would help either of them with their presidential campaigns if asked. He has often criticized the government for ...

WASHINGTON - Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean said Monday that either Hillary Rodham Clinton or Barack Obama must drop out of the Democratic presidential race after the June primaries in order to unify the party by the convention and win the election in November.

That's over on June 3," Dean said in an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America."

Hillary Gets No Respect By WILLIAM KRISTOL Published: April 28, 2008 I normally don’t claim to speak for other members of the vast right-wing conspiracy. After all, we’re each nefarious in our own, individual way. Indeed, we often disagree with one another. But I do think I can speak for most of my fellow right-wingers when I say this: We once looked forward with unambivalent glee to the fall of the house of Clinton. Many of us still do. But we also see the liberal media failing to give Hillary Clinton the respect she deserves. So, since we conservatives believe in giving credit where credit is due, it falls to us to praise Hillary. The fact is Hillary Clinton has turned out ...

John McCain's "hundred years" in Iraq is the Democrats' new ad
The Democratic National Committee has unveiled a new 30-second ad attacking Republican nominee-in-waiting John McCain.
Titled “100,” the ad -- which you can see below -- begins with footage of McCain, during a town-hall forum in New Hampshire in January, responding to a voter's comment about how long U.S. troops could be expected to remain in Iraq.
“President Bush has talked about our staying in Iraq for 50 years,” the audio of the voter says as his words appear on half of a split screen.
“Maybe a hundred ...

At the rate it's devolving, voters in South Dakota and Montana can look forward to Deal or No Deal getting interrupted by footage of Hitler at the Reichstag--with Obama. All the ridiculous sniping got me wondering how politicians went after one another before television. It turns out the Ancient Greeks--inventors of Democracy--may also have invented the first smear tactic: the attack poem. Don't laugh. Poetry was primarily spoken, not written, back then, and it was often recited publicly. A ...

Nader asks: Which side are you on? Posted at Vote Nader Blog Earlier this month, we wrote that it was “shameful” that progressives like Medea Benjamin were supporting the Democratic Party over Nader/Gonzalez. Medea posted a response on one of our blogs, saying she was offended by the accusation, and said we should “respect” each other’s choices. Medea used the word “respect” three times in one paragraph. One person who was on the receiving end of Medea’s “respect” in 2004 was Peter Camejo, Ralph’s running mate in 2004. We asked Peter to respond to Medea. Please read Peter’s essay carefully.
