The other day Sen. Barack Obama urged his supporters to get in people's faces. Today, we get reports that his No. 2 is following his lead. The Obama campaign was hoping to reintroduce Mr. Biden this week as running mate attack dog. But his penchant for verbal rambling ensured that much of the attention he […]
Last week, I pointed out that the Boston Globe had seemingly retracted 8-year-old reporting on Sen. John McCain's physical disabilities due to wounds suffered at the hands of the North Vietnamese in order not to contradict a new ad by Sen. Barack Obama's campaign portraying McCain as a luddite. Well, the pattern is repeating itself […]
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 […]
