I just heard on Fox News that Obama today is attacking John McCain for advocating the privatization of Social Security. Oh the irony. I keep asking everyone to read RonK Seattle’s investigative reports on the policy positions of Barack Obama’s economic advisers. You may read all of RonK Seattle’s diaries published at Daily Kos or [...]

One of the things most disconcerting about Obama is that he is the Master of Misdirection. Like a magician who distracts you in order to pull off a trick, Obama is the opposite of who he claims to be. Here are some examples: After the Wright story broke, Obama flatly told Anderson Cooper that he [...]

Susan’s Update: ABC News’s Jake Tapper, in today’s post, “Obama is Smokin’” — uh huh, there are suspicions — concludes with this: I don’t like feeling that I wasn’t being dealt with honestly [about if he's smoking or not]. … This isn’t the only time I’ve felt that way about the Obama campaign, of course [...]

In December, Politico reported that Barack Obama had taken “unabashedly liberal positions” on a questionnaire he filled out while running for the Illinois State Senate in 1996. The premise of the article was that his “far left” positions — opposition to restrictions to abortion on demand and support for single-payer health insurance and strict gun [...]

Do you think these people, shown in this video — these salt-of-the-earth people — deserve a chance to help choose the nominee on May 20? Do you? How about you, Howard Dean? How ’bout you, Nancy Pelosi? And you, Patrick Leahy? (And who gives a damn what you think about anything anyway, Mr. Leahy.)

Vetting our two Democratic presidential candidates has definitely been a mixed bag. On one hand, Hillary Clinton’s life and political history has been in the news and reported online for many years. Barack Obama is another deal. He has essentially gotten a free ride in the national media, only being questioned seriously when the news [...]

Please visit my blog, American In Italy, and check out my links to other “ex-pat” blogs. I don’t know if you have seen all the hoopla this weekend regarding Reverend Wright, and Obama rejecting him, since most media outlets ignored it, or provided minimal coverage. But, it was a doozy. The sermons of Wright, Obama’s [...]

“Empty Promises” (a host of them):

[See Part I.] While Barack Obama has resurrected his now-infamous “bamboozling” line that he exploited in South Carolina — this time today in Mississippi — Hillary Clinton’s press team has produced two top-notch press releases today that 1) hit Barack Obama’s vote for Dick Cheney’s energy bill and 2) Obama’s fifth waffling excuse for NAFTA-gate. [...]

Larry Johnson writes that “Obama and His Advisors [Are] Not Ready for Prime Time.” Truer words, truer words — but the thing is that they ARE his primary advisers, minus the now-guillotined Samantha Power. And there’s that he needs more than the usual number of advisers because he has a tendency to push the wrong [...]

Times Square Bombing Update: Sometimes, pictures really are worth a 1,000 words: Read all of the linked items at Halperin’s blog. Here is Hillary Clinton’s statement. UPDATE: Next, here are must-read observations from a front-page story by elections expert Jerome Armstrong — “Pennsylvania Forward” at MyDD.com:

There is the “the Famous Rule of the 2008 Election – W.O.R.M. (What Obama Really Meant),” used by the media and Obama’s supplicants to explain away every hitch. However, there’s evidence the “W.O.R.M.” is turning across the national media. Besides the Newsday and the Chicago Sun-Times stories cited below, there’s the NY Daily News story [...]

UPDATE: Canadian commentators on CTV have a good chuckle over Barack Obama and his panderbear Bob Shrum who made comments on Obama’s behalf on Sunday’s Meet The Press. They also do some fact-telling on NAFTA. (Uh, is Shrum a paid operative these days, or just trying out for a job?) ORIGINAL STORY:Along with Newsday and [...]

UPDATES: Here’s a new video, via a reader at TaylorMarsh.com, with a shake of editorial pepper. (And check out Taylor’s article … “The video above is an example of the trouble Obama could be heading into. Getting caught in double speak, when the truth doesn’t back you up.”) The original is from a Cleveland TV [...]

UPDATE: At the conclusion, there’s now a fully sourced timeline of Obama’s denials of this meeting, now obliterated by the emergence of the Canadian diplomats’ memorandum distributed widely to Canadian officials — and now in the hands not only of the A.P. but CNN’s John Roberts, who waved a copy as he reported the story [...]
