Obama Softens on Iraq Withdrawal Timeline

clipper's remarks: So the naive Senator is learning that things aren't as easy to "change" as his rhetoric once suggested. Funny how a little more information about a subject and a closer step to the Presidency can make a person realize that things are different in the real world verses the campaign world.

Obama Softens on Iraq Withdrawal Timeline

Sen. Barack Obama left open the possibility of slowing his promised, 16-month withdrawal of combat forces from Iraq, saying he would consult with military commanders on an upcoming trip to the region to ensure a withdrawal would keep troops safe and Iraq stable.

during his hard-fought primary fight with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, he stuck to a timeline that foresaw withdrawing one to two combat brigades from Iraq a month.

clipper's remarks: All those years the public believed the Media and it's protection of Bill Clinton. The man apparently had charisma but no core strength. His persona was *created. I never would have voted for Hillary but she is a cut above her husband and even Obama. Hint, hint....how a person is portrayed by the Media & that person's handlers may not be who that person really is....beware of *created* candidates who conform outwardly but are vile and petty on the inside.

BUBBA THE BABY

APPARENTLY, crippling his wife's campaign wasn't enough for Bill Clinton:

Sen. Clinton's been dutifully supporting the winner, her husband reportedly told friends that Obama could "kiss my ass"

reports have suggested that he's "miffed" about how Obama treated him and believes that Obama's campaign cast him as a racist. He wants an apology.

Clinton chose - in the most spectacular way possible - to put his own desires ahead of his nation, his party and his family when he had an affair with an intern and then lied to his closest aides and the American people about it. Then, for good measure, he lied under oath.

Hillary has always been the rock.

It's her husband who'd never have made it without her.

Clinton took the first step toward rapprochement - a phone call that Obama graciously called "terrific." No word on who placed the call.

Behind the Michelle Rumor

clipper's remarks: I heard about this today. Rush & other's got blamed for spreading the rumor but the clip used to target Rush as the instigator was a clipped portion where he was describing the advancing of rumor itself. Talk about dirty tricks!

This guy goes up in my book for laying the blame where it belongs and not using it to further the deception.

Campbell's remarks were pretty revealing though.

CNN’s Roland Martin: ‘Idiot Democrats’ Behind Michelle Obama Rumor

CNN contributor Roland Martin, a known Barack Obama sympathizer, surprisingly isn’t buying the argument that conservatives/Republicans are behind the rumored Michelle Obama "whitey" comment.

we can't blame Republicans for everything. It's these idiot Democrats that started some of this stuff."

When Brown asked what he meant by that, Martin dropped the names of two Hillary Clinton supporters: "[Y]ou had Larry Johnson, a Clinton supporter, who put this whole rumor out of this so-called tape where she used ‘whitey.’ It doesn't even exist. And then you had Bob Beckel, Democratic strategist, who goes on Fox, and he floats the rumor as well. Democrats are shooting themselves in the foot. They can't put this one on conservatives. They started that particular one."

Hillary Makes Obama�s VP Short List

Barack Obama and his advisers have begun the process of vetting vice presidential running mates, and Hillary Clinton and several former military leaders have landed on the soon-to-be Democratic nominee�s list of 20 potential candidates.

Clinton, Obama�s rival during the primary contests, reportedly made the cut by building an energetic coalition of support among women, working-class voters and Hispanics in her unsuccessful bid for the party�s nomination, and, according to Obama, �would be on anybody's short list.

CHICAGO (CBS) ― Father Michael Pfleger will return to the pulpit at St. Sabina Catholic Church on June 16, after Cardinal Francis George forced him to take a leave of absence over controversial comments about U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton.

"I have asked Father Michael Pfleger, Pastor of St. Sabina's Parish, to step back from his obligations there," the cardinal said in a statement on Tuesday, "and take leave for a couple of weeks from his pastoral duties."

Parishioners said Sunday morning that they have been told Pfleger will return to the church on June 16 on the grounds that he can not discuss politics.

Officials say Fla., Mich. delegates will get half-votes

Democratic Party officials agreed Saturday to seat Michigan and Florida delegates with half-votes,

Ickes angrily informed the party's Rules Committee that Clinton had instructed him to reserve her right to appeal the matter to the Democrats' credentials committee,

let's all come together, and put our arms around each other," said Ickes, who is also a member of the Rules Committee that approved the deal.

"How can you call yourselves Democrats if you don't count the vote?"

The sticking point was Michigan, where Obama's name was not on the ballot.

The committee agreed on a compromise offered by the Michigan Democratic Party that would split the difference, allowing Clinton to take 69 delegates and Obama 59.

The crowd was divided between cheering Obama supporters and booing Clinton supporters.

"This isn't unity! Count all the votes!"

As Race Wanes, Talk of Clinton as No. 2 Grows

While Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and her advisers insist that she is determined to win the Democratic nomination, friends of the couple say that former President Bill Clinton, for one, has begun privately contemplating a different outcome for her: As Senator Barack Obama’s running mate.

Mr. Clinton’s musings surface as the Obama camp has quietly begun the process of searching for a partner on the Democratic ticket.

Both of them want to return to the White House;

Mr. Clinton, according to associates, sees the vice presidency as perhaps her best path to becoming president someday if she loses the nominating fight.

Mr. Clinton believes that his wife’s victories in major primary battles, like Ohio and Pennsylvania, and the 16 million votes cast for her candidacy make her the proper choice for Mr. Obama.

Who Is Really Responsible For the High Prices You Pay for Gasoline?

Who Is Really Responsible For The High Prices You Pay For Gasoline?

For the past 31 years, Congress repeatedly prevented us from building any new oil refineries that we now badly need.

Democrats defeated and discouraged any bill that would let us drill in the deep sea 100 miles out. However, it's somehow OK for China to drill there.

Congress, since the 1980s it has continually stopped all building of nuclear power plants while France, Germany and, yes, Japan, plus 12 other major nations, did build plants and now get 20% to 80% of their energy from their wise and safe nuclear plant investments.

Under the eight Clinton years alone, U.S. oil production declined 1,349,000 barrels per day,

It is a national disgrace that all they now know how to do is relentlessly criticize, complain and condemn. They always attempt to blame, investigate and scapegoat someone else, in this case U.S. oil companies, when Congress is the true villain of ineptness

After 2 faint, Clinton cracks joke about making 'em swoon

Former President Bill Clinton is cracking wise about his ability to make people faint, telling voters in North Carolina he didn't think he still had it in him.

Clinton was campaigning Sunday for his wife's presidential bid on a hot and sunny day in western North Carolina.

After one person fell during an event in Lenoir, Clinton joked: "Somebody faints at nearly every one of these things now. At my age, I didn't think I could make anybody faint anymore."

A young girl walked away from an earlier event in Marion after fainting.

The Democrats' Super Disaster

Until recent weeks, one of the least understood aspects of the Democrats' primary contest was the role of superdelegates. These are Democratic Party insiders, members of Congress, and other officials who can cast ballots at the party's national convention

neither Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama can win their party's nomination without superdelegate support.

Sound undemocratic? It is. That the 2008 Democratic nominee for president will be chosen by individuals no one voted for in the primaries flew for too long under the commentariat's radar. This from the party that litigated to "make every vote count" in the 2000 Florida recount, reviled the institution of the Electoral College for letting the loser of the national popular election win the presidency, and has called the Bush administration illegitimate ever since.

meet Kenneth Starr

His report on the Clinton-Lewinsky matter is a relic of that era; its descriptions of sex in the Oval Office were so graphic that it came with a warning for children to stay away, a first in the annals of such investigations.

His critics might be surprised, but Starr is neither monster nor prude. He is genial, reflective and easygoing, lighthearted even. Committed to public service, he speaks most eloquently on the notions of service and compassion. One is reminded that he is, after all, a man passed over for the Supreme Court because he was believed to be too liberal by some conservatives.

He was seriously considered for the Supreme Court when Justice William Brennan

but Starr's nomination was scotched by conservatives who feared he might be too liberal

Whatever one thinks of Starr's politics or his pursuit of Clinton, his long record as a public lawyer unmistakably suggests an advocate who has chosen service over money
