"President Obama would do well to make one of his first initiatives the removal of the 'race' column from all official documents"
You have no idea how humorous that is to American eyes.
Yeah, the Affirmative Action President himself is gonna smash the scaffolding that got him to the top. LOL. Made my day.

"Given you predicted McCain would be 20 points ahead by the end of September I'm not sure what your predictions are worth."
I don't recall predicting McCain would be up by 20. I don't put much faith in polls.
"Obama's unflappable nature in the face of unforeseen events may indeed serve him well as president."
We know too little of Obama to describe him as "unflappable".
Better you go with something like 'Obama's handlers were able to reframe their candidate's indifference to the economic meltdown as poise' or 'Senator Obama calculated that if he could conceal his glee over the F Mae and F Mac debacle he knew he would win from the openly partisan press unmerited praise like being called "unflappable." '

The Party of the Rich wants socialism. It's like watching medieval flagellants mortify themselves in the vain hope of relieving guilt and gaining favor with an imaginary diety.

"The trouble is that the Democrats pretty much wore that issue out. Obama prevailed. The baseless charge didn't stick then and it's not going to stick now."
After Jan 21 it will be all too apparent that Obama lacks qualifications to be president and C in C. Even VP Biden concedes as much.

'Rational' to an Islamic supremacist means that the infidel in question is someone they believe agrees with them.

Biden is now less accessible to the media (and Joe the Plumber types) than Palin ever has been.
Odd for a ticket that supposedly has it wrapped up.

In the end all we know is that that the Iranian gov't hates George Bush and his party. "All they have is their hatred."
Why, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the mullahs and the jihadis running imperialist Iran even refuse to capitalize the names of their American and Israeli enemies :)

Canadian-American SNL producer Lorne Michael's on Sarah Palin's SNL appearance.
"I think Palin will continue to be underestimated for a while. I watched the way she connected with people, and she's powerful. Her politics aren't my politics. But you can see that she's a very powerful, very disciplined, incredibly gracious woman. This was her first time out and she's had a huge impact.
"People connect to her. . . I think she could have her own show, yeah."

"All this stuff about Obama and the socialist inclinations of the people he's associated with? No one cares."
I don't write to change minds;nor do I find that anyone here will change mine.
I just want to be on record with certain facts about the man when you lot start whining (around March 09 or so) that Obama is not who you thought he was.

People are starting to say Biden is a Rove plant. I've never been one for conspiracy but it did get me thinking...

"Readers will note that the New Party was never communist."
Your're right, I wrote communist. They were socialist. Explain to the Dems here why they should be, uh, reassured by the diff.
Alice Palmer was identified by US authorities, like Obama's mentor and friend Frank Marshall Davis, as a communist.
"Problems Facing Our Socialism" , an article from an old copy of the East Africa journal for you to read and enjoy, written by Obama's biological father:
http://www.politico.com/static/PPM41_eastafrica.html
There's lots more at the link below:
"The Honolulu Record was founded and edited from 1948-58 by Koji Ariyoshi a Smith Act defendant and Communist Party member who worked with Mao Zedong in China during WW2. It was financed by payments from all Hawaii ILWU locals.The Record played an integral role in the transformation of organized labor into political power resulting in the Democrats' takeover of the Hawaii territorial legislature."
"Two years after the Record folded, the Dunhams [Obama's mother's family ] arrived in Honolulu. They quickly became friends with Frank Marshall Davis. Stanley Ann Dunham met Barack Obama Sr in a Russian language class at the University of Hawai`i."

"I was there. I was there when he lost to Bobby Rush. You don't care anything about the truth so this is one of the few responses I care to make."
Go on, refute me:
Alice Palmer was a communist. Frank Marshall Davis is 'Frank' in Obama's book. He was a communist. Obama was once a member of the New Party (communist). Obama's mother and biological father were socialists.Even in recent interviews Ayers has described himself as a 'small c' communist.
It's not a 'neo-McCarthy thing' with those of us who bring this up.
Ex-commie David Horowitz put it best:Communism is the philosophy of losers.

Canadian authorities randomly abuse people of all nationalities and religion affiliation.
If these fellows don't like things in Canada, they should move to Quebec.

"Now you want to question his political capabilities just because he learned how to advance quickly in the system that most people are willing to admit was disadvantageous to a black man. "
Cue the violins...
" In fact I saw a special on PBS that it is very poor etiquette to try to enter the Chicago political scene without having been "sent" by someone."
Frank Marshall Davis ring any bells?
He is in Obama's (probably ghostwritten) memoirs. He was a father figure and mentor to Obama in Hawaii. Originally from Chicago. Lifelong communist. That's all Obama had to say to failed terrorists like Ayers or sentimental old commies like Alice Palmer.

Hillary supporters are saying it sounds like Biden was talking about re-instating a draft when he spoke in Seattle the other day and said Obama will be tested within his first six months by foreign powers inimical to the US:
Biden said: " . . .we’re gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.”

"McCain questions Obama's readiness in a crisis"
So does his running mate Biden.
Apparently, being telegenic and close friends with Oprah isn't enough to deter the nutters in Iran or Syria.

Tip of the iceberg.
Air Canada used the 'indirect' excuse last time luggage for my Osaka via Vancouver flight returned from some place called Yellowknife after obviously having been tortured.

"You mean for unwed mothers who discover there are no resources to help them juggle the multiple responsibilities others encouraged them to take on? "
What outrages your thoroughly predictable 'liberal' pieties the most - her decision to wed, an 18 y.o. carrying her child to term, or the existence of even a single independent family raising strong, independent children?
