I was trying to find a video that would summarize the primaries, showing the highlights of what happened during the five months. Yesterday I was watching COUNTDOWN and was amazed on how they made a video of just what I was thinking. The way they combined events was clever and funny in sometimes. Watch……
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.
J ohn Edwards drops out of US presidential race, I expect him to endorse Obama very soon. Edwards was always the underdog, trailing Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. He based his campaign bid on supporting the middle class and promissed to get out of Iraq from day one.
If he endorse Obama, this has huge meeaning for Obama’s campaign and another blow to Hillary Clinton’s Bid.
Edwards will have a speech at 18:00 GMT in New Orleans.
Mark Larsen of 1040 AM WWBA had an amazing interview with the republican party presidential nominee Mitt Romney, and after discussing cutting taxes for few minutes Mark Larsen mentions Ron Paul strategy for the taxes and Mitt Romeny chuckles and laughs of Ron Paul drove Larsen to support Ron Paul!!!
This interview just shows how candidates run away when asked serious important questions, directly on issues. You just have to hear what Mark Larsen reply was like, an amazing, just amazing summary of what really the US Elections is all about.
Senator Edward M. “Ted” Kennedy, a leading icon in the democratic party and the brother of JFK the assassinated president, joined with his son Representative Patrick Kennedy, and niece Caroline Kennedy the daughter of the assassinated president endorsed Barack Obama for the party’s presidential nomination during a rally at the American University in Washington DC.
Sen. Ted Kennedy called Obama “an inspirational uniter”, and each one of the Kennedys linked Obama to John F. Kennedy the iconic Democratic leader who Obama usually is compared to. Sen. Ted Kennedy talked how he always was asked who he will endorse and the answer was that he was going to support the candidate who inspires him:
“Every time I’ve been asked over the past year who I would support in the Democratic primary, my answer has always been the same: I’ll support the candidate who inspires me, who inspires all of us, who can lift our vision and summon our hopes and renew our belief that our country’s best days are still to come. I’ve found that candidate. And it looks to me like you have too.”
Here is the Video of Sen. Ted Kennedy endorsement:
Sen. Ted Kennedy answered all the points raised by the Clintons, point after point, remark after remark giving a neat summary of all the criticism that the Clintons have been shooting towards Obama since the start of the campaign. Specially since Barack Obama’s win in Iowa which shocked Hillary Clinton’s campaign and made her and her husband Bill Clinton on the offence. Bill Clinton who used to be a respectable and liked ex-president lately became the designated attacker of Obama, attack after attack after attack, in my opinion he is hurting his wife’s bid for the presidency.
The question here is will this endorsement really help Obama, it will help in some areas and especially with Hispanic voters, who Obama’s campaign have been lagging behind Hillary Clinton. Any candidate would love to be endorsed by Sen. Ted Kennedy, but will this help Obama in a huge scale, I do not believe so. Only one week left for the Super Tuesday anyway, we will wait and see, although I really wish to see Obama winning, but I believe those “Super” delegates Hillary Clinton has will save her in the end of the day and she will be the “Democratic Party Presidential Nominee”.
I was checking out youtube today and searching for different kind of new videos for Hillary, Obama, Edwards, Kucinich and Ron Paul, and I found this old video of Ron Paul which was submitted to youtube today. Simply amazing, Ron Paul two years ago have warned that to gain support to nuke Iran either by USA directly or through Israel that a “Gulf of Tonkin” type incident will occur. Again this is before TWO YEARS!!
Ron Paul have been right on many things by now, he predicted a number of things that happened years later, he amazing predicted what will happen if USA invaded Iraq, and that Iran have stopped their nuclear program, and he also predicted the recession that USA is heading towards. Day after day I realize that Ron Paul is simply the real deal, he knows what he is talking about and he simply does not bullshit around like other candidates. My advice to Mr. Paul is that if he did not win as a republican that he needs to enter the presidential race as an independent.
