As usual an amazing Special Comment by Keith Olbermann on John McCain’s criticism of the NBC elections coverage and Barack Obama. Keith amazingly gives it to McCain, its worth watching each and every second of this Special Comment. Olbermann always says what is on my mind that’s why am so addicted to watching Countdown.
Keith Olbermann explained this Special Comment in a post on the Daily Kos.
Well this is not a sure thing, but many many journalists and media sources are either directly or indirectly hinting that Obama might announce his choice for Vice President before the Olympics, the reason for choosing this time is that the media will be focused on the Olympics and the only other time to do that is on the convention. So to take the attention of the media a number of journalists are predicting that it would be on Wednesday, some even predict who it will be, and the name I am reading and hearing a lot these past few days is Evan Bayh the Indiana Senator.
Although I have been following the news carefully on TV, Newspapers and Online Political Blogs, nothing was as accurate and as straightforward as the article I read on the Huffington Post on the 4th of August where Bil Browning states why he predicts that Obama will be announcing his VP on Wednesday and why it will be Bayh. I think the most powerful reason he states is when he wrote:
“I just got an invite from the Obama campaign to attend an appearance on Wednesday that isn’t on Obama’s official calendar. Why not? The campaign said, “I can’t tell you what the event is about, but we want to make sure you have a ticket so you can cover it for the Bilerico Project. We want Bilerico Project to be there for this one.”"
I think Evan Bayh is a good choice for many reasons, and a bad choice for many many reasons too. One of the most obvious reasons why he might be a good choice is ofcourse the chance in turning Indiana blue in November, another reason could be that he was a Clinton supporter, but I think one of many reasons why he is a bad choice is the fact that he was PRO-WAR, and he is a Conservative who was an honorary co-chair of the neocon pro-war Committee For the Liberation of Iraq, with McCain !?!?! Many might debate how Conservative bayh is, but in the end of the day he is a conservative who was with McCain in the Iraq Liberation Committee, what can be said more than that?
So although the scenario depicted by the media is PERFECT and MAKES SENSE, the CHOICE is sort of BAD. Just saying… lets wait and see.
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 do not know why is this site launching now, it should have been launched since January this year, but it seems they wanted it to be focused on smears coming from the republicans.
Obama and his wife have been heavily attacked from all sides, and most attacks are backed with lies lies lies. I am not saying that Barack Obama is perfect, nobody is perfect but at least when you want to attack your opponent try to back it with some facts.
The first thing Barack Obama talked about after his latest victory, clinching the nomination, was his grandmother, he wished that she was with him. So how did his family celebrate? actually many Kenyans celebrated.
Many videos out there on Youtube and other video hosting websites that attacks and exposes John Mccain, videos that shows how uneducated he is in economics and videos that show how he lied again and again about Iraq and how he wants to attack Iran. This video you are about to watch is really good, it shocked me by the end, it was created by a Ron Paul supporter back in February 2008.
I don’t know what to say, this is THE BEST special comment I have ever heard from Keith Olbermann, day after day those special comments get bigger and better.
Olbermann denounces President Bush for suggesting that electing a Democrat as president means “another attack on the United States”, he also questioned his claim of giving up golf out of empathy for fallen U.S. soldiers.
Are you freakin kidding me, what the heck is going on, is there no way to stop this!! This is disgusting, So what, the elections do not have any any any kind of rules in USA, I am not American but this is so so low I never expected it, she did go low in standards since LOSING eleven contests one after the other, she showed her jealousy , she showed her envy and her anger, BUT THIS!!!
Both videos after the jump….
The latest ad her website ran on youtube named “True”, they basically took a footage from an MSNBC debate to make Barack Obama seem blacker/darker and they squashed his face too. That is not the only thing, she is also LYING, the ad says “As chairman of the oversight committee charged with the force of fighting al Qaeda in Afghanistan, he was too busy running for President to hold even one hearing.”, now that is not true. Obama is the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on European Affairs.
Here are the Ad video:
And here is the original footage:
This makes me despise Hillary even more than I already do, and I am not even an American, I am just one of those who follow and observe politics worldwide.
The night started very well for Obama, by winning Georgia and Illinois, but Clinton is doing better now, by especially winning Tennessee where Obama was expected to do well, and winning Massachusetts where Ted Kennedy endorsement of Obama did not help him much, maybe he even hurt him, so she won over Obama and Ted Kennedy.
In my opinion its looking like Clinton is going to be the nominee, maybe not today, but maybe by March or a bit later than that. But if Obama was able to score some more critical states, who know what could happen, again this election is all about delegates, and by now before counting in the wins of Clinton in Newyork and New Jersey, he is getting more delegates. Ofcourse winning Newyork would have been a great thing but i believe Mr. Obama himself knew he wont be able to do that, but Massachusetts I think they thought they had it in the bag.
Here are the results till now:
Obama: AL, DE, IL, GA, KS - Clinton: NY, TN, AR, OK, NJ, MA
