		<description>HRC thought she was just going to show-up and become the Democratic nominee. Fortunately for the American people, she had to debate specifically her stance on immigration, healthcare, social security afer being called evasive and pandering to every special interests/groups.

		<description>Obama has some accomplishments under his belt, but many of his colleagues believe that he has not bothered to master the intricacies of legislation or the maze of Senate rules.

		<description>If we are going to use analogies, I would say this entire campaign has been a witch hunt against a fine US senator and former first lady by a deceitful Obama campaign with the full complicity of the main stream media.

		<description>Obama is going to win the Democratic nomination. And Judicial Watch is going to do their level best to besmirch his character. That&#039;s sort of what they do. That&#039;s a small price to pay for the Obama&#039;s great leadership.  OBAMA 2008!!

Thankfully Obama is not an established Washington politican.  That why America needs a visionary leader who will think outside the box and can negotiate across the ailse with Republicans.  He doesn&#039;t have to play with his hair before he can shout or debate the issues facing Americans as John Edwards&#039; style suggests, nor does he have to do a total makeover to present himself as a kinder, gentler politician as Hillary Clinton&#039;s style suggests.  Barack Obama is comfortable being Barack Obama - a genuine, compassionate, visionary, an energetic proven leader!
Oh yea, slimy, negative campaigning gives insight on how both Clinton and Edwards will govern if given the opportunity.

		<description>Greg,
I found that interesting but must also note that on the same Judicial Watch List Hillary Clinton was #1.
Obama&#039;s speeches of late has been much less substantial in nature.  John Edwards has continued making speeches that address the issues that should concern Democratic voters.
Getting out of Iraq
Keeping out of Iran
Fighting the lobbyists to achieve true Health Care Reform.
Restoring America&#039;s image in the world.

		<description>Washington, DC –Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, today released its 2007 list of Washington’s “Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians.” The list includes Senator Barack Obama (D-IL): A “Dishonorable Mention” last year, Senator Obama moves onto the “ten most wanted” list in 2007. In 2006, it was discovered that Obama was involved in a suspicious real estate deal with an indicted political fundraiser, Antoin “Tony” Rezko. In 2007, more reports surfaced of deeper and suspicious business and political connections It was reported that just two months after he joined the Senate, Obama purchased $50,000 worth of stock in speculative companies whose major investors were his biggest campaign contributors. One of the companies was a biotech concern that benefited from legislation Obama pushed just two weeks after the senator purchased $5,000 of the company’s shares. Obama was also nabbed conducting campaign business in his Senate office, a violation of federal law.

		<description>Mr Jay.... I totally disagree with you ... Its a shame for all people who cannt afford health care for their lives in this richest country of the world... dont blame politics or leaders ... it basically little awareness among the people to save something from ur earnings ... If ur not physically handicapped person and u cant support helthcare urself its a shame ...... especially living in this country ... Obama has mentioned this may time regarding education and health care in his speaches ... &quot;It is  the parents and individuals resposible for better education for their kids and it hard to believe how anyone can be left without healcare protection in this country &quot; .... he said it with his convictions ... I see people lack in understanding his points ... Its not the experience but a leadership is needed... remember American politics and media says america leads other counties ..its wrong ..america has been trying to rule other nations by its influence of money and power..never lead the world ..which is the hard truth ... and ahy shod america rule other nation ..let them njoy and struggle , its their right ..like right of american peopel in its soil..

		<description>As demonstrated by Axelrod&#039;s absurd statement yesterday, Obama is just not ready for prime time.  All the Obama trolls do lately is bring up GOP talking points that re-hash their partisan abuses of the 1990s.  News for those Obama trolls: that didn&#039;t work out so well for them -- doubt they&#039;ll do it again.  If so, the attacks will drive UP Hillary&#039;s approval ratings like they did Bill&#039;s.  Bottom line: Obama&#039;s charismatic, but doesn&#039;t seem to have much substance to back his rhetoric.  We don&#039;t need another empty rhetorician running this land.  He&#039;s also very naive about working with the opposition and his semi-covert anti-union strategy is horrible.  So far, both Hillary and Edwards have demonstrated more competence and leadership and their policy positions reflect more the will of Democrats and the American people.  For example, a recent Pew poll showed that 65% of Americans support a universal health care system.
