At an appearance in Iowa, a fifth-grader asked Obama a raw question about immigration and terrorism. Obama responded by trying to sell the kid on illegal immigration. Then, after first downplaying the threat of terrorist infiltration, he admitted it was a possibility. Why does Obama have to hold border security hostage to a massive amnesty? Shouldn't he have been doing his job all during his term in office and protecting the U.S. from terrorist infiltration? See the video here, or see the main link for the script to the video.

WATERLOO, Iowa — Senator Barack Obama is seeking to capitalize on a moment of opportunity in the weeks before the Iowa caucuses to challenge Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s long dominance of the Democratic field, and in doing so, he now faces intensified questions about his vulnerabilities in a general election.

Bill Clinton didn’t deny Charlie Rose’s assessment that he was angry at Clinton’s advisors over her lackluster performance in Iowa and he seemed to know the tid bits of every argument presented in the media against her candidacy. It was funny to hear his assessment of the much reported Kindergarten Debacle. It seemed like Washington swooped down and overwhelmed the Board at the Des Moines Register.

MASON CITY, Iowa — Democrat Barack Obama on Sunday confronted one of the persistent falsehoods circulating about him on the Internet. He went to church. His attendance here at the First Congregational United Church of Christ, with the news media in tow, was as much an observation of faith as it was a rejoinder to baseless e-mailed rumors that he is a Muslim and poses a threat to the security of the United States.

<p>NEW SCHOOL President and former US Sen. Bob Kerrey just couldn't help himself from applauding Barack Obama after endorsing Hillary Rodham Clinton in Iowa yesterday - until he gave a left-handed compliment that almost sounded like it was cooked up in Clinton's headquarters.</p>

A certain frequent poster here, not a diarist, he's never written one as far as I can tell, has twice written comments in the last day that said that President Bill Clinton is a rapist. The first time he did this, I wrote to him enraged and he came back and made the same charge again. Later, I started to wonder how it was that at a Democratic blog, a supporter of another candidate was publicly making such a vicious, hate filled accusation. God damn it. I knew, just knew, from day one of Obama's campaign when that slime Robert...

<p>Former President Bill Clinton made an unusually direct attack Friday night on Senator Barack Obama, one of his wife’s leading rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination, suggesting that voters who would support someone with Mr. Obama’s experience were willing to “roll the dice” on the presidency.</p>

Some Obama supporters have asked why former Sen. Bob Kerrey, D-Neb., who endorsed Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., today, mentioned her opponent Sen. Barack Hussein Obama's middle name in remarks published in The Washington Post. "I like the fact that his name is Barack Hussein Obama, and that his father was a Muslim and that his paternal grandmother is a Muslim," Kerrey is quoted as saying. "There's a billion people on the planet that are Muslims, and I think that experience is a big deal." Obama supporters see this in the same light that they see Clinton strategist Mark Penn's remarks...

Some context might be helpful as Bill Shaheen, a prominent New Hampshire Democrat and the husband of former Governor (and 2008 Senate candidate) Jeanne Shaheen, does the Clinton campaign's bidding in an effort to raise doubts about Barack Obama's character. Shaheen, a Hillary supporter who often accompanies the candidate on her trips to New Hampshire, is pointedly raising the issue of Obama's admissions of past drug use, according to the Washington Post: ... What's interesting is that the Shaheens -- both Bill and Jeanne -- were critical players in Al Gore's 2000 campaign, helping to orchestrate the narrow New Hampshire...

THIS campaign season has been in desperate need of its own reincarnation of Howard Beale from “Network”: a TV talking head who would get mad as hell and not take it anymore. Last weekend that prayer was answered when Lawrence O’Donnell, an excitable Democratic analyst, seized a YouTube moment while appearing on one of the Beltway’s more repellent Sunday bloviathons, “The McLaughlin Group.”Pushed over the edge by his peers’ polite chatter about Mitt Romney’s sermon on “Faith in America,” Mr. O’Donnell branded the speech “the worst” of his lifetime. Then he went on a rampage about Mr. Romney’s Mormon religion,...

Air America radio host Randi Rhodes unleashed a torrent of what's being called "liberal racism" and accused Oprah Winfrey of "acting" when she stumped for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. On her show last week, Rhodes discussed Oprah's appearances on Obama's behalf, and told listeners: "She was blacker than Obama yesterday . . . Let me tell you something. Everyone who watches Oprah are the whitest people in the world . . . Even the black men who watch Oprah are white women while they watch Oprah . . . "She's like so unbelievably white . . . Why is...

"They're in chaos - there's definite friction at the top between [Clinton spokesman] Howard Wolfson and [chief strategist] Mark Penn...Clinton's doing the best she can to get back on message, but her top echelon's distracted by its own power struggle, as opposed to worrying about her," the source said. Bill Clinton's ex-strategist called attempts to malign Obama's credibility with voters "idiotic." "Who cares what Obama wrote in kindergarten?....now we're moving up the food chain to what he did in high school? It's an idiotic strategy, and it came at the wrong time for her."

Barack Obama seizes his chance By Toby Harnden Last Updated: 2:41am GMT 15/12/2007 Clumsy slurs from Hillary Clinton's campaign have seen Barack Obama pull past her in the race for the White House. Toby Harnden describes how the senator hit fighting form It was the moment that Barack Obama became the front-runner in the race for the White House. As he waited at a private terminal in Washington airport to board his charter plane to Des Moines for Thursday's Democratic debate, an aide to Hillary Clinton approached him. The former First Lady would "like to have a word". The two...

Ex-president Bill Clinton appeared on Charlie Rose to explain the problems Mrs. Bill Clinton is experiencing in the Iowa Caucuses. He will be surprised if she wins the caucuses. Hmmm, Hillary is expressing just the opposite. Will the lamps start flying in the Clinton household again?

MAQUOKETA, IOWA -- It was an unusual question at the end of a long day. What, the fifth-grader asked Barack Obama, would you do as president if illegal immigrants staged a terrorist attack on the United States while you were pulling troops out of Iraq?

Wild Bill Clinton drew his wife's battle-scarred campaign even further off track when he told interviewer Charlie Rose that Americans would be taking a "risk" by voting for close rival Barack Obama, saying the junior senator from Illinois wasn't ready to be president. "If you listen to the people who are most strongly for [Obama], they say basically we have to throw away all these experienced people because they have been through the wars of the '90s," Clinton told Rose for the PBS show that aired Friday night.

The Des Moines Register decides to hold a tie-breaking debate with the two Democratic front-runners. WASHBURN: Senator Clinton, I’d like you to start us off by explaining why your campaign has been getting down and dirty with someone so clean and articulate? CLINTON: I apologized to Senator Obama. I absolutely did not authorize or condone the remarks made by one of my co-chairs in New Hampshire about my distinguished colleague’s youthful indiscretions. If primary voters don’t care that he did “a little blow,” then my goodness, why should I? Even if he had packed a straw full of the white...

WATERLOO, Iowa - Democrat Barack Obama Saturday scoffed at suggestions by President Clinton that the Illinois senator is not ready to be president, and that Obama is running strong in Iowa in part because his home state and Iowa share a border. "When I was 20 points down, they all thought I was a wonderful guy. Obviously things have changed here in Iowa and elsewhere," Obama said at a press conference Saturday. "If they're suggesting that I, as this 'callow youth,' somehow had a structural advantage in Iowa relative to the Clinton operation and the former president of the United...
