I'm glad Obama knows exactly who he is.
BTW, I also envy how quickly you tend to buy into any spin that erupts out of the White House on such a regular basis. :-)

Romeo, heh, yep, bring up Rezko or Obama's pastor when you've got nothing of substance to bash him for.
America will be far, fgar better off under President Obama.
Clinton knows her luck is running out (she lost Joe Andrew and only gained 3 SuperD's this week compared to Obama scoring 8, and last time I checked, Obama is only 19 or so behind her).
And where's John McWho?

"Defection of longtime superdelegate jolts Clinton" - this looks like it will be the beginning of the end for Clinton and divorcee flip-flopper McCain.

redacted - "It was an article of faith on the Left that CNN helped "BushCo" steal the 2000 election."
Um. that's still not going to stop the Republican party you so ardently support from being totally buried in Novemeber.
Romeo - "Heh, 1,008 out of what, 300,000,000? If anyone believes that number represents the masses, they are fooling themselves."
But Romeo, most of your countrymen bought into Bush's lies about the WMD. What makes you think they won't believe the polls? :-)

News Just In:
[www.cnn.com] "Bush disapproval rating highest on record - "A new poll suggests President Bush is the most unpopular president in modern American history. The CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey indicates that 71 percent of the American public disapprove of how Bush is handling his job."
ha ha ha!! This proves all us 'Lefties' were right all along!! LOL!
This is awesome news for the Democratic party and will make it even easier for Obama to walk into the Oval Office as President come Janauary 2009.

I'm loving this - every minute of it.
Obama looks set to get the Democratic party nod, and then he'll be up against a geriatric divorcee who can't seem to decide whether he is for or against Bush's tax cuts, or whether he is for fighting climate change or for implementing a gas tax holiday which will...um...go directly against his claim to fight climate change.
And McCain supporters like redacted and SuperLib must still be smarting that their only man left standing wasn't even their 1st, 2nd, or 3rd choice for Republican candidate.
Bring. It. On!

Sorry, that came out wrong. -
redacted - "but I do enjoy the effect he has on the America-obsessed."
Heh, they must be the ones on the same side as the 70-odd% of your own people.
Why do intelligent people like you continue to lock yourselves into the ever shrinking minority?

Errhhrr.. how many innocent lives did Clinton's escapade in Bosnia take?

Zaphod - problem is that some people look at the war in Iraq as if it is occurring in a fish bowl, without looking at the fuller picture, which, unfortunately includes the faultering U.S. economy.
What would you rather have - a small scale civil war in the ME, or a U.S. economy in depression that will affect the entire global economy??

"Iraq bloodshed in April kills 1,073"
And the lives of more American troops, thanks in no small part to the hollow, armchair bravado of the armchair generals on JT who still support the failed war.

"She said what is important now is “how the president would describe the fight today. It’s been a very tough month in Iraq, but we are taking the fight to the enemy.”"
The President has been describing the fight for 5 long years and it's still not working. In fact, he has botched his descriptions - not to mention strategy - of the fight so badly that more than 70% of Americans believe their country is on the "wrong track" in Iraq.
But at least Americans can rest assured that their Government is "taking the fight to the enemy" while simultaneously enriching oil industry fat cats, emboldening the enemy in Iraq, Iran, Syria, North Korea, China and Russia, and vaporizing any money that could be used for Americans' futures, schools, education, health programs and Social Security at the burn rate of $12-15 billion a month for negligible return to ordinary hard-working Americans at home.
Oh, and burning out America's middle class.
Mission Accomplished!

redacted - "They repeatedly blocked environmentally safe exploration in ANWR."
I can't believe you can actually put up Presidential mumbo jumbo like this on JT and expect to be taken seriously.
You're actually implying here that words from your Prsident's lips might bear even a semblance of truth or reality.
That, between you and me, is freaking hilarious!

The solution to this horrible trend, of course, is for the Government to conduct another study.....

Wow, this is so sad.
"The child’s father was at work when the murder occurred."
My wife gave birth 2 months ago and I'm taking paternity leave (mornings), primarily so my wife and I can share child-raising tasks (partly so she doesn't get overly stressed and snap, like the woman in this article did), and (selfishly :-) so I can actually be there to watch our daughter grow.
I can't imagine why the above Mum didn't talk about her frustrations with her hubby, but I think a big part of the reason why more and more attacks and murders like this are happening in Japan IS because Dads are usually working nutjob hours and Mums are getting stressed out to the hilt, in no small part because hubby just isn't there.
Add to that the ongoing pressure to conform and fit in, and a whole host of other reasons.
If anyone is interested, I've never been happier, & marital relations have never been better.
Moral? IF you (as a Dad) can get time at home after a kiddo is born - DO IT.
For everyone's sake.

frontandcentre - good post.

We've heard all this boring 'your country' stuff many, many times before.
Can you come up with something original for a change? Thanks :-)

vor - "If you truly are concerned with the Iraqi people...."
You see the funny thing is, the people who say things like this really don't give a toss about ordinary Iraqis.
They only say they do to cover the fact that every other argument and justification they have for wanting America to remain in Iraq has been totally nuked.
redacted - "Condi Rice is in his kitchen and laughing at him. She called him a coward."
Intriguingly, that's almost as "brave" as you are, perched behind your PC, bravely firing off "patriotic" posts from behind a bold and daring handle name. LOL!

redacted - "foreign observers of our Great Experiment"
Last week you near nuked your credibility by implying climate change wasn't much of a threat.
Today, you label an uncalled for war in which close on a million, probably more, innocent people have been killed or had their lives ruined, a "Great Experiment"?
No doubt you'll next claim America had some kind of "moral authority" to "free" Iraqis...
Hole, stop digging, you probably get my drift.
