I have to admit, his stance that we need to quit wasting so much energy before thinking of drilling for even more kind of scares me into thinking this stuff is real and I'd have to bus more. If I were him, I'd be getting tired of nobody really caring by now, and so many of us being just so much lip service in the end. Without <a href="http://www.mindfully.org/Reform/2008/Obama-Money-Cartel21feb08.htm" rel="nofollow"> this kind of money</a>, he'll probably be completely ignored, except for an insult here or there by the MSM, unless, like Obama, he can show them what's in it for them. "It's so important to stop the Republicans", whether or not Obama is any better (and he's starting to sound worse, actually. Who is he going to bomb or not, or really support or not anyway, because it seems to move around?). We ignored the warning signs tht 911 was going to be abused. I hope we don't ignore the one that the Democrats are no different than the Republicans this year, in terms of corruption and lies, so limiting my options to only "Bush Lite" or "Bush Dark" would be truly wasting my vote this time, since I don't believe in either one of them right now. The Democratic party would probably be OK with just the <i>perception</i> of cleaning up politics, and Obama takes the cake in misperceptions and technicalities.

It's kind of like rich kids on a street corner asking for money. There are poor people who do need help, but when rich guys get charity, it really gets amazing. So we have two theories: 1: Obama severed his special interest realationships that got him this far, and hired all these lobbyists who quit their full time lobbying jobs in order to help him raise money in ways that have nothing to do with special interests, far outside their specialties, or... 2: Obama hired a bunch of lobbyist in order to raise money and creatively get around the system, so he could say he didn't take a dime. <strong>Either answer requires you to use your reasoning and imagination, so which is the hokum's razor edge of this one?</strong> It is a good demonstration that if you can funnel the resources of grass-root supporters into your system, and add that to corporate lobbyist financing, you have gobs and gobs of money.

That's the worst type of politics. Obamabots are following in the foot steps of the Bushies. They will live to regret it when the truth comes out. I hope McCain will keep it real to attract the reality-based voters. It’s the same old story: The Emperor has no clothes on, but his syncophants will insist he’s magnificently dressed.

I wonder if he'll follow up on it. He was "congratulating" Obama on last night's show ... for making a "good start" to cleaning up the lobbying. But it's ironic, isn't it.... and very, very like Obama ... to use a back door system of raising money and then trashing the system once he has what he wants. After all, what will he do once he's finished being "President"? Emperor of the Universe. No, his road is paved with people and systems he's used to get where he wants to be.

Interesting, I think that Juan Williams may have at least heard about the tape...he advises obama to give another speech for "apologizing for falling victim to the hatred, and using race baiting as a vehicle". This is the speech that would trump anything coming out on a tape by michelle, but to make that speech now he would have to admit that he has used race for political gain. He won't do that, it will blow his cover. Obamazits want the tape out now so they can minimize the damage, try to spin in, try to discount it, hell, throw michelle under the bus.
