Sen. Barack Obama gave the following orders to his footsoldiers yesterday in Nevada. In Elko, Obama tried to anticipate his critics and called on the crowd of about 1,500 to sharpen their elbows, too. "I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk […]
Michelle Obama has some advice for voters. Michelle Obama says voters need to decide this election by examining the issues, not because they like a candidate or think "she's cute." Obama spoke in Charlotte on Thursday morning at a women's round-table on economic issues. The crowd roared at her remark disparaging voters who might cast […]
Here's a couple of Internet ads that take on Barack Obama's opposition to the Illinois Born-Alive Infant Protection Act. Beware, this second one has a brief shot of an aborted child -- for the record, you've probably seen far worse on those unfortunate posters that certain overzealous abortion opponents wield. Frankly, I have a hard […]
If your only glimpse into journalism was the Drew Barrymore movie "Never Been Kissed," then you'd probably buy Barack Obama's resume inflation exercise. In the movie, Barrymore's character is a copy editor with her own office and an assistant. In real life, copy editors don't. Likewise, Sen. Barack Obama tried to make his work as […]
On Friday, the typical political bad news document dump day, the Obama campaign released the last 10 years of Sen. Joe Biden's tax returns. The documents reveal once again that Democrats see philanthropic giving as paying your taxes -- and little more. Biden's adjusted gross income never dropped below $200k and he never gave more […]
Chuck Graham is a state senator. I'm not sure which state he's a senator in, but he's obviously an Obama backer and you know he's got faith in Obama. Faith in Obama's running mate? Maybe not so much. Doesn't Biden know that Obama is the only one, once elected, who can make the waters recede, […]
Commentary Magazine's Jennifer Rubin lists some of the blunders that have put Obama's campaign in the situation it finds itself in today: Reneging on his public financing promise: Had he not done that, he might have saved his New Politics reputation and avoided his current money woes. Going on the Magical Mystery Tour: Had he […]
A few days ago I made the following observation regarding Gov. Sarah Palin's "troopergate" scandal. The real vetting question should be: Why couldn’t this reform-minded governor get a guy who shouldn’t be a lawman fired? Today, Mike Gravel agrees with me. "Troopergate" is going to come out in [Palin's] favor when they really get down […]
The Wall Street Journal is keeping score on judges, and the numbers put to the lie the Democrats' promise to treat Bush's nominees like Clinton's were treated -- only better. The promise: In a letter to us in June, Mr. Reid said Senate Democrats would "treat President Bush's judicial nominees with more respect than President […]
Fox News last night aired the first part of Bill O'Reilly's interview of Sen. Barack Obama. It's probably the toughest interview Obama's had to face and, while he keeps his composure, he's less than honest. As recently as July, the Democratic presidential candidate declined to rate the surge a success, but said it had helped […]
