McCain and Obama's Wall Street Greed Team
(2 comments)

Barack, Say it's Nonsense that You Tried to Stall Troop Withdrawal
(4 comments)
The New York Post is no friend of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. Any knock of Obama by its editorial writers and op-ed columnists should be taken with the whole bag of salt.

Beating up on Palin Is a Lose Lose for Obama
(3 comments)
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama should do two things about GOP vice presidential pick Sarah Palin. The first is repeat: "I'm running against John McCain and I'm running for president not Vice President."

Clinton's Not a Racist, but There's a Reason Many Blacks Think He Is
Former President Bill Clinton was probably shocked at the storm of rage that he drew back in January with his apparent Jesse Jackson slough off of presumptive Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama's win in the South Carolina Democratic primary.

(1 comments)
On November 26, 2006 at a press conference in Los Angeles guess who said this: "We will challenge and urge all artists and comics to stop using this (n) word. What other group is subjected to such a degrading terminology?"

New Yorker Depicted Obama Horribly Wrong, but Got It Horribly Right about the Slanders
(4 comments)

Obama Never, Ever Said No to Bush on Iraq
(7 comments)
His very public record of his very public pledge to end the war NOW in stump speeches the year before he said that had changed, and his words and voting record on the war had changed too. This has caused much grief, anguish and disappointment among fervent Obama backers.

Out Bushing Bush Didn't Work for Gore or Kerry, Out McCaining McCain Won't Work For Obama Either
Presumptive Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama thinks he's found the right script to beat Republican rival John McCain. It's simple. Steal a big page from the GOP script.

Nader Talks Black
(18 comments)
One presidential candidate has brashly played the race card. It wasn't presumptive Republican presidential candidate John McCain or his rival Barack Obama. Both have tipped lightly around race in the campaign. But Ralph Nader didn't have any qualms about bring race into the campaign.

(4 comments)

How McCain Can Win the White House
(3 comments)
In a talk with reporters in Louisiana, Republican presidential contender John McCain implored disgruntled Hillary Democrats to back him. His pitch was I'm the toughest, most knowledgeable and most experienced on national security. The unmistakable inference is that rival Obama is too green, fresh, and untested to gamble with on national security.

Obama's Latino Dilemma
(1 comments)
A day before the Puerto Rican primary election, I talked with several Mexican workers and business professionals during a visit to Mexico City. The subject was American presidential politics and the upcoming election. They had only the haziest notion that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was the frontrunner for the Democratic Party nomination.

White Women Punishing Obama, Not Oprah
What started as a trickle of puzzled queries on Oprah's message board when she touted Obama in October eventually turned into angry complaints from many white women when she barnstormed for him in January.

Stop the Silly Talk about an Obama-Hillary Dream Ticket
In March close-to-presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama was blunt when asked if he would be Hillary Clinton's vice presidential running mate, "I'm not running for vice president." Clinton would likely give the same blunt answer to the silly talk that he should pick her as his running mate.

The Inexperience Knock may be a Bigger Hazard than Race to Obama
(5 comments)
The obsessive talk still is that race might wreck close-to-presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama's slog to the White House. Race is a hazard to Obama. But the even greater hazard is the knock that Obama simply is to green, too untested, and too soft to be a firm, and resolute commander in chief.

Romney Poses Bigger Threat to Obama than McCain
(1 comments)
The burning question is who close-to-presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama will pick as his running mate. The question is better asked of his GOP foe John McCain. His vice presidential pick is far more crucial than who Obama picks.

Race (and West Virginia) Makes the Democrat's Obama Gamble Riskier than Ever
(1 comments)
Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama has moved heaven and earth to keep race out of his campaign. He had no choice. He knew that if he gave even the faintest hint of a tilt toward black voters his campaign would be DOA.

McCain Didn't Need to Rap Obama to Relax Evangelicals
(1 comments)
Republican presidential candidate John McCain feigned fury at Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama for voting against the confirmation of Supreme Court justice John Roberts. This was not simply a cheap political shot at Obama, since Hillary Clinton, and 20 other Democrats also opposed Robert's confirmation.

Superdelegates Must Tell Color of Change What it can do with its Silly Vote for Obama Petition
(4 comments)
Color of Change which presumptuously bills itself as the premier national grassroots organization is the latest to jump into bully the super delegates for Obama game. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, DNC Chair Howard Dean tried their hand at it and failed.

Obama, Not Wright, Is Obama's Worst Enemy
(9 comments)
Whoever on Team Obama keeps feeding into Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's seeming compulsive need to speak out on the Reverend Jeremiah Wright should get the swift boot. When Wright went on his latest public and media tear, Obama should have simply issued a statement saying this: Wright is no longer my pastor. And as I have said repeatedly, his views do not reflect mine, and then move on.

Cop Acquittal in the Sean Bell Killing Was Inevitable
Even before the first witness was called in the Sean Bell trial, a defense attorney for one of the three officers charged with gunning down Bell flatly said that he thought his client and the other two officers would be acquitted in the killing of Bell. This was not typical attorney bluster. The defense attorney was right.

Vote Demographics Spells Much Bigger Trouble for Obama than Pennsylvania Loss

Pennsylvania Outcome Won't Sway Superdelegates But Money Will
A month before the crucial Pennsylvania primary an aide to a superdelegate bluntly told a reporter that top Democrats don't want the people to think the Democratic presidential nomination was stolen. The aide referred to the whispers, grumbles, and even loud shouts from both the Obama and Clinton camps about the superdelegates and their possible votes after Pennsylvania.

Sexism is the X Factor for Hillary that McCain and Obama Don't Have to Worry About
Chelsea Clinton is incredibly naïve, incredibly sheltered, incredibly in denial, or maybe a bit of all three. In late March, Hillary Clinton's daughter told a Young Democrats audience in North Carolina that she was shocked at the nasty things some male (and even female) folk on the campaign trail are saying about her mother such as "Iron my shirts," and "the nutcracker in your......."

Ten Troubling Questions I Asked Obama to Answer before McCain Asks Them
(16 comments)
Here are ten troubling questions for Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama that he'd be wise to answer coming from me. If he's the Democratic presidential nominee you can bank that John McCain and the GOP truth squad will ask him them.
