Here’s Paul Krugman, on camera, on Geithner’s “toxic assets” plan, announced Monday: “This is something they can do without legislation. They found a way that they can in effect put the public on the hook for a TRILLION DOLLARS for this stuff without actually getting any approval.” It can be done through the FDIC and [...]

I have zero compassion for them. Anyone who supported Obama after March 2008 is clearly either a delusional Obama cultist or a head in the sand idiot. This one is on you.
You had better more experienced choices, say Senator Joe Biden. You had better more principled candidates who live their convictions, say Representative Dennis [...]

I just heard on Fox News that Obama today is attacking John McCain for advocating the privatization of Social Security. Oh the irony. I keep asking everyone to read RonK Seattle’s investigative reports on the policy positions of Barack Obama’s economic advisers. You may read all of RonK Seattle’s diaries published at Daily Kos or [...]

We know what to do. Our donations and phone calls will make the difference. Let’s go! (And thanks to C.S. for the clip.)
Go get ‘em, Hillary! Leading in the national polls again! (See video.)
You’re a fighter, and that’s one of your character traits that I most admire, besides the fact that you’ve thought [...]

Los Angeles Times, March 31, 2008:
[Elizabeth] Edwards said she favored Hillary Rodham Clinton’s healthcare plan over Barack Obama’s.
“Sen. Clinton’s plan is a great plan” that closely resembles John Edwards’ proposal, she said. Clinton’s plan mandates that every American be insured. Elizabeth Edwards said only universal healthcare would resolve one of the problems plaguing the healthcare [...]

Paul, honestly, always with the economy. Always with the who’s-got-the-better-health-care-and-economic-stimulus-plans, not to mention whose economic advisers tilt precipitously to the right. Dude!
You’re puttin’ me on a bum trip, Paul, with that but-he’s-less-progressive-and-his-plans-are-weaker. I know you’re the rare professor with scuffed-up shoes from actually walking with both feet on the ground. But, hey [...]

Fact-checking the debate and the “bamboozler“:
UPDATE: Factcheck - Sen. Obama’s Iraq War Record
In 2004, Sen. Obama said he didn’t know how he would have voted on the Iraq War resolution.
‘When asked about Senators Kerry and Edwards’ votes on the Iraq war, Obama said, “I’m not privy to Senate intelligence reports,’ Mr. Obama said. ‘What would [...]

“Shame on you, Barack Obama!” Hillary Clinton lowers the boom on Obama’s phony speechifying in which he says one thing at his big rallies, and then launches odious, anti-Democratic-party attacks — ATTACKS on universal health care. She really goes at him. Good for you, Hillary! (Taylor Marsh has plenty to say [...]

From “Don’t Rerun That ’70s Show,” NYT op-ed columnist and economist Paul Krugman, February 22, 2008 — the conclusion:
[E]ven if the next president is a Democrat, any serious stimulus plan would face intense, ideologically motivated opposition in Congress. Will the next president be prepared to fight for an effective plan? Or will we end up [...]

From The Economist print edition, via Mark Halperin’s Time magazine The Page blog (essential daily reading for me):
It is time for America to evaluate Obama the potential president, not Obama the phenomenon
… Although Mr Obama’s slogan “Yes We Can” has been turned into a pop video, the theme of his campaign echoes the Clintons’ old [...]

This quote will air tonight at 9:36 pm est. on BLOOMBERG TELEVISION’s “Money & Politics.” The quote is from the “Dollars and Sense” segment with Gene Sperling and Kevin Hassett:
The fact is that Obama’s [economic] plan today is the most shameless piece of potential plagiarism that I have ever seen. He basically took Clinton’s [...]

(H/T to Taylor Marsh’s “Welcome to The Show.“)
Before the Saturday caucus — from which my nurses and I were disenfranchised — I was furious to see Obama TV ads promising health care for all. Only Hillary’s plan brings universal care that requires all sign up or retain a plan, to make it economically viable (ex: [...]

In Thursday’s debate — as he did in previous debates for which Edwards excorciated him — Barack Obama defended the failure of his health plan to cover 15 million people. Obama thinks that giving Americans a CHOICE is superior to a mandated plan. Below are experts’ must-read opinions on why Obama’s thinking is so flawed.
First, [...]

UPDATE x1: Today’s ad featuring RFK Jr. as well as the son of the late Cesar Chavez, on the “voiceless” and how “Hillary has inherited his father’s legacy of speaking up for the disenfranchised.” “Hillary knows how to solve our problems, to get things done,” says Cesar L. Chavez. (CNN Ticker)

“[The A.P.] reported that Sen. Obama could have ‘a pretty good debate‘ with himself: “If he wanted, the Barack Obama of today could have a pretty good debate with the Barack Obama of yesterday.” — The Fact Hub

Here’s what Elizabeth Edwards had to say, via CBS [...]

Obama is trying to divert attention 1) from his stinging loss in New Hampshire, and 2) from his inadequacies as a presidential candidate, mostly his cluelessness about what he’d actually do if he were president — most recently, about what he’d do to stimulate the economy.
“He speaks with so much passion, but I’m not sure [...]

I’ve become increasingly concerned about the embellishments, the falsely slanted re-writings of newspaper accounts, and the smears coming from Barack Obama and his campaign.
Here’s Annenberg Political Fact Check.org on “Obama’s Creative Clippings: Selective, embellished and out-of-context quotes from newspapers pump up Obama’s health plan.”
Obama’s ad touting his health care plan quotes phrases from newspaper [...]

(That image is snipped from ABC News’s image.) How low Republican can you go than to advertise on Drudge, the rightwing’s hatchet man? Right along with Obama’s ad, is a photo that is blatantly sexist and disgusting (more below the fold). [UPDATE: Taylor Marsh writes, "To contrast this news, I want to draw everyone's [...]

In “Barack Obama’s nouvelle vague,” Salon’s Walter Shapiro interviews an Iowan who says, “‘[A]fter hearing Obama today, I’m in awe‘.” Shapiro himself says, “We know he’s a ‘hope monger’, but the rest of Obama’s unconventional message is elusive.” Most of Obama’s support comes from the very young, 40% from independents, and 5% from Republicans. (Taylor [...]

Obama’s new health care commercial, running in Iowa, “misrepresents some newspaper assessments of the Illinois Democrat’s proposal,” reveals a careful analysis in the WaPo, “Incomplete Picture in New Obama Health Care Ad.” Here are a couple examples:
The ad says the Obama plan “guarantees coverage for all Americans.” But the on-screen citation — from the [...]
