As you know no doubt know, Obama just took his first big trip abroad as president … to Ottawa. That got me to thinking - it has been almost a year since Canadian TV reported that Obama’s aide, Austan Goolsbee, was assuring Canada that NAFTA was safe and sound, despite Obama’s campaign promises to [...]

Commentary magazine’s Abe Greenwald writes about the “Coming Rift” in the Democratic Party. There’s some interesting stuff here, but I’d say — wouldn’t you? — that he is actually months late. But no matter.
Greenwald talks about how the netroots that helped propel Obama to the White House may be feeling betrayed by [...]

We first learned who was behind Obama and his inspiring speeches months ago. Those very speeches that excited the crowds, and drew people in. Those very speeches that many people voted for. Despite the fact that he ever really said anything more than just *hope* and *change*, people saw JFK, MLK and RFK all rolled [...]

Susan’s Update: ABC News’s Jake Tapper, in today’s post, “Obama is Smokin’” — uh huh, there are suspicions — concludes with this:
I don’t like feeling that I wasn’t being dealt with honestly [about if he's smoking or not]. …
This isn’t the only time I’ve felt that way about the Obama campaign, of course — its [...]

Vetting our two Democratic presidential candidates has definitely been a mixed bag. On one hand, Hillary Clinton’s life and political history has been in the news and reported online for many years. Barack Obama is another deal. He has essentially gotten a free ride in the national media, only being questioned seriously [...]

[See Part I.]
While Barack Obama has resurrected his now-infamous “bamboozling” line that he exploited in South Carolina — this time today in Mississippi — Hillary Clinton’s press team has produced two top-notch press releases today that 1) hit Barack Obama’s vote for Dick Cheney’s energy bill and 2) Obama’s fifth waffling excuse for NAFTA-gate.
“You [...]

UPDATES: MSNBC video above (sans her far more important remarks to the BBC about Obama’s real Iraq policy) and story (which also fails to mention Power’s comments on Iraq). Below the fold, video of Power’s remarks on Iraq, and Facthub rebuttals. Hillary says, ““I think Senator Obama did the right thing but I think it [...]

UPDATE: Canadian commentators on CTV have a good chuckle over Barack Obama and his panderbear Bob Shrum who made comments on Obama’s behalf on Sunday’s Meet The Press. They also do some fact-telling on NAFTA.
(Uh, is Shrum a paid operative these days, or just trying out for a job?)
ORIGINAL STORY:Along with Newsday and [...]

Okay, he did it a bunch of times … but hey, no big deal.
Like I keep saying, it’s no wonder that generals and admirals are rallying to Hillary Clinton. This twit must scare the bejeezus out of them. (”Michelle my belle, where did you put the football?! Oh there it is…. now, which button [...]

Can we finally dispense with the nonsense that Barack Obama represents a “new” and “different” type of political candidate? The dust up over the Canadian TV report that an advisor of Barack Obama’s did the old Monty Python, “wink, wink, nudge, nudge” with respect to NAFTA (reportedly signaling to the Canadians that he did [...]

UPDATES:
Here’s a new video, via a reader at TaylorMarsh.com, with a shake of editorial pepper.
(And check out Taylor’s article … “The video above is an example of the trouble Obama could be heading into. Getting caught in double speak, when the truth doesn’t back you up.”)
The original is from a Cleveland TV station.

UPDATE: At the conclusion, there’s now a fully sourced timeline of Obama’s denials of this meeting, now obliterated by the emergence of the Canadian diplomats’ memorandum distributed widely to Canadian officials — and now in the hands not only of the A.P. but CNN’s John Roberts, who waved a copy as he reported the story [...]

UPDATE: “The facts of our story are accurate.” - Greg McIsaac, Communications Manager, News Information and Current Affairs, CTV (Taylor Marsh has the report in “CTV Stands by NAFTA Story.” Besides, this is a first-rate national news organization that wouldn’t go with an off-record story that wasn’t solidly vetted.)

Must-see VIDEO UPDATE (second video update below the fold):
A Canadian medical professional (no more to protect anonymity) reports to me: “This story made headlines tonight in Canada in all major Canadian news networks. Barack Obama has been caught lying. Spread this as much as you can because it is true and factually supported. [...]
