    • Obama raises $52M in June, setting torrid new pace

      Posted by Jeff from Associated Press

      WASHINGTON (AP) -- Though he's raking in the cash so far, Barack Obama's decision to forgo public funds for the fall campaign means he must keep up his torrid pace - a tall order that will tax his time, test his Internet support and require the help of Democratic donors who once wished for his defeat....

      Obama Campaign Hurting Late Night Comedians

      Posted by Jeff from International Herald Tribune

      "There has been little humor about Obama: about his age, his speaking ability, his intelligence, his family, his physique. And within a late-night landscape dominated by white hosts, white writers, and overwhelmingly white audiences, there has been almost none about his race. ... "We're carrion birds," said Stewart, "We're sitting up there saying 'Does he seem weak? Is he dehydrated yet? Let's attack.' ... So far, our take is that he's positioning himself to be on a coin." Colbert said he had been freer to poke fun at Obama than other late-night hosts because "my character on the show doesn't like him. I'm expected to be hostile to him." Maher, who is host of a politically oriented late-night show on HBO, said, "If you can't do irony on the cover of The New Yorker, where can you do it?"

    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?

    Janet Napolitano, Homeland Security Secretary?

    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.
