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.
Did they, USA, think that this stupid move will work?! Creating a news channel in the Middle East and publicly announcing that it is backed by the government of USA, actually the U.S. government spent $350 dollars from taxpayers on this project, if they just asked, they would have known that this project is simply not going to work. The funny thing is that they thought they will be spreading democracy in the Middle East through such a channel.
So although here in the Middle East we know for a fact that its a flop, you know there in U.S. they love surveys and polls, so a new survey done in six countries in the Middle East stated that only two percent tune to the channel as a first choice for news source.
“Arabs sit in their homes in front of the television, and they surf like crazy,” said Hisham Melhem, a Washington-based anchor for al-Arabiya. “You rarely find someone who says they watch al-Hurra. It may be number 10 on their dial. But definitely not first, not second, not third, not fourth.”
I am not a pro political analyst, but just three headlines I read today made me believe that the Iran War is coming near and looks like its just matter of time. No one on this earth wants a war, except Israel I guess.
The first thing I heard was the announcement from the British Embassy that the risk of a terrorist attack in UAE is High. Then I saw Bush and Brown in a joint press conference where Bush said that although he hopes to settle Iran’s nuclear standoff through diplomacy he will not rule out the use of force. He said “I would like to say one thing about the Iranian demand for civilian nuclear power, it is a justifiable demand,” but he did repeatedly vow to keep the military option on the table by stating “consequences of a nuclear-armed Iran are such that military strikes are justified, whether a smoking gun is found or not”.
Brown echoed the same message, stating that an action will be taken against Iran, “Today Britain will urge Europe, and Europe will agree to take further sanctions against Iran, We will take action today that will freeze the overseas assets of the biggest bank in Iran, the Melli bank, and secondly action will start today for a new phase of sanctions on oil and gas”.
The third headline that made it so clear, crystal clear, its the news that Iran withdrew 75 Billion dollars from Europe yes I know how you feel . Basically Iran withdrew the 75 Billion dollars from Europe to prevent the assets getting blocked under the new sanctions.
I do not know what other news today or this week gave other clues, but those are the three news items that made me think this way. I might be mistaken, well actually I wish I am mistaken, we do not need more wars.
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 ?
I have been reading all sorts of bad bad reviews from media critics all over the Internet on how much the ABC debate just sucked big time. But putting aside all those articles, you will be able to know how bad it was when you see what Jon Stewart said about it.
He did it the best, he gave three segments for it and the best line was:
“A 60 minute master class in questions that elevate out of context remarks and trivial, insipid miscues into subjects of national discourse, which is my job. Stop doing my job.”
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.
Just After her fear tactic ad, comes this very clever ad from Barack Obama’s campaign showing a 4 year old speech by Bill Clinton stating that people should follow the candidate who makes them think and who gives them hope.
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.
