I watched clips of “Crazy Uncle Jeremiah” doing his same old tricks at the National Press Club. Soon enough, Senator Obama tossed him into the cold after pledging not long ago that he could no more renounce Rev. Wright than he could turn his back on the Black community. An image popped right into my […]

From CNN’s Lou Dobbs This Week, aired April 26, 2008, with guests Diana West, Hank Sheinkopf, and Errol Louis:
“DOBBS: I have to say that what I don’t understand. … With the antipathy towards Senator Obama that has built up over the last few weeks, for the life of me, I don’t understand why the … […]

From the beginning of this campaign, Senator Obama, his campaign, and his supporters have been pushing the idea that he has the ability to unite the country and work with Republicans:
“I think it is fair to say that I believe I can bring the country together more effectively than she can,” Obama said. “I will […]

The PA primary demonstrates that the Jeremiah Wright controversy badly hurt Obama. Contrary to the finger wagging New York Times editorial, “The Low Road to Victory,” blaming Hillary for daring to wage a winning campaign in Pennsylvania, Obama was undercut mainly by his own severe problems, especially his 20 year relationship with Wright.
We now […]

I have always expressed myself best through the medium of cartooning. Somehow it’s an easier way to express my highest hopes and greatest fears. I’d like to share a nightmare scenario. Obama wins the nomination. The Republicans take over as the General Election becomes the focus of attention.

UPDATE: Alegre has added critical information on Barack Obama’s two new attack ads in Pennsylvania — laced with false accusations against Hillary. SEE her update at the end. - Susan
Hillary’s been accused of using the “Republican attack playbook” in her campaign to win the Democratic nomination, and as I’ve pointed out several times in […]

This is a must-watch video clip from C-Span’s Washington Journal, this morning — via Truthtelling007’s YouTube page:
Truer words. This articulate caller gets the media’s mis-focus on his remarks. She gets what Obama was saying: that small-minded small-town Pennsylvanians are bigots. She also gets that his comments will do longterm damage to his […]

Even as Democratic bigwigs Pelosi, Kerry, Leahy, and others try to force Hillary out of the race before 10 states have voted and Michigan and Florida remain uncounted, shadowy Republican operatives and 527 groups are putting their finishing touches on plans to destroy Obama:
The Boston Globe reports that these operatives
are busy arming for […]

Long before it occurred to anyone else, Larry Johnson has been analyzing why Republicans have been quietly salivating at the prospect of Obama as their general election opponent. Read Larry’s “Why Are the Rightwing Republicans Hyping Obama?,” from December 2007. (Why have the ‘wingers been excoriating Hillary? To get her out of the way.)
The […]

While Susan et. al. look at the bright side of what happened last night, which in terms of sheer excitement and suspense rivaled Super Tuesday, I’ll be the skunk at the picnic and force all of you nice people to think about the so-called “press” assigned to cover this campaign and the so-called Democratic “party […]
