2008 Presidential

In May, Barack Obama said he had visited 57 states in America, and the mainstream media were largely disinterested. On Sunday, the presumptive Democrat presidential nominee added another to the growing list of united states:Eau Claire [Wisconsin] is a big important state.I kid you not (video embedded below the fold):

ABC's George Stephanopoulos clearly had John McCain's houses on his mind Sunday, for during the latest installment of "This Week," the presumptive Republican presidential nominee's real estate holdings were discussed with every guest.What Stephanopoulos may not have expected was Time's Mark Halperin claiming that "this is going to end up being one of the worst moments in the entire campaign for…

The Friday evening version of Joe Biden's Wikipedia entry remains firmly ensconced in a Firefox tab on my desktop, so it can be compared to its current form as Obama-Biden's busy bees brush it up. I'm doing comparisons as time allows, and there isn't much of it at the moment. One thing is quickly obvious -- a section heading for a whole year has disappeared: Amazing. Where did 2004 go? You'll…

UPDATED with video at end of post.n case you missed it with the Olympics going on, Russia invading Georgia, and the campaign for president in full swing, pop star Madonna started her much-awaited tour in Wales Saturday.Amidst the requisite autoerotic writhing and gyrating, Madonna managed to bash John McCain -- actually equating him to Adolf Hitler and Robert Mugabe! -- while comparing Barack…

While mainstream media members do a collective standing ovation for presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama's choice for his running mate, something seems desperately wrong with their reports. After all, they're supposed to be the great supporters of women's issues and equal rights.This obvious hypocrisy has gone largely unnoticed as liberal reporter after liberal reporter jumped…

I'm starting to wonder if Barack Obama and Joe Biden drank a little champagne to celebrate their partnership before speaking to the crowd Saturday in Springfield, Illinois.First, Obama introduced his running mate as "The next president." Then, Biden -- maybe over-compensating for his desire not to call the junior senator from Illinois "Osama" -- actually called him "Barack America!"I kid you not…

Hailing Barack Obama's attacks on John McCain's foreign policy as “profound” with “the fire I've been waiting for,” during live MSNBC coverage Saturday afternoon of Obama introducing running mate Joe Biden, Chris Matthews was pleased “he finally took on John McCain on the issue of our time, which is Russia” as “he used the word bluster twice.” Matthews then smeared John McCain and conservatives…

Presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama has positioned himself as the champion of the poor and all those that can't afford health insurance.Maybe he should direct his efforts to the hospital his wife Michelle works for, as it appears the University of Chicago Medical Center "steers patients who don't have private insurance -- primarily poor, black people -- to other health care…

Here's something you don't see every day: an Associated Press writer actually publishing something negative about a Democrat...let alone one named Obama.But, there it was Saturday, with a headline even more curious: "Analysis: Biden Pick Shows Lack of Confidence." The Obamessiah lacks confidence? Such wrote Ron Fournier (emphasis added, photo courtesy AP):

The liberals have already come up with their excuse for why Barack Obama might lose the election in November. It wouldn't be because of his inexperience, poor judgement, or far left political views. No, the real reason according to Slate's Jacob Weisberg is racism. The proposition is put in the title of his article, "If Obama Loses," with his answer given in the subtitle, "Racism is the Only…

Well, well. The portion of Joe Biden's Wikipedia entry relating to his 1988 presidential campaign has been worked over a bit. Specifics relating to his undergraduate grades have strangely disappeared. There are other subtle changes as well.Comparison pics are after the jump.
