      Obama Opens Double-Digit Lead

      Posted by Jeff from Newsweek

      The global financial meltdown has caused a dramatic shift in the 2008 presidential race, according to the latest NEWSWEEK poll. With four weeks left in the presidential campaign, Barack Obama now leads John McCain by double digits, 52 percent to 41 percent among registered voters-a marked shift from the last NEWSWEEK poll, conducted one month ago, when the two candidates were tied at 46 percent.

      Obama rejects McCain's mortgage buyup plan

      Posted by Jeff from MSNBC

      The plan would cause the government "to massively overpay for mortgages in a plan that would guarantee taxpayers lose money, and put them at risk of losing even more if home values don't recover," Obama economic adviser Jason Furman said in a statement. "The biggest beneficiaries of this plan will be the same financial institutions that got us into this mess, some of whom even committed fraud."

      Send the prez-elect to Poland Climate Talks

      Posted by Jeff from Grist

      In December 2009, the leaders of the world are scheduled to come together in Copenhagen to negotiate a successor to the Kyoto agreement. If there's any chance of that meeting providing a real breakthrough, though, there's much groundwork that needs to be done beforehand. In December 2008, after the American election but before Inauguration Day, the world is meeting in Poland to prepare for the Copenhagen climate talks. The winner of November's presidential election could rivet the world's attention on these negotiations if he flew to Poland in December and declared that the United States is back in the game.

      A week after Obama's poll numbers spiked in battleground states and after McCain's campaign announced it was retreating from Michigan, Obama has opened up a nearly 100-point electoral-vote lead, according to NBC's new map. Obama now has a 264-174 advantage over McCain, up from his 212-174 edge last week.

    Official: Richardson to be commerce secretary

    I like Richardson and believe he has a meaningful place in this administration, but Commerce Secretary? What's the expertise? Do you agree? And if so, where do you think Richardson is better suited?

    if her decades of failing to secure the Mexico-AZ border are any indication, then she should do a real bang-up job securing the whole country

    Obama advisers: Bush era war criminals will walk

    I think it’s time to say no to this. If we supported Obama to bring about change, then we have to insist that’s what he delivers

    Obama's Transparent Presidency: Weekly YouTube Addresses

    Obama will cause more of a recession. He wants to implement all kinds of programs. The money has to come from somewhere. We already know he is going to raise taxes on the very companies that provide jobs to the people. In order for those companies to afford the increase, prices will go up. People will buy less. Employees will get laid off. Welfare will be at an all time high. With the US Gov handing out checks, there will be a larger influx of immigrants (legal and illegal) which will put even more strain. McCain would NOT raise those taxes and would create incentives to stimulate job growth which would obviously get the economy going. Can it be explained any more simple?

    The only fear I have is an economical fear. A total collapse of the world economy. I have absolutely no fear of any country’s military aggression. I do have a fear thatourr country is going into a severe recession or depression. The mismangement of our economy and our getting off the gold standard will be the cause of it. It will not only cause a severe reciession in the US but the world as well. It has already started… I am totally out of equities and are in all cash positions. Others would be wise to do the same. As far as Obama is concerned, he will will do a better job the anyone else who could have been selected.
