Clinton Camp Raps Obama Camp Over Photo 1 hour ago WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign criticized Barack Obama's campaign Friday for "peddling photos" of former President Clinton and Obama's longtime pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. A photograph of the former president and Wright shows the two shaking hands with at a White House prayer breakfast in September 1998. The New York Times posted the photo to its Web site on Thursday and said it was provided by the Obama campaign. Excerpts of Wright's sermons have been the source of controversy for Obama in recent days. Videos of the former pastor railing against the United States and accusing the ...
Pay Attention to Barack Obama's Theology [Full Thread]

"Appearances deceive but can be changed. Reality is changeless. It does not deceive at all. And if you fail to see beyond appearances, you ARE deceived." ~ Jesus Christ (Modern revelation) Barack Obama would love the American public to believe he is somehow spiritually advanced or at least a devotee of Christianity. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Barack Obama's "Christianity" is Marxism restated using Christian terms, a particularly deceitful expression of the leftist slogan: "the end justifies the means." Except for the hijacked terminology, there is nothing Christian about Obama's heresy. Obama is a long time champion of what is known as ...
Poll: Divisive Dem Contest Could Boost McCain

(CNSNews.com) - The lengthy Democratic primary contest bodes well for Republican chances of holding the White House, a new poll suggests. As Democratic Senators Barack Obama of Illinois and Hillary Clinton of New York slug it out for the nomination, many of their supporters -- at least in Pennsylvania, site of the next major primary -- aren't committed to the party's ticket in November, according to a Franklin & Marshall College Poll. Among Obama supporters, 20 percent said they would vote for Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the Republican nominee, if Clinton beats their candidate for the nomination. Among Clinton supporters, 19 percent said they would support McCain in November ...
Obama's Speech—A Brief for Whitey

How would he pull it off? I wondered. How would Barack explain to his press groupies why he sat silent in a pew for 20 years as the Rev. Jeremiah Wright delivered racist rants against white America for our maligning of Fidel and Gadhafi, and inventing AIDS to infect and kill black people? How would he justify not walking out as Wright spewed his venom about "the U.S. of K.K.K. America," and howled, "God damn America!" My hunch was right. Barack would turn the tables. Yes, Barack agreed, Wright's statements were "controversial," and "divisive," and "racially charged," reflecting a "distorted view of America." But we must ...
"Today, I weep for my country" -- The speech given by Sen. Robert Byrd on the Senate floor on March 19, 2003, just prior to the U.S. invasion of Iraq -- and John McCain's response.

Editor's note: Exactly five years ago, on the afternoon of March 19, 2003, mere hours before bombs began falling in Baghdad, Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., gave a speech on the floor of the U.S. Senate condemning the use of military force in Iraq. As soon as Byrd was finished speaking, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., delivered a response defending the Bush administration's decision to go to war. Both speeches are reproduced in full below. March 19, 2003 -- - Byrd: I believe in this beautiful country. I have studied its roots and gloried in the wisdom of its magnificent Constitution. I have marveled at the wisdom of its founders and framers. Generation after generation of Americans has ...
Obama demands probe over passport breach

Barack Obama's campaign tonight is demanding a full investigation of reports that his passport files at the State Department were viewed without authorization. “This is an outrageous breach of security and privacy, even from an Administration that has shown little regard for either over the last eight years. Our government’s duty is to protect the private information of the American people, not use it for political purposes. This is a serious matter that merits a complete investigation, and we demand to know who looked at Senator Obama’s passport file, for what purpose, and why it took so long for them to reveal this security breach,” Obama campaign spokesman Bill ...
Libertarians Seek Former Rep. Bob Barr Candidacy

Former Rep. Bob Barr of Georgia is considering a third-party presidential run — a bid that could steal support from Republican John McCain and potentially offset the damage Ralph Nader"s candidacy is predicted to have on the Democratic candidate. Mr. Barr, a House Republican impeachment manager during President Clinton's administration, yesterday confirmed his interest in running as a Libertarian but said he is unwilling to talk about any "polling we may have done or may do, not at this point." "There is great deal [of] dissatisfaction with the candidates for the two major parties, particularly among conservatives, but also a great deal of Internet and other ...

Response to Clinton Attacks on Military ContractorsMarch 17, 2008 “Proving once again that she will say anything to win an election, Hillary Clinton is attacking Barack Obama on an issue where he has led and she did nothing until her campaign fell behind. Senator Clinton did nothing when the use of contractors was expanded in the Clinton Administration, she did nothing when Senator Obama sent a bill on contractor accountability to her committee, and after more than four years of war in Iraq she claimed to not even know contractors were unaccountable even though she sits on the Senate committee that oversees them. For all her talk of Day One, it took five years on the Armed Services ...
Hagee, in 'NYT' This Sunday, Says McCain Sought His Endorsement

Published: March 20, 2008 5:35 PM ET NEW YORK In an interview that will appear in this Sunday's New York Times Magazine, controversial televangelist Rev. John Hagee declares, "It's true that [John] McCain's campaign sought my endorsement." McCain has attempted to distance himself from some of Hagee's views, much as Barack Obama is doing in relation to Rev. Jeremiah Wright. But unlike McCain, Obama has not stood on stage with Wright and accepted his accolades this year. Interviewed by Deborah Solomon, Hagee refused to discuss his statement that Hurricane Katrina was God's punishment for a gay rights parade in New Orleans, calling it "so far ...

Jeremiah Wright: True and False (DAVID R. HENDERSON)

Jeremiah Wright: True and False I stayed home Tuesday morning to watch the much-hyped Barack Obama speech on race and Jeremiah Wright. I was glad I did. I'll forgive him his 35-minute, Bill Clinton-style delay before speaking because this speech was obviously one of the most important of his campaign. I had wondered how Obama would both speak to white people who are concerned about the incendiary comments of Obama's mentor, Jeremiah Wright, and, at the same time, not upset black people, many of whom share some or all of Wright's views. Obama did a good job, given the circumstances. Why "given the circumstances?" Because there was a lot in Jeremiah Wright's ...
29th Republican - Tom Reynolds - Says Adios To House

Rep. Tom Reynolds (R-N.Y.), who barely hung onto his House seat in 2006 after the Mark Foley page scandal, is announcing today that he is retiring from Congress. Reynolds was once considered a likely candidate to succeed House Speaker Dennis Hastert but now becomes the 29th Republican to decline to run for reelection and the second former chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee to announce his departure. The Republican exodus is hardly surprising now that Democrats have taken over control of the chamber, as well as the chairmanships, perks and privileges that come with being in the majority. In 1994, when Republicans won the majority, 28 Democrats decided to retire ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Hillary and Bill Clinton are again teaming up on Barack Obama -- this time saying the first-term U.S. lawmaker, whom they have derided as inexperienced, would be a strong running mate on a Democratic presidential ticket headed by the former first lady. In talking up a joint ticket, the Clintons may be seeking the upper hand, attempting to put her in consideration for the top of the ticket when she so far has failed to win the votes necessary to assure that she would face Republican presidential candidate John McCain in the November election. The maneuver may also be aimed at countering an image in voters' minds of Obama as presidential material and at helping ...

The image of the two Democratic front-runners at last night's debate in Los Angeles was striking -- a black man and a white woman. One of the two is poised to make history, and they are both bringing in tens of thousands of new voters. And there's one way to top it -- for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to join forces on a single Democratic dream ticket. Last night, when CNN's Wolf Blitzer asked, "Would you consider an Obama-Clinton or Clinton-Obama ticket going down the road," neither candidate denied the possibility. "Well, there's a difference between those two," Obama laughed. "But her service to this country has been extraordinary. And ...

A Virginian Veep? Webb Downplays the Rumors Updated 4:05 p.m. By David Broder Is Sen. Jim Webb of Virginia interested in being on the Democratic ticket this year? "Not particularly," he told a group of reporters Wednesday. His less than firm rejection of the rumors linking him to the No. 2 spot was the final question at a breakfast session sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor, leaving journalists free to speculate. That speculation was fueled further by Webb's announcement that on May 20, he will publish his latest book, "A Time to Fight," a non-fiction volume dealing with "economic unfairness" here at home, "strategic failures" in Iraq ...

By Steve Holland WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton now argues that the North American Free Trade Agreement needs to be renegotiated, but newly released records showed on Wednesday she promoted its passage. The National Archives and the Clinton presidential library jointly released more than 11,000 pages of Clinton's daily schedule as first lady from 1993 to 2001. The release came in response to charges that she is overly secretive, and also allowed her campaign to promote her argument that she gained valuable White House experience during her years as first lady. Clinton and Obama are battling to win Pennsylvania on April 22, the next contest ...

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Barack Obama suggested Wednesday that Hillary Rodham Clinton could not be trusted to end the Iraq war because she only started opposing it when she began her bid for president. In a speech not far from North Carolina's Fort Bragg military base, the Democratic presidential hopeful told military families and local officials that the war has emboldened al-Qaida, the Taliban, Iran and North Korea. "Ask yourself," Obama told the crowd, "Who do you trust to end a war: someone who opposed the war from the beginning, or someone who started opposing it when they started preparing a run for president?" Obama used the five-year anniversary of ...

Barack Obama thought O.J. did it In his much-publicized and hashed-over speech on race relations Monday, Barack Obama made a brief reference to the notorious O.J. Simpson murder trial, citing it as an example of the predilection to "tackle race only as spectacle." Less noticed was the elaboration he provided in an interview aired Monday night on ABC's "Nightline" on the question that once so divided many whites and blacks: did Simpson butcher his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her wrong-place, wrong-time friend, Ron Goldman? "You remember when, during the O.J. trial ... black and white culture just had these completely opposite reactions and nobody ...

By BRIAN ROSS and AVNI PATEL March 19, 2008 Buried in his eloquent, highly praised speech on America's racial divide, Sen. Barack Obama contradicted more than a year of denials and spin from him and his staff about his knowledge of Rev. Jeremiah Wright's controversial sermons. Similarly, Obama also has only recently given a much fuller accounting of his relationship with indicted political fixer Antoin "Tony" Rezko, a longtime friend, who his campaign once described as just one of "thousands of donors." Until yesterday, Obama said the only thing controversial he knew about Rev. Wright was his stand on issues relating to Africa, abortion and gay ...

Obama's Speech Wasn't About Race. It Was About Leadership Admit it: This has been the most magnificent campaign of our lives. Entertaining, uplifting, full of surprise and great characters. Who will ever forget Mike Huckabee or Ron Paul. And today it outdid itself. Obama's speech on race was stunning. I can't be the only sophisticated person who was blown away. I thought I was used to his style, to the quality of his thought. I thought he was going to be careful. I was amazed. What he did was call us to the better angels of our nature. He told us that blacks are angry for a reason. He said that racism has been persistent and disabling. He said that blacks have been ...
