Gates Joins Buffett Chorus to Tax the Rich More

Stupid remarks...

Bill Gates (richest American) noted “taxes are going to have to go up” and thus he’d prefer that they “go up more on the rich than everyone else. That’s just justice. There needs to be “a sense of shared sacrifice,” he said, adding, “right now, I don’t feel like people like myself are paying as much as we should.”

President Obama’s First 100 Days News Conference

The first three months of the Obama Admin­is­tra­tion have brought the new Amer­i­can Pres­i­dent unprece­dented chal­lenges. Back in Novem­ber, when he was elected, every­one knew the econ­omy and the Mid­dle East would be crit­i­cal issues for Obama to attack early on. But like every pres­i­dent before him, he’s had to deal with the unex­pected as well: who could have pre­dicted pirates off the Somali Coast or swine flu? […]

America Reboots as G.O.P. Relegates Itself to Landfill

Only a moronic cleric in denial could con­fuse the recent seis­mic shift in Amer­i­can pol­i­tics with sim­ply a dif­fer­ent polit­i­cal per­spec­tive of the future. Not to be too intim­i­dat­ing to those that were on the out­go­ing GOP tide – ’Oba­mat­ics’ brings to the table aggres­sive and proac­tive relief to many mil­lions of truly suf­fer­ing Amer­i­cans that the Repub­li­cans sim­ply ignored over the past 8 years. A vio­lent rev­o­lu­tion in the streets was thwarted, but a cat­a­clysmic sea of change is gain­ing the momen­tum of a roar­ing loco­mo­tive fully loaded and rac­ing downhill.

Karl Rove’s Deceptive McCain Debate Strategy Backfires+Palin Not Qualified by 60%

If there ever was a topic McCain was sup­pose to com­mand in the Pres­i­den­tial debates was For­eign Pol­icy and McCain could not close the deal in the first debate with Barack Obama . This was McCain’s best shot at scor­ing sig­nif­i­cant points with Inde­pen­dent vot­ers with his huge advan­tage of 26 years in Con­gress (21 of those years in Sen­ate), but he some­how found a way to miss the oppor­tu­nity!

Political Theater-​Obama Nominated by Acclamation by Clinton

Well the drama of polit­i­cal the­ater unfolded that we haven’t seen in a while, as the roll call vote for Barack Obama’s Demo­c­ra­tic Party nom­i­na­tion, state after state hon­ored Clinton’s bid for the White House. Some states yield unan­i­mous votes by their del­e­ga­tion for Barack Obama… even some of those states were won by Clin­ton, until they got to New Mex­ico where there were by every­one count enough votes for the nom­i­na­tion to have the win­ning del­e­gate count — but after much polit­i­cal fan­fare New Mex­ico yielded to the state of Illi­nois where every­one thought that would be the appro­pri­ate end by cast­ing the win­ning votes to break the del­e­gate bar­rier for the nom­i­na­tion. Not to be. […]

NBC Nightly News Interview">Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — NBC Nightly News Interview

No doubt Pres­i­dent Bush and his entire Neo­Con White House, as well as the stu­pen­dous GOP affa­ble mouth­pieces Bill O’Reilly, Rush Lim­baugh and Sean Hag­gerty would rather be dead, than be caught talk­ing with sin­cere civil­ity to sus­pected ene­mies of the state (one of the rea­sons the United States failed uni­lat­eral for­eign pol­icy has been so detri­men­tal to world­wide sta­bil­ity), and the same failed U.S. poli­cies that are so dia­met­ri­cally counter/​opposed to Barack Obama’s U.S. + the world part­ner­ship in which his recent Berlin speech clearly proposed.

Obama's Berlin Speech Video-Transcript-Analysis

berlin-tiergarten70.jpg

Barack Obama deliv­ered a major for­eign pol­icy speech in 30-​minutes to 200,000 enthu­si­as­tic onlook­ers and sup­port­ers at the base of the “Vic­tory Col­umn” — the Siegess√§ule in the mid­dle of a round­about called the Grosser Stern in the Tier­garten Park — Berlin’s sprawl­ing park in the cen­ter of the city. When a reporter asked the sen­a­tor if he con­sid­ered the address a cam­paign event, he said with a puz­zled look: “As opposed to?” “It’s not a polit­i­cal rally,” he added. “Hope­fully, it will be viewed as a sub­stan­tive, artic­u­la­tion of the rela­tion­ship I’d like to see between the United States and Europe.

Antoin “Tony” Rezko, the 52 year old real estate devel­oper, owner of sev­eral Papa Murphy’s Pizza fran­chises as well as sev­eral Panda Express Fran­chises and promi­nent Chicago fund raiser for Sen­a­tor. Barack Obama was con­victed (after a nine-​week trial), on 16 of 24 counts of fraud and money laun­der­ing. The charges carry a max­i­mum sen­tence of life in prison. The trail con­cen­trated on kick­backs and bribes (shake­downs), pros­e­cu­tors said Rezko arranged when he was a top adviser to Illi­nois Gov­er­nor Blago­je­vich. Rezko was also con­sid­ered a top fundraiser for Illi­nois Gov­er­nor Rod Blagojevich

AGAIN — video!">Obama’s Inappropriate Chicago Church fringe strikes AGAIN — video!

I’m white, I’m enti­tled. Baited and slick’s’ slick because this pas­tor is Cau­casian just dar­ing racism folly. One would think Barack Obama would learn who he asso­ciates with run­ning for Pres­i­dent and all – NO way! What we see is what we get. I can hear the African Amer­i­can com­men­ta­tors now chal­leng­ing any­one that has any opin­ion diss­ing the holier than thou Obama. If these shenani­gans went on and orig­i­nated from a Cau­casian can­di­date toward blacks – there would be riot­ing in the black neigh­bor­hoods across America.

Jeremiah Wright Demands Race and Privilege are the Central Obama Campaign Issues

Attacks on him are really attacks on the black church, claims the Rev. Jere­miah A. Wright Jr. in a speech to the National Press Club in Wash­ing­ton, D.C. Mon­day. Wright con­tin­ued his rail­ing against any­one who ques­tions his ser­mons as unpa­tri­otic. This issue sur­faces at the worst pos­si­ble time for the African Amer­i­can Pres­i­den­tial hope­ful fol­low­ing Obama’s glo­ri­fied lec­ture to the Amer­i­can Peo­ple on race try­ing to save his cam­paign and explain away his 20+ years of close rela­tion­ship with Pas­tor Jere­miah Wright, while denounc­ing Pas­tor Wright’s remarks.
