All eyes are on Obama in Iraq carefully waiting for a mistake or a gaffe expecting that he might be as ignorant as Mccain, now we all know that people can make mistakes, when they are tired from “campaignin” but when it becomes a series of mistakes then we can easily say that this is a REAL problem IN the candidate, I wont have to remind you of the many many gaffes by Mccain one of those ones that really made me laugh is the Sunna Shia error while he was in Iraq and he was corrected by Liebermann.
Now I can hear some of you shouting towards the screen saying that also Obama had gaffes while in the primaries, such as 57 states bit, well look at the percentage between those two guys and DECIDE.
As I said while all the eyes are on Obama, the first foreign policy gaffe was OWNED by Mr. John Mccain.
But is this being covered by the mainstream media, really doubt any of them shed any light on this issue. The media are so hooked on Obama, what he says what he does where he goes, is he moving to the center, who will be his vice president, is he this is he that and during allllll this Mccain is having a free ride. The only shows that I guess will show this clip is The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and Countdown with Keith Olbermann. Both cable shows

Olbermann: Sen. Barack Obama is going to suffer political attacks no matter how he votes on the FISA bill but he can still stand on principle and score a political win by promising to take advantage of a loophole in the bill.

To those who do not know, Charlie Black who is John McCain’s chief advisor had said earlier that a terrorist attack on USA would create a big advantage for McCain. Richard Clarke appeared on Countdown with Keith Olbermann and said that Charlie Black’s comments are “politics of fear” and advised McCain to fire him immediately “Charlie Black ought to be gone tomorrow morning.”

I was watching HARDBALL with Chris Mathews just a minute ago and MSNBC announced that Rep. James Enos “Jim” Clyburn will be endorsing Barack Obama, this means that Barack Obama now only needs 39.5 delegates to clinch the nomination.

Does this really means anything, why is she still running, is it really possible to win it, even if she takes it to the convention which I really doubt the party will allow it to be stretched that far, but why is she doing this, cant she just be a leader and show some respect and congratulate Obama. Today we find that the Democratic Party is not controlled by the Clintons, because believe me for a while we had this illusion that it is actually like that. Anyway they approved seating Florida and Michigan Delegates with Half Votes, I really do not know if this is actually gonna make any difference.
The only difference I see is that the numbers changed a bit, now to clinch the nomination the candidate needs to get 2,118 delegates, Obama had a total of 1,984 delegates ofcourse counting both pledged and super delegates, now after getting 32 delegates from Michigan and 36 from Florida his total is 2,052. Clinton in the other hand, had a total of 1,781 delegates, now after getting 38 in Michigan and 56.5 from Florida her total is 1,877.5.
Obama needs now 66 delegates to clinch the nomination, I guess the numbers might be different, some sources says Obama needs 64 more delegates and some say 66, so whatever the number is Obama is the nominee, I cant believe that we are actually still discussing this.
Harold Ickes, in ending his statement against the Michigan proposal said:
“Mrs Clinton has asked me to reserve her rights to take this to the credentials committee.”
She really wants to take this to the convention?! She rather hurt her party rather than just drop out, if this goes to the convention and I am so sure it wont, but if it does neither of those two candidates will win, and we will end up with a BUSH third term, idiots.

Yesterday Barack Obama won big in North Carolina, he smashed clinton by more than 15 points. While in Indiana Clinton was a able to have a modest 2 points win over Obama. So In NC Obama wins 56% to 42% for Hillary and in Indiana Clinton wins 51% to 49% to Obama.
Bottom line Obama has even more delegates now than ever, he needs less than 300 delegates to lock the nomination, she needs to win 80% of the upcoming delegates, which as we know is impossible.
Everybody knows it was all over for Hillary months ago, but the media just wanted to keep the competition alive so they would have something to do. Have panels, interviews, polls, projections and discussion after discussion after discussion.
But I promise all of the media that they will be very busy in the general election, and after November they will go back to cover Paris Hilton and Britney Spears showing their stuff.
“With leads like this now, if you throw in Michigan and Florida, as is, then Obama would still have about 150,000 votes and he would still have 100 delegates, pledged delegate, lead.” - Chuck Todd
Tim Russert delivered the bottom line effectively: “We now know who the democratic nominee is going to be and no one is going to dispute it”
“Some were saying that North Carolina would be a game-changer in this election. But today, what North Carolina decided is that the only game that needs changing is the one in Washington, DC” - Barack Obama
Here is Barack Obama’s speech after the win in North Carolina:
And you can just feel in his speech that he has fully switched now to the General Election mode, he know that whatever is going to happen he is the nominee and therefor he will start to focus on McCain.
Logically, today we are seeing infront of our eyes, the new President of USA. That is if the dems does not screw it up.

Bill Clinton was loved and respected by many Americans, and even people outside USA, even after his scandal with lewinsky. But lately he is damaging his legacy and his reputation, both clintons are also damaging the democratic party. He thinks he is helping his wife and he thinks they are winning but they are not just losing the elections they are losing their reputation.
Lately he was on WHYY radio and he said “No, I think that they played the race card on me”, but then later he denied ever saying that!! He is denying something that is was recorded by his own voice, what’s next?!
So what if Old Bill and New Bill IM’d, what would they say to each other ?
