Maybe what happened in the last 2 days with Wright turning on Obama is just Axelrod's "chickens coming home to roost"!!I have long said that Obama is just the pawn in Axelrod's and the corrupt Chicago political machine's plan to take their lucrative game from the streets of Chicago to the halls of the white house. Blagojewich was their first choice, but when he became involved with the FBI's probe into the Rezko indictment, Obama got pulled off the bench as their second choice. He was groomed by them. Read Evelyn Pringle's expose' on scoop.com on Obama's rise in Chicago politics. Both fascinating AND frightening! Obama made all the wrong choices, from which law firm to work at, where to begin his political career, which pastor/church to choose, the friends/associations he has chosen, even who to marry. Is he so elitist that he thought he would never be found out??? That no one should ever question HIM??? But of all his wrong choices, the "wrongest" was WRIGHT!!!

Senator Clinton does a much better job in debates that Obama does and I believe that is numero uno reason he is refusing any further debates. His supporters went OFF on ABC so successfully that Katie Couric wasn't going to ask ANYTHING remotely off topic ... Katie has her own creds to worry about don't you think? Charlie Gibson had to school him on capitol gains taxes for goodness sake ... I think that Axlerod is doing everything possible to keep his client on script. Off of it, he looks lackluster and, well, human and inexperienced. Certainly not polished or wonkish ... but, hey, if people like an empty black suit, who am I to question it? Perhaps they secretly <strong><em>want</em></strong> President McCain? Actually, I am glad you raised this.

We deserve better, and we need to hear more about the issues that actually matter to Americans at this rough moment in our national history. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/27/opinion/27edwards.html <blockquote> Well, the rancor of the campaign was covered. The amount of money spent was covered. But in Pennsylvania, as in the rest of the country this political season, the information about the candidates’ priorities, policies and principles — information that voters will need to choose the next president — too often did not make the cut. After having spent more than a year on the campaign trail with my husband, John Edwards, I’m not surprised. Why? Here’s my guess: The vigorous press that was deemed an essential part of democracy at our country’s inception is now consigned to smaller venues, to the Internet and, in the mainstream media, to occasional articles. I am not suggesting that every journalist for a mainstream media outlet is neglecting his or her duties to the public. And I know that serious newspapers and magazines run analytical articles, and public television broadcasts longer, more probing segments. But I am saying that every analysis that is shortened, every corner that is cut, moves us further away from the truth until what is left is the Cliffs Notes of the news, or what I call strobe-light journalism, in which the outlines are accurate enough but we cannot really see the whole picture.</blockquote> I would invite all of you to read Elizabeth Edwards’ excellent op-ed in tis weekend’s Times as an antidote to the issue-free character of this and other blogs that focus consistently on the controversy du jour and relentless picking-over of campaign strategies.

I watched the same thing and was struck with the love fest they are trying to play up now -- Obama be different. He won't go negative. He'll just scratch his nose with his middle finger for laughs.
