All of the tell-all books may be on hold because of Hillary being named SoS. In fact, I would submit that is WHY she is SoS. Bill had already promised in late October to explain his side of what happened in the primaries in January 2009 after the election. I bet anything that Emanuel and Penetta told Obama that Bill would make good on that promise if he didn’t make Hillary a good offer. I simply do not believe his Lincoln bullsh*t to naming your opponents to your cabinet. Obama is way too thin-skinned to be that magnanimous. He is only considering Howard Dean for Surgeon General since he has been shamed into it.

On the advice of Pelosi, in 2007 the first money this company raised for him went to payoff the super delegates (between $5,000-$11,000 for their campaigns) to keep their support in line. Obama had 4 campaigns going (none of which were of his creation, but were created FOR him by people with intense hatred of George Bush – George Soros (MoveOn.Org) poured millions into that organization that technelogically stacked the fraudulent caucuses and brought the throngs of people; the DNC’s behind-the-scenes-campaign began at least by 2007 – Pelosi helped with securing the venture capitalist fundraising company in her district and Dean contributed the 50-state strategy plus the geek that found the caucus loophole in the law; and finally, the Chicago-based campaign of Axelrod, Plouffe, and Gibbs (the car of clowns that Larry refers to) that took the credit for all of the above – AS IF!

Is it any wonder that people are puzzled by his “brilliant”, slick, campaign and this group of Chicago idiots trying to govern this country. Neither Obama nor the Chicago gang had anything to do with the other 3 campaigns other than trying to look coordinated.

I can’t help but think that the news is only “real time” and not a collective viewing of the whole, in todays world…
The one dimensional nature of what passes for news is an event horizon with no connection to the past.

Carl did a job ducking the Bosnia comments and started off I thought to be somewhat less than understanding of alternative media impacts such a Altnet radio , blogs, by saying the media is not “Monolithic”.
On this I disagree with him.

Carl knows what an “echo chamber” is, how it works and who is in the first chair of the string and horn sections… First hand.

I am paraphrasing, but when Mr. Berstien says, “the the truth is the best rendition of the facts as they are known”. This not the case most of the time. (or Plato would not have a cave.)

Thanks.

The major networks and newspapers have still never acknowledged their shameful role in pushing to invade Iraq. Why should they apologize for their atrocious behavior during the elections? Paula asked some great questions of Bernstein, and he just danced around them.

and I didn’t mean to be critical about the “flip the bird” thing, b/c I absolutely agree that he did that and it was outlandish. I am just volunteering another example that is very hard to debate. But that caller was fantastic.

Thank you all for being aggressive with him!

Even though Hillary exaggerated the Bosnia story when she said she was “ducking bullets”, the truth of the matter remains that she was in a war zone and there were helicopters circling looking for snipers and they did take evasive actions when they landed and the reception on the tarmac was cut short because of the dangerous situation. See http://www.npr.org/blogs/news/2008/03/clinton_trip_official_says_bos_1.html

To the contrary, I can’t forget BO’s recitation how he had visited all 57 states of the union and that he was conceived in Selma 4 years after he was born and that his uncle “liberated” Auschwitz. These fairy tales were never relentlessly questioned nor mercilessly scrutinized by the media like Hillary’s statements were.
And as for BO’s finger flipping Hillary and John McCain. No one can argue that neither Hillary nor McCain would have been given a free pass on that like BO was given.
BO is a totally disgusting and dishonest person. All crass. No class.

What about all the money Obama’s campaign (or George Soros) poured into, or promised in advance to the Super Delegates, who Pelosi and Reid told to get on board for Obama (bet it was before the end of the primaries). How do some of the Dem Party’s elected officials live with themselves these days? Or, are they still drunk on the Kool-Aid?

After someone ties on a big drunk, isn’t there a hangover? (Even on Kool-Aid?)
