  • The Odinga Connection - the most damaging thing to Obama's campaign not being talked about

    Odinga - socialist/communist self-professed cousin of Obama from Kenya who cut a deal to make Sharia law with Muslim clerics in Kenya if elected. Obama traveled oversees at taxpayer expense to campaign with Odinga for the presidency. When Odinga lost in Decmeber 2007, he fomented his supporters to riot, killing 1500 and displacing 500,000 until he was named Prime Minister in April 2008. Why did Obama go to Kenya to campaign for this man?
  • AYERS-OBAMA: THE VOTERS DON’T CARE - Rick Moran

    The McCain campaign is perplexed, bothered, and bewildered of late. Despite Barack Obama’s past associations with radical bombers, nauseating racial bigots, and anti-semitic Palestinians, the media doesn’t seem to want to expose the extent of those relationships nor ask tough questions as to how the views of these extremists might have shaped or impacted his own. We can – and in many cases we should – chalk this up to a shameless bias on the part of the media toward Barack Obama and the Democrats. But something much simpler is at work, something that makes any attack on Obama by...

    Something happens to Democrats on the gun issue when they run for president. For John Kerry during 2004, it was awkwardly posing in brand new hunting gear at a seemingly endless series of hunting photo-ops. But in what will probably be the most improbable change, the Politico reported on Saturday that Barack Obama was making a big play for gun votes in Pennsylvania. It is not particularly surprising that this change is occurring with the crucial Pennsylvania primary soon approaching. With about one million of the country’s 12.5 million hunters, Pennsylvania is number one in the nation in the amount...

    As an example of the deranged reaction to Sarah Palin and the astounding hatred and bile she has provoked, this article by Matt Taibbi in Rolling Stone is hard to beat. All the Palin smears are gathered together in one foam-flecked scream of rage – not just at Palin, mark you, but most significantly at John Public who supports her, because she appeals to the low-humming narcissism that substitutes for his personality, because the image on TV reminds him of the mean, brainless slob he sees in the mirror every morning. What respect for Taibbi's fellow human beings! Showing zero...

    Thank you for joining me here today. I just returned from a trip overseas that included assessing the state of affairs in Iraq, the Middle East, and Europe. I will have more to say on those important issues in the days and weeks to come. While I was traveling overseas, our financial markets experienced another round of upheaval. This market turmoil leaves many Americans feeling both concerned and angry. People see the value of their homes fall at the same time that the price of gasoline and food is rising. Already tight household budgets are getting tighter. A lot of...

    SAN FRANCISCO – Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Tuesday that the presidential candidates should end the smear campaigns and get back to the issues. Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama are wasting time making accusations that have nothing to do with the topics Americans want to hear about, he said. “Look at what the presidential campaign has reduced down to: They now are accusing each other of things that have nothing to do with the economy, that have nothing to do with health care, that have nothing to do with the environment, that have nothing to do with, you...

    Whether Mr. Odinga [Raila Odinga] has ordered his men to commit murder and arson is unclear. But his own background does not exactly suggest enthusiasm for democracy and the rule of law. Mr. Odinga's father, Oginga Odinga, led the Communist opposition during the Cold War and Raila Odinga was educated in Communist East Germany. (snip) In August 2006, Mr. Obama visited Kenya and spoke in support of Mr. Odinga's candidacy at rallies in Nairobi. The Web site Atlas Shrugs has even posted a photograph of the two men side by side. More recently, Mr. Odinga says that Mr. Obama interrupted...

    Gun violence is a leading cause of death and injury in America, and it is steadily increasing. There are now 38,000 gun deaths a year in America, a number that continues to climb. Gun deaths of young people are increasing at an especially high rate. While the Surgion General of the United States and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have acknowledged gun violence as a public health epidemic, most laws and public policies treat gun violence as a purely criminal problem. The Foundation's focus is on reframing gun violence as a public health issue.

    There were not many conspicuous tributes to the legacy of President Bush at last month's Republican National Convention, but there was at least one. It was a campaign button with the words "Thanks, W" across the top and photos of Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. beneath the letters. Conservative legal activists view the two men as remarkable successes in Bush's quest to move the court to the right, and that is part of the reason that, as the court begins its work anew today, public attention is focused less on the cases at...

    How big, still, is Sarah Palin among the GOP base? Her rally in Pensacola Tuesday had to be moved from an airport hangar to the local civic center to accomodate the crowd. The civic center seats 10,000. It's this kind of enthusiasm, not to mention antipathy toward Obama, that will ensure Republicans come out in droves in red bulwarks like the Florida panhandle. Such turnout is key as it helps the GOP pile up large margins to offset more Democratic-leaning parts of the state. ALSO: Palin's Ft. Myers-area rally tomorrow had to be moved to a sports arena because of...

    The frontrunner for this year's Democrat presidential nomination burst upon the scene from out of nowhere only in recent months. Two or three years ago, Barrack Hussein Obama was an unknown outside his Chicago bailiwick and in some other Illinois quarters. Even his time in the Illinois State Senate was unremarkable. The beginning The Feb. 22 issue of Politico — a Washington sheet basically for political insiders — added momentum to an already-major investigative project on the part of America's Survival. On that day, it ran a story spotlighting what might be called Obama's political "coming out" 1995 reception at...

    On the heels of Gov. Sarah Palin's statement yesterday that Sen. Barack Obama does not see America as "a force for good in the world," Rep. Heather Wilson, R-N.M., accused the Democratic presidential nominee of "talking down America." Referring to his visit to Germany where he said of America, "We've made our share of mistakes," Wilson said, "We've always had this history of saying, well, you know, 'Politics end at the water's edge.' And it didn't for Barack Obama. He has been critical not only of the president but of American policy and hence has kind of a negative view...

    Barack Obama's allies warn that John McCain's attacks on the Democrat's character will lead to the political equivalent of mutual assured destruction: fire your big weapon at your own peril. The warnings of massive retaliation came as McCain's running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, took on the role of attacker and said that Obama sees America as so imperfect "that he's palling around with terrorists who would target their own country." She was referring to an early Obama supporter, 1960s radical Bill Ayers, a founder of the Weather Underground whose members were blamed for several bombings when Obama was a...

    WASHINGTON — The next president will tip the courts, one way or another. Supreme Court openings are all but guaranteed, and that's just the start: 44 trial and appellate federal judicial vacancies already await filling. There will be more. Consider this: President Bush has placed 316 judges on the bench during his two terms. One out of three federal judges now owes a lifetime-tenured job to the current president. Whoever replaces Bush will be likewise recasting courthouses, top to bottom. "The proper role of the judiciary has become one of the defining issues of this presidential election," Republican presidential candidate...
