<p>I don't usually post dumb stuff like this BUT this is too dumb to pass up.  Also, readers should note that the little tyke started in the rap game at the ripe age of eleven, dropped out of his gifted and talented school at fourteen, and became a father at sixteen.  Lil' Wayne, the syrup sipping rapper du jour, is allegedly spittin' knowledge.  According to Lil' Wayne the world is about end.  <a href="http://www.livesteez.com/news/news_detail/661" target="_blank">Here's why</a>.  Looks like the <a href="http://wordpress.com/tag/negro-mafia/" target="_blank">Negro Mafia</a> done got them a fresh recruit.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Even if the Democratic National Committee decides to uphold the election results from Michigan and Florida it is virtually impossible for Hillary Clinton to capture the nomination.</p>
<p>If the last five contests vote the way the latest polls indicate and Michigan and Florida counts then Hillary Clinton will have 2,010 delegates and Barack Obama will have 2,118 delegates.</p>
<p>That means the remaining superdelgates will have to break 86% for Clinton for her to capture the nomination. Considering that fact that she now trails in the superdelegates department this seems about at likely as George W. Bush calling for an immediate withdraw from Iraq...Barack Obama on the other hand will only need 40% of the remaining super delegates.</p>
<p>It's over Hillary face it.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Obama_hits_back_at_Bush_over_0516.html" target="_blank"><strong>Raw Story:</strong></a></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">Senator Barack Obama hit back at President Bush today during a speech in Watertown, South Dakota for "dishonest and divisive" comments made by the president in Israel, which inferred that the presumed Democratic presidential nominee's calls for talks with Iranian officials resembled appeasement with the enemy.</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">"The president did something that presidents don't do," Obama said, charging that Bush's words targeted other Democrats, as well. "He said that we were appeasers no different than those that appeased Adolf Hitler."</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">"That's exactly the kind of appalling attack that's divided our country and alienates us from the rest of the world," Obama added, before taking aim at McCain also for also "embracing Bush's comments."</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">Obama said, "That's the kind of hypocrisy that we've been seeing in our foreign policy, the kind of fear-peddling, fear mongering that has prevented us from actually making us safer," adding that McCain had a "naive and irresponsible belief that tough talk from Washington will somehow cause Iran to give up it's nuclear program and support for terrorism.</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">Obama also blasted McCain for linking him to Hamas, and noted that he has never called for talks with Hamas leaders, while the Republican presidential candidate once had. The Illinois senator challenged Bush and McCain to take him on anytime on the question of patriotism, and noted the Iraq war's effect on the global war on terror.</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">"If George Bush and John McCain want to have a debate on protecting America, that's a debate I'll be glad to have happen," Obama said.</p>

<description><![CDATA[In the wake of President Bush&#8217;s bizarre attempt to equate Barack Obama and Nazi appeaser Charl]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the wake of President Bush's bizarre attempt to equate Barack Obama and Nazi appeaser Charles Lindberg in front of the Israeli Knesset, comes another fantasist review.  This time it's about the future rather than the past.  John McCain <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/16/us/politics/16mccain.html">made a speech </a>yesterday in Columbus, Ohio that contained some real whoppers about the state of the world in 2013, four years into a McCain presidency ...</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><em><span style="color:#333399;"><img class="alignleft" style="float:left;" src="http://www.thewashingtonnote.com/archives/a%20happy%20mccain%20twn.jpg" alt="" width="214" height="255" />“By January 2013, America has welcomed home most of the servicemen and women who have sacrificed terribly so that America might be secure in her freedom.  The Iraq war has been won. Iraq is a functioning democracy, although still suffering from the lingering effects of decades of tyranny and centuries of sectarian tension. Violence still occurs, but it is spasmodic and much reduced.”</span></em></p>
<p>Here are some other predictions put forward by the Republican Nostradamus in that same speech (this is real, no kidding. Just say the word "check" after each as you go down the list)...</p>
<ul>
<li>Osama bin Laden - captured or killed</li>
<li>Reduced influence of Taliban in Afghanistan</li>
<li>Al Queda, though still alive, will have no "safe haven"</li>
<li>The economy will be "fixed," including several years of "robust economic growth"</li>
<li>Improved U.S. public education system</li>
<li>More accessible health care</li>
<li>The "Southern border" will be secure and illegal immigrants will be arrested and deported</li>
</ul>
<p>Through an inside source within the McCain camp, <strong>we at the PW were able to obtain a copy of some of the notes that were</strong> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">edited out of that speech</span>.</strong>  Also, according to McCain, in the year 2013 ...</p>
<ul>
<li>Upon his arrest, Osama bin Laden will own up to other "crimes against the United States," including backing Rudy Guiliani's failed 2008 and 2012 bids for president and 2011's upteenth "Rocky" remake.  He takes no responsiblity for Chuck Norris, however.</li>
<li>Having been reduced to a few guys with hand-me-down Disney T-shirts given to them by Halliburton workers, the Taliban will reform as a regional soccer team and compete in the World Cup</li>
<li>McCain's healthcare plan, which is heavily dependent on his "apple a day" prescription, will not only provide apple growers with windfall profits the oil companies would be jealous of, all leftover apples will be used as the keystone of McCain's teacher incentive program in his wildly successful Education initiative</li>
<li>McCain's "chicken in every pot" economic plan will be a boon to both chicken farmers and marijuana growers alike</li>
<li>Having secured the Southern border and arrested and deported all 5 million illegal immigrants, there will be huge demand for Canadian nannies, gardeners and Burrito makers resulting in the "10-day Taco War" with our neighbor to the North</li>
<li><img class="alignright" style="float:right;" src="http://pastviews.net/history/maroni_temple.jpg" alt="" width="160" height="204" />McCain will be so ecstatic about the successes of his administration, he will choose to voluntarily step down after his re-election, making his VP Mitt Romney president. Upon hearing of this miraculous transition, the angel Maroni will descend from the Heavens once again and prove to the world all of the articles of the Mormon faith are indeed true.  The nation's capital will move from D.C. to Salt Lake City and Donny Osmond will be named Vice President.</li>
<li>Oh, and the presidency of George W. Bush will be held up as a beacon for future presidents.  Plans begin for carving his face on Mount Rushmore have already begun.</li>
</ul>

<p>[cnn-video-link image=http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2008/images/05/16/play.obama.jpg caption="Sen. Barack Obama fires back after President Bush likened talking with Hamas to negotiating with Hitler." width=283 height=159 link=http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2008/05/16/obama.hamas.response.cnn]</p>
<p>Hey bloggers,</p>
<p>Yesterday we told you about comments President Bush made in a speech to Israel’s parliament. The president compared calls to talk with unnamed terrorist groups a 'foolish delusion.' (<a href="http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2008/images/05/16/play.obama.jpg" target="_blank">read more here</a>)</p>
<p>Well today, Obama fired back.</p>
<p>Sen. Barack Obama slammed President Bush for launching "exactly the kind of appalling attack that's divided our country and that alienates us from the world."</p>
<p>Speaking at a campaign stop in Watertown, South Dakota, Obama also lambasted Sen. John McCain for "embracing" the president's "attacks on Democrats," and "suggesting that I wasn't fit to protect this nation that I love."</p>
<p>"So much for civility," Obama said, noting that McCain had talked about the need for civility in politics earlier Thursday.</p>
<p>he went on:<br />
<!--more--></p>
<blockquote>
<div><span style="color:#000000;">"After almost eight years, I did not think I could be surprised about anything that George Bush says, but I was wrong..."</span> </div>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">"I have been adamant about not negotiating with Hamas, a terrorist organization that has vowed to destroy Israel and won't recognize them."</span></p>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><br />
"If George Bush and John McCain want to have a debate about protecting the United States <span style="color:#000000;">of America, that is a debate that I'm happy to have any time, any place, and that is debate I will win because George Bush and John Mccain have a lot to answer for" </span></span></div>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">"...The president did something that presidents don't do. That is launch a political attack targeted toward the domestic market in front of a foreign<br />
delegation,"</span></p></blockquote>
<p>So what do you think? I have included a <a href="http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2008/05/16/obama.hamas.response.cnn" target="_blank">clip of the Sen. Obama's speech</a>…</p>
<p>Please share your thoughts</p>

<p style="text-align:left;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>"Where have i been?", </strong>is the question that i was forced to ask myself recently when i came across the above video. Obviously, the <strong>Obama Girl video</strong> has been around since mid-2007 and has received over 10,000,000 hits on Youtube.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">I thought it was a unique, funny and a nice viral marketing tool for the entrepreneur (forgot his name) behind all of this.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Something to watch for those who had missed on it like i did.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://popgumbo.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/fuckbush.jpg"><img src="http://popgumbo.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/fuckbush.jpg" alt="" width="278" height="289" align="left" /></a>George "25 percent approval rating" Bush was passive aggressively attacking Barack Obama yesterday.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/05/15/bush.dems/index.html" target="_blank">CNN.com</a> wrote,</p>
<p>At Israel's 60th anniversary celebration in Jerusalem, Bush said, “Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along,” Mr Bush told the Knesset in Israel. “We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: ‘Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided’.”</p>
<p>Although Dubbya did not say Obama's name, we all knew who he was talking about.</p>
<p>No worries though, Joseph Biden the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee held it down, telling reporters, "This is bulls**t. This is malarkey. This is outrageous. Outrageous for the president of the United States to go to a foreign country, sit in the Knesset ... and make this kind of ridiculous statement." He went on to say "He's the guy who's weakened us. He's the guy that's increased the number of terrorists in the world. His policies have produced this vulnerability the United States has."</p>
<p>You know it's bad when you got white folks cursing on record.</p>
<p><strong>Bush listen up:</strong> For someone who doesn't have the mental capacity to work the fry line at Chic Fillet, it boggles me as to why you have the audacity to be talking about "grown folks" stuff like foreign policy. Here's a coloring book, now go sit at the kiddie table and keep Barack's name out of your mouth.</p>
<p>Republicans are so desperate to hold on to power that they will say anything and make up anything in order to invoke fear in Americans. It's really sad. But like Dukakis said, Barack is going to have to prepare himself because this type of GOP political lynching is only the beginning.</p>
<p>Watch, next week Fox News' <em>Hannity &#38; Colmes</em> will label Barack's youngest daughter a  racial separatist because they have a tape of her playing double dutch with other black girls at school? I can hear it now: "Where are her white friends? This behavior resembles that of Italian fascists! Is that the type of family you want in the White House?"</p>
<p>Rumor is Barack is going to address Bush's statements. When he is done with Bush, Bush's face is going to  look as beat as Hillary's was on Super Tuesday when she realized that maybe she shouldn't have spent all of her money so soon.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/15/washington/15cnd-farm.html">Defying President Bush, Senate Passes Farm Bill - New York Times</a></p>
<p>I could have sworn that <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Obama</span> mentioned the farm bill as shall I say one of the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected">accomplishments</span> that he supported. The status of B<span class="blsp-spelling-error">arack</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Obama</span> during the farm vote was absent <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected">according</span> to this <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected">New</span>York Times article.  Obama waxed hard about his support of the rural folks through the passage of this bill, how they deserved it, how great they were etc. and HE WAS NOT EVEN THERE.  These are the antics that Momma Michelle had to deal with when he had to pay off a million ticket that he had gotten at least fifteen years ago when he was attending Harvard Law School.   They were paid just before he ran for office. Teenage College lies and untruths or lets just say truthiness.</p>
<p>The other issue surrounding Barack Obama is that he used the word sweeie.  This is not as irritating as the fact that the media keeps giving us crotch shots of barack and focusing on his behind.  "Enough Already"</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://larrysinclair0926.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/s-fierce-michelle-obama-large.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-289" src="http://larrysinclair0926.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/s-fierce-michelle-obama-large.jpg?w=260" alt="" width="260" height="190" /></a> Barack Obama campaign spokesperson suggests people have the "COURAGE" to address Barack Obama "directly instead of attacking his family"</p>
<p>Get real already, Barack Obama does not have the courage to respond to being addressed directly, I have been addressing this man directly for months now, what does Obama do?  He employs internet warriors to attack my mother, brother, sister, ex-step-mother and even my deceased father. Or he has you murdered to keep his little secrets.  Barack Obama, through his spokesperson cries about his family being attacked, yet people representing him call a private citizens family members whores and scum etc....</p>
<p>The below comment was made by Obama spokesperson Hari Sevugan.  Mr. Sevugan, people in glass houses should not throw stones.  Barack Obama and Michelle Obama have done nothing but attack people and peoples families who do not kiss their asses.  Maybe if Michelle wasn't so damn bitter she could get some from Barack instead of having to play third and fourth string to Nick and Reggie.</p>
<p><strong><em>“This is a shameful attempt to attack a woman who has repeatedly said she wouldn’t be here without the opportunities and blessings of this nation,” Obama spokesman Hari Sevugan said in a statement. “And if the Tennessee Republican Party has a problem with Senator Obama, maybe next time they’ll have the courage to address him directly instead of attacking his family.”</em></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://larrysinclair0926.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/nick_colvin.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-274" src="http://larrysinclair0926.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/nick_colvin.jpg?w=230" alt="" width="230" height="152" /></a> Nicholas Colvin, Obama's First String</p>
<p>   <a href="http://larrysinclair0926.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/r-love.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-288" src="http://larrysinclair0926.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/r-love.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="205" height="172" /></a> Reggie Love,(the one lying down being tea bagged) Obama's second String</p>
<p>Oh Hari, the above seem to have been serving Senator Obama on a much more regular schedule than Michelle, no wonder she is such a bitter evil bitch. Hey, what can I say, Barack loves to have his tea bags tossed, maybe Michelle just never got good at it.</p>
<p>But do not worry bout the Family attacks that Michelle and Barack make through supporters and surrogates, because the below video will let you know who we are, what we are, and we are here to stay.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">WE ARE FAMILY</h2>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">YOU AND MICHELLE ARE LIARS AND FRAUDS </h3>

<p>It has taken me awhile to frame a response to Cindy McCain and the rest of the conservative cabal about their misappropriation of Michelle Obama's comments regarding her American pride. </p>
<p>However, the great voters of West Virginia have done me the favor of providing a <a href="http://www.livesteez.com/videos/watch/nvYkHm9">visual and priceless commentary</a>.  After watching the video it may be easy to understand why she made these comments back in February.  Unfortunately, the GOP in Tennessee is <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/05/15/michelle.tennessee/index.html" target="_blank">airing a four minute commercial</a> taking Michelle to task over the comments she made back in February. </p>
<p>Michelle Obama told an audience of supporters, "For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country, because it feels like hope is making a comeback. Not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change."</p>
<p> After <a href="http://www.livesteez.com/videos/watch/nvYkHm9" target="_blank">watching the video </a>and maybe reflecting on our great American society's past and present <a href="http://whiteprivilege.com/" target="_blank">race problems</a> one may understand the true meaning of her words.</p>
<p>Also, aren't the code words interesting?</p>
<p><strong>Hard working class white Americans = Rednecks</strong></p>
<p><strong>Muslim = Niggers</strong></p>
<p><strong>Un-American = Non-white</strong></p>
<p><strong>Un-patriotic = Non-white</strong></p>
<p><strong>Able to sing Star Spangled Banner = White American</strong></p>
<p><strong>Can say the Pledge of Allegiance = White American</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://patriotroom.com/?p=352#comment-648">The Patriot Room</a> is become a favorite stop. He has a link to info that places Michelle Obama hating on "whitey" at Trinity Church. Looks like the GOP will have a shot after all. Explains her earlier statements to wanting to <a href="http://hayhurstforamerica.wordpress.com/2008/05/06/michelle-obama-i-want-to-rip-his-eyes-out/">rip out Bill Clinton's Eyes.<br />
</a></p>
<blockquote><p>According to Jim Geraghty at <a href="http://campaignspot.nationalreview.com/post/?q=ZjA5MDY3YmJiNDRhZWZiNGU4MDA4ODRmYmI5OGMzNDg=">The Campaign Spot</a>, Larry Johnson is a Hillary supporter.  So the following from Johnson’s blog, <a href="http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/05/15/will-barack-throw-mama-from-the-train/">No Quarter USA</a> is, happily, blue on blue fire.</p>
<blockquote><p>I now have it from two three sources close to senior Republicans that they have video dynamite–Michelle Obama railing against “whitey” at Jeremiah Wright’s church. Republicans may have a lousy record when it comes to the economy and the management of the war in Iraq, but they are hell on wheels when it comes to opposition research. Someone took the chance and started reviewing the recordings from services at Jeremiah Wright’s United Church of Christ. Holy smoke!! I am told there is a clip that is being held for the fall to drop at the appropriate time. The last thing Barack and Michelle need is a new clip that raises further questions about her judgment and temperament.</p></blockquote>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Tuesday, Hillary Clinton <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&#38;sid=ankKaKOOT1K8&#38;refer=home">won </a>the primary in West Virginia but it didn't seem to matter. For whatever it's worth at this stage, John Edwards gave his long-awaited <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/washingtondc/la-na-campaign15-2008may15,0,2998660.story">endorsement </a>to Barack Obama, as did the abortion rights group NARAL, adding to the air of inevitability around Obama. If you're thinking, "poor, poor Hillary," Libby Copeland at the Washington Post finds that you are apparently <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/15/AR2008051504058.html?hpid=topnews">not alone.</a> It can't help that the postmortems have started on her campaign, including <a href="http://www.tnr.com/politics/story.html?id=f7a4a380-c4a4-4f84-b653-f252e8569915">this interesting one</a> in which Michelle Cottle at the New Republic gets Clinton staffers to reflect on what went wrong.</p>
<p>Cottle catches this interesting moment of self-awareness from some unnamed Clinton staffer:</p>
<p>"The way we handled you guys was a mistake on our part. What we're hearing is that we truly treated people badly and weren't accessible enough or open enough. We had bad relationships with reporters, and it probably bit us on the ass."</p>
<p>Uh, yeah. The "i don't like your question so I'll just cut off the conversation or email exchange" school of media relations is probably not the best approach. Though I also think press relations were among the least significant factors in the outcome of the campaign.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sorry, Sen. Clinton. Michigan and Florida can't save your campaign.</p>

<p>Interviews with those considering how to handle the two states' banished convention delegates found little interest in the former first lady's best-case scenario. Her position, part of a formidable comeback challenge, is that all the delegates be seated in accordance with their disputed primaries.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/0CS8SKfXUbg'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/0CS8SKfXUbg&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>And even if they were, it wouldn't erase Barack Obama's growing lead in delegates over Hillary Rodham Clinton.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yahoo Headline from the Wall Street Journal today: Hillary to Boring to be President. Dammit, why didn't I see that? Of course she is too boring. Bill was not boring back in the day, but there hasn't been one boyfriend or girlfriend, one indicted crony, or one crazy minister. No early coke habit to make he seem cool. Even Michelle Obama is more interesting than Bill has been lately.</p>
<p>Her endorsments include some of the most boring people on the planet, while Obama has stars like Tom Hanks and Bruce Springsteen. He even has an Obamagirl, but there is no Hillboy. I mean, how is Ed Rendell going to hold up to a girl in a thong!</p>
<p>So as I was tossing back a bottle of very fine scotch last night, it came to me that I was old and stodgy. Scotch, not vodka, for crying out loud. Vodka is the sexy drink. Isn't there one named for Obama? Absoluama or something?</p>
<p>OK, here is typical Hillary endorsement: <a href="http://www.hillaryclinton.com/news/release/view/?id=7583"><span style="color:#36578c;">President of Northern Cheyenne Tribe in Montana Endorses Hillary Clinton for President</span></a>. Now that's pretty cool, an American Indian. But wait, Indians live in poverty and just thinking about their lives is a downer.</p>
<p>But look: <em>a wave of artists as disparate as </em><a title="The Grateful Dead" href="http://www.mahalo.com/The_Grateful_Dead"><span style="color:#21771b;"><em>The Grateful Dead</em></span></a><em>, </em><a title="Will.i.am" href="http://www.mahalo.com/Will.i.am"><span style="color:#21771b;"><em>Will.i.am</em></span></a><em>, </em><a title="OK Go" href="http://www.mahalo.com/OK_Go"><span style="color:#21771b;"><em>OK Go</em></span></a><em> and members of </em><a title="Pearl Jam" href="http://www.mahalo.com/Pearl_Jam"><span style="color:#21771b;"><em>Pearl Jam</em></span></a><em> are rallying support for Democratic presidential nominee </em><a title="Barack Obama" href="http://www.mahalo.com/Barack_Obama"><span style="color:#21771b;"><em>Barack Obama</em></span></a><em>."</em> Billboard.com</p>
<p>So although I am now officially independent and divorced from the Democratic Party, I am beginning to see why Clinton cannot become president. Who wants to hear about policy? Elizabeth Edwards came out and said Hillary Clinton's health care policy was better than Barack Obama's. But John endorsed Obama because he knows those policies don't mean snot.</p>
<p>So here are some of Hillary's Endorsements:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hillaryclinton.com/news/release/view/?id=7666"><span style="color:#36578c;">Congressman Ciro Rodriguez Endorses Hillary Clinton For President</span></a>  </p>
<p><a href="http://www.hillaryclinton.com/news/release/view/?id=7596"><span style="color:#36578c;">Former West Virginia Governor Hulett Smith Endorses Hillary Clinton for President</span></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.hillaryclinton.com/news/release/view/?id=7365"><span style="color:#36578c;">North Carolina Governor Mike Easley Endorses Hillary for President</span></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.hillaryclinton.com/news/release/view/?id=6753"><span style="color:#36578c;">Liberty City Democratic Club Endorses Hillary Clinton</span></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.hillaryclinton.com/news/release/view/?id=5584"><span style="color:#36578c;">California Rep. Maxine Waters Endorses Clinton</span></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.hillaryclinton.com/news/release/view/?id=5736"><span style="color:#36578c;">Actor Jack Nicholson Endorses Hillary Clinton for President</span></a> (OK, he's a biggie)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hillaryclinton.com/news/release/view/?id=5589"><span style="color:#36578c;">Former Navajo Chairman and First President of the Navajo Nation Peterson Zah Endorses Hillary Clinton for President</span></a> (see, depressing again...)</p>
<p>I mean there are hundreds of them, all like this. Go to her website: <a href="http://www.hillaryclinton.com/news/endorsements/">http://www.hillaryclinton.com/news/endorsements/</a> Miss Indiana stands out like a sore thumb.</p>
<p>Now compare these to Obama's and I am sure you will readily agree he is The One:</p>

<p><strong><em>RETARD </em></strong><br />
<strong><em></em></strong><br />
You know there was a name that I found <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected">particularly</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected">offensive</span> when I was a youngster and luckily it was never applied to me but my mother who is a teacher told me that it was a short term name used to describe special education students at the time. I suppose some child overheard this term being used and decided to bring it to the table of insults that children participate in. At this moment I am teaching myself a new skill for my business and apparently awaiting another news conference <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected">because</span> <strong><span class="blsp-spelling-error">Barack</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Obama</span> </strong>and his cult of followers have <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected">perceived</span> that he has been called a NAME by the Texas Talking president of the United States who I might add no one can ever forget how the fellow Texan Ann Richards <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected">murmured</span> the words that Bush Senior walks around with the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected">proverbial</span> foot in his mouth. This was at a democratic convention and I think elder bush was a sitting President at the time. Fortunately for us Elder Bush did not think it needed a news conference. In addition has anyone ever seen the cartoon Little Bush, well fortunately their is not a news <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected">conference</span> after every <strong><em>statement</em></strong>, <strong><em>or </em></strong>even episode of Lil Bush. "THANK GOD"</p>
<p>Finally, if the statement was referring to anyone it was probably President Carter who had met with <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Hammas</span>, with according to President Bush Jr. no luck. As for <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Obama</span> is he a SPED or something. I have never seen such codling in my life? Has he never been insulted before? The one thing I can say about the Republican Debate, it was funny. The one think I can say about the Republican race was it was a high stakes game with winner take all, there was no <span class="blsp-spelling-error">moddle</span> coddling here. You won or you lost. Evidently <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Barack</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Obama</span> is not used to these types of competitions, he's crying already. However even he is taking it to far to start crying over something where h is name was not even mentioned directly. What is he a <span class="blsp-spelling-error">punk</span> or something, or even worst a SPED. I guess not, I guess he's not a sped otherwise his momma Michelle <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Obama</span> would be giving him the news conference then again she probably will write the <span class="blsp-spelling-error">speech</span> and <span class="blsp-spelling-error">carRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL</span> tell him what to say. However, she just <span class="blsp-spelling-error">could</span> not hide the fact that she's making the decision for Vice Presidential running mate. LITTLE MOMMA take care of the BOY !</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a rumor bopping around on the blogs that the GOP is holding a tape of Michelle Obama "railing against whitey" at Jeremiah Wright's United Church of Christ. The story is that they are holding it for the fall should Obama be the nominee.</p>
<p>Now there is a lot of this kind of stuff out there on the blogs, but this one scares me because it seems plausible (though it also seems plausible as a nasty scare tactic by the Clinton camp). Therefore, I am on my knees praying that if this tape exists, if Barack and Michelle Obama know that she did this, they will drop out now. NOW! Before it costs us what is shaping up to be a landslide.</p>
<p>I love Obama, but not at the expense of the election.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;" align="center"><strong></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <strong><span style="font-size:22pt;color:#000080;font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';">USW</span></strong><strong><span style="font-size:22pt;font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';"> <span style="color:#000080;">Endorses Senator Barack Obama </span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><em><span style="font-size:14pt;color:#000080;font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';">Join John Edwards in Growing Wave of Support</span></em></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';"> </span><span style="font-family:'Arial','sans-serif'&#60;">Our Union today issued the following statement of endorsement of Senator Barack Obama for President:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';">“When the presidential primary contests began last year, our Union felt strongly that because of Senator John Edwards’s deep commitment to working people and because of our shared beliefs, he deserved our strong endorsement. His belief that unfair trade policies must be changed, his commitment to pass the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) to restore workers’ rights to freely choose workplace representation, and his proposal for universal health care were widely shared by our members.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';">“Today, by virtue of a unanimous vote of our International Executive Board, we find ourselves once again in agreement with Senator Edwards, this time with his decision last evening to endorse Senator Barack Obama. And thus today, the United Steelworkers enthusiastically endorses Senator Barack Obama to be the next President of the United States. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';">“Senator Obama’s call for a significant change of direction amounts to far more than a compelling rallying cry. It is buttressed by his record of consistent support for workers, by his call for sweeping changes to our health care system, by his unflinching support for Employee Free Choice, and by his insistence that America’s trade policies must, first and foremost, serve the interests of America’s working families.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';">“Senator Obama has shown his commitment to working families by proposing significant investments in the future of American manufacturing, in the revitalization of our nation’s infrastructure, and in 21<sup>st</sup> century clean energy technologies that will lead to significant growth in domestic jobs. He is clearly the candidate who can best lead our nation out of the dark period of economic decline created by the Bush administration’s allegiance to Wall Street profiteering at the expense of worker prosperity. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';">“We share Senator Obama’s call for significant changes to these bankrupt policies, just as we earlier shared Senator Edwards’ And all of us, including we hope Senator Clinton for whom we have the utmost respect, must now do everything we can to ensure that Barack Obama is the next President of the United States. Now is the time for contention and division to cease, and for us to unite behind the changes for which Senator Obama and our members are calling. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';">“America’s workers cannot afford another four years of rehashed Bush administration policies, another four years in which the National Labor Relations Board shills for corporate misconduct, or another four years of a Secretary of the Treasury who considers it his “job” to bail out Wall Street speculators at the expense of hard working families losing their homes.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';">“Nor can those of us who are committed to changing the direction of the country afford any more racial profiling of an election, when either Democratic candidate would be far superior to Senator McCain’s lock-step commitment to four more years of the broken Bush economy and the broken Bush foreign policies.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';">“We are proud and honored to join Senator Edwards in endorsing Senator Barack Obama to be the next President of the United States. We commit ourselves to working tirelessly for his election and for a new age of cooperation among Democrats, Independents and thoughtful Republicans alike in which working Americans are restored to a place of dignity in society and in the American economy.”</span></p>

Although the majority of 2nd District Democrats cast their vote for presidential can]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By: Brian Sikma</p>
<p>Although the <a href="http://www.in.gov/apps/sos/primary/sos_primary08?page=district&#38;countyID=-1&#38;partyID=-1&#38;officeID=36&#38;districtID=937&#38;districtshortviewID=937&#38;candidate"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">majority of 2nd District Democrats</span></span></a> cast their vote for presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, today Rep. Joe Donnelly (D-IN02) announced that as a Democratic party super-delegate he would be supporting Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.</p>
<p>Rep. Donnelly made his announcement via a press release from his official congressional office. Although Donnelly has been emphasizing lately in the local press that he is only interested in working on district issues while he's in Washington, apparently he's very much interested in fulfilling party obligations while on taxpayer time. Also of interest is the fact that Donnelly chose to endorse Sen. Obama only <em>after</em> he received $7,500 in <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/expenddetail.php?cycle=2006&#38;cmte=C00409052&#38;name=Joe+Donnelly+for+Congress"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">campaign</span></span></a> <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/pacs.php?cycle=2008&#38;cid=N00026586&#38;sector=Q&#38;seclong=Ideology%2FSingle-Issue&#38;cat=Q03&#38;induslong=Leadership+PACs"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">contributions</span></span></a> from the Hope Fund PAC run by Obama.</p>
<p>Donnelly cited Obama's ability to build "bipartisan majorities" and his work for affordable health care as some of the reasons behind his endorsement. It does appear that Sen. Obama will have a difficult task building bipartisan majorities since he was rated as the most liberal member of the United States Senate by <a href="http://nj.nationaljournal.com/voteratings/"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">National Journal</span></span></a> and has received accolades from some of the most liberal groups in American politics.</p>
<p>Joe Donnelly's support for Sen. Obama's nationalized health care proposal illustrates the choice that 2nd District voters will face this fall. Canada, Germany, and other nations have nationalized their health care systems with disastrous results. The only people who win in a government controlled health care system are the bureaucrats.  Standing in contrast to these proven policies of failure is <a href="http://www.puckett08.com/">Luke Puckett</a>, the Republican candidate running against Joe Donnelly.  Puckett is advocating for a market based solution to the rising cost of health care, a solution that puts consumers first and unleashes the ingenuity of the American people in a way that Barack Obama and Joe Donnelly seem to fear.</p>
